I'm not exactly sure where to place this question. We have a new client who may be interested in LEED for their building. They serve a rural area with a good percentage of Amish/Mennonite population. We have discussed the hitching post to be incorporated outside the building. What would be the best way/place to address this alternative form of transportation- horse and buggy - in LEED? Alternative compliance to SSc4.3?

Interesting question. My initial reaction was that I don't think this approach will work....but it does seem to meet the intent of reducting the impacts associated with automobile use. I would say try it either under SSc4.2 or 4.3 - I will be interested to see what the reviewers say. I would make sure you have a contingency plan or are not counting on those points to reach your targeted certification level though, just in case.
