FAQs about SSc4.4 :

How does one account for off-site parking. Should the LEED boundary encompass this parking? Or alternatively may the project pursue the "no new parking" option?

If a project does not provide parking onsite but provides a shuttle service to new parking offsite, is that considered “no new parking” since the new parking is not onsite?

Does rebuilding an existing parking area with fewer spaces mean “no new parking”?

If a non-residential project wants to use Option 4, which references the  ITE Parking Generation Study, where does one upload and submit required documentation? There is no Option 4 choice in the credit form.

How do you designate preferred parking if the parking facility is not under the owner's control?

How does one apply minimum zoning requirements to a project when it is part of a larger complex or campus?

Are there standards regarding how to document the spaces that will be dedicated as reserved?

How does a carpool/vanpool relate to a shared car service/company when it comes to the preferred parking requirements of this credit?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

NC-2009 SSc4.4:Alternative Transportation—Parking Capacity

Use of existing facilities - Cement Distribution Plant, Colombia

We are working in Colombia on a new 4,840sqft "dinning room facility" that will serve all users 24/7 of already existing administrative offices and truck drivers (this existing facilities are not certified). The existing buildings within the property and part of the same company, already have parking lot, distributed in the area. The question is, can we use those existing parking spaces to comply with LEED requirements? Hope you can help me. Best regards!

Edgar, it's helpful with this credit to think about which compliance path you are pursuing and how your situation matches up with that. I'd suggest reviewing the various options provided in the credit language (see above) and checking how they match with your situation. Which path do you want to pursue?

Hi Tistan, we are pursuing Option 1.

Are you adding any parking, or will any parking be in your LEED project boundary?If not, why not go with Option 3?

We can pursue Option 3, no problem, but what will happen if we want to comply with SScr4.3 - Option 1? Can we use the existin parking lots? Those existing parking spaces are providing service to the existent facilities... and will be the same for the new LEED building.

If you want to go down this path (Option 1), where I think you're going is to designate 5% of all parking on the plant as preferred for vanpools and carpools. That's how I understand your question of complying with Option 1 for parking that is not in your LEED project boundary. Let me know if I am misunderstanding.

You are correc Tristn. No new parking for SScr4.4 (option 3 ). Check. And for SScr4.3 complying with Option 1 for parking that is not in our LEED project boundary.
