Hello, Our project is an adaptive reuse on an urban site that was previously about 95% impervious. We are increasing the area of vegetated space (the old parking lot is being demolished), collecting rainwater from about 6700 SF of the roof area, and creating a rain garden out of a vegetated parking island that is about 1800 SF. We had already put together the stormwater volume reduction calculations using the NRCS method before the team decided to add the rain garden (we had previously been considering pervious pavement for a section of the front driveway), and now we are having trouble determining...

We plan to allocate a % of spaces our LEED project building. Would we then take 5% of our allocated spaces to determine the number of spaces we need to reserve for LE/FE? Or would LEED require we take 5% of all the spaces (even though the lot serves other...
