CI-2009 IDc1:Innovation in Design

EV Charging Stations

We have a CI project on a University Campus in which we are trying to get an ID point for the use of charging stations located in nearby parknig structures (various places nearby) to the project area. The project is the third floor build-out of a recently constructed LEED Gold building. No new parking was built (for either project), but by local codes doing a SF takeoff, just 35 new spaces (3% of which equals ~ 1 EV charger) would have had to have been built if the building was a stand-alone structure. Now, seeing as how there is no SSc4.3 for CI (and therefore not contributing to an existing credit), can we get this point? Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.

I think this is a great idea for an ID point. Although I have never tried doing this before for a CI project, I can see no reason not to try. The suggested credit is not addressed by any credit in the LEED CI ref. guide and thus eligible for an ID point. I think you will have an even easier time achieving this ID point simply because LEED has already recognized the benefits seen through SSc4.3. You already have the intent, requirement and doc submittals laid out for you by SSc4.3. I would suggest including a detailed narrative explaining the benefits of EV charging stations to the University Campus as a regular building as well as a school. I would also include a map of how close these EV stations are to adjacent buildings (specifically your LEED CI project). If they come back to you after 1st review, I would suggest doubling the credit requirement.

Dominique Arrieta, Lorne Mlotek I'm keen to know if you have succeeded in achieving innovation point for implementing EV stations in LEED CI programme. For one of our project we are planning to implement EV stations and I’m keen to know your experience. Thanks Sriman
