EBOM-2009 SSc4: Alternative Commuting Transportation
Your Checklists sections says that "The baseline is calculated by assuming that each regular building occupant drives alone to and from the project building twice a day, five days a week, in a conventional vehicle.
Isn't the standard one round trip per day?

Yes it is. What are your thoughts on that?
Note that the baseline stipulates that the trip is "alone" and in a "conventional" vehicle. Carpooling and using efficient vehicles are two ways (among several others such as using public transit) to improve over the baseline.

If you consider that the average employee commutes to work in the morning, leaves from the office for lunch the lunch hour but returns to work and then commutes home at the end of the day - This would account for the average occupant driving to and from the project building twice per day.
