We really need to meet the ratio of 1 for every 10 car parking spaces for carpool (10%)?. These should be separate or together?. How to justify the existence of these types of automobiles in the projec?t. And we need to accomplish this section of the credit in countries where carpooling is not common?

Maria Isabel, yes, the credit requires that 10% of off-street auto parking spaces be dedicated to either carpool vehicles or shared-use vehicles. The location of these parking spaces on the project site is up to the designer, and they don't necessarily need to be together. If carpooling or shared-use vehicles are uncommon and providing the parking spaces is a hardship, you may want to consider a CIR. Eliot
