FAQs about SSc4.3 :

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?

Can a project pursue this credit via a combination of Option 1 (preferred parking) and Option 2 (alternative fueling stations)?

How should the signage read for preferred parking spaces?

For electric vehicle charging stations, how are the parameters established for fueling capacity?

I am working on a project with no parking spaces allocated. Can I earn this credit?

Our project is outside the U.S., and the LEED-approved ACEEE Green Score and CARB ratings and classifications don't apply to many vehicles. Is there another approach that is accepted?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

Automatic Parking System

Is it possible to achieve this credit by choosing the first option (preferred parking) and using an automatic parking system. This system is designed for 24 cars therefore I need to offer 2 preferred parkig spaces however the car owner cannot choose where his car will be. Thank you for any suggestions.

The automatic parking systems we've used don't provide any "preferred" location - since the cars get moved around they don't give the driver of those two preferred spaces a shorter walk or quicker access. If that's true for your system, you could use the discounted parking part of Option 1. There needs to be some real benefit for the drivers of the fuel-efficient vehicles - usually more convenient access or lower cost.
