FAQs about SSc4.4 :

If a non-residential project wants to use Option 4, which references the  ITE Parking Generation Study, where does one upload and submit required documentation? There is no Option 4 choice in the credit form.

How do you designate preferred parking if the parking facility is not under the owner's control?

How does one apply minimum zoning requirements to a project when it is part of a larger complex or campus?

Are there standards regarding how to document the spaces that will be dedicated as reserved?

How does a carpool/vanpool relate to a shared car service/company when it comes to the preferred parking requirements of this credit?

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

How does one account for off-site parking. Should the LEED boundary encompass this parking? Or alternatively may the project pursue the "no new parking" option?

If a project does not provide parking onsite but provides a shuttle service to new parking offsite, is that considered “no new parking” since the new parking is not onsite?

Does rebuilding an existing parking area with fewer spaces mean “no new parking”?

Hi Agata, Option 4 is available to projects that have no minimum local zoning requirements. For this option you must provide 25% fewer parking spaces than the applicable standard listed in the 2003 Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) “Parking Generation” study at http://www.ite.org. There's a good FAQ above about this option that's worth checking out.

Thank you for your answer. I already checked the Parking Generation study and it turnes out that for my building type - warehouse - there is an average number of parking spaces per person and per 1000sf. Do you know which of these to we should choose? Should we choose the one that is more strict for our project?

I think it makes sense to pick the more strict calculation. If that's an issue you might want to check in with GBCI to get confirmation, since this isn't something that can be easily adjusted later!
