I'm working with a project that has 2 levels of parking underground (apprx 160 stalls) and an additional small surface lot that is less than half shaded/covered (apprx 30 stalls). The building subleases this surface lot to another building across the street, so occupants of the LEED Project Building are not allowed to use these stalls. However, it is part of our LEED Project Boundary. Is it possible to exclude these stalls since we cannot use them? If we have an argument for exclusion we would be able to qualify for exemplary performance. Please advise. Thank you!

Alexis I think if they are in your project boundary you need to include them in the credit calculations. You should either exclude them from the LEED boundary or try to meet the credit intent for those spaces. Excluding them from your calcs just for this credit on a technicality doesn't stand the test of common sense and simplicity in my mind.
