There was a very similar post on the NC forum, though it similarly has not yet been resolved:  https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum...

Does Option 2. apply for underground parking

emily reese moody Sustainability Director, Certifications & Compliance Jacobs LEEDuser Expert 466 thumbs up September 2, 2024- 2:38 pm Hi Gwenael, Yes, underground parking spaces qualify under Opt 2. If the parking is entirely under the building, you should not need any additional compliance information. If the underground parking extends beyond the footprint of your building, then you will need to follow the guidance posted here for reference:  https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/ground-level-surface-undergroun...
