FAQs about SSc7.1 :

Our building doesn’t have any onsite parking. Can we earn this credit by documenting that we don’t provide parking to occupants?

How can we calculate the SRI of our existing hardscape materials?

Many of our building occupants use parking that’s outside the LEED project boundary and is not owned or maintained by building management or tenants (for example, city-owned street parking or a parking garage owned by another property manager). Do we in

We’re can’t earn this credit now but we’d like to when we go for EBOM recertification. How can reduce the heat island affect of our building’s site hardscape over time?

Subleased Parking Stalls

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.
