Requesting some guidance in submitting for this credit using Option 4...
We have the ITE report; do we just download the relevant pages and somehow correlate that to the number of parkings spaces provided? Does anyone have a sample submission to share?
Thanks!

Since the letter template doesn't have an Option 4 choice, you'll need to indicate with the checkbox under "Additional Details" that you're using an alternative compliance path. Then, in the narrative box, reference the ITE study pages and indicate how many spaces would be expected per the ITE report, how many spaces you have, and what percent reduction that provides.

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?
