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?

NC-2009 SSc4.3:Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles

Empty parking spots

We are installing alternative-fuel refueling stations, with preferred parking. We are also creating preferred parking for carpools. An announcement has been made company-wide that these spots are available and must be reserved. If no one reserves them, must they remain empty to comply?

Sandi, I don't think the reservation policy is really in the spirit of the LEED credit. Making people jump through that hoop to have a parking space that is already supposedly designated for them doesn't seem necessary. Also, do you have the signage? This should communicate clearly whom the spaces are for.Ultimately if you don't have any takers, will other people figure out that these spaces are empty and use them? Probably. If this happens, it will have transitioned to a facilities maintenance question, which is in the scope of LEED-EBOM or the LEED Dynamic Plaque, should you use one of those tools, and not your LEED-NC certification.
