FAQs about SSc4.3 :

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?

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?

Hi, In our project we're reserving prefered parking spaces for low-emitting, fuel efficient and carpool vehicles. The signage would be painted on the floor of the parking space. We think that the terms low-emitting, fuel efficient and carpool should be translated to Catalan or Spanish, since is the local lenguage, is there any inconvenience? or should this sign be exclusively in english?

Interesting question Albert. Common sense tells me that Spanish or Catalan would be more appropriate to your project, but experience with LEED reviewers tells me that common sense does not always prevail when it comes to the letter of the law. In reading the FAQs above, it sounds like international projects are evaluated on a case by case basis in terms of verbaige. If you need to know for sure, this may be a good candidate for a CIR. Or if you have the luxury of time, you could submit it with the Spanish verbiage and see what they say.
