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?

Preferred Parking Spaces Allocation

Our project is a new shopping mall that includes retail shops, a supermarket, and restaurants. All parking spaces are located in basement floors (basement 1 to 6). While we were allocating the preferred parking spaces, the owner mentioned that the first basement parking spaces will be all reserved to the supermarket. In order to comply with IEQc4.3, can we allocate the preferred parking spaces for the first basement separately, and the remaining preferred spaces at the second basement? Or do we have to put all preferred parking spaces in the first basement?

Please refer to LEED Interpretation #10202. "Preferred parking spaces in a garage are those that are the shortest combined driving distance from the parking garage entrance and walking distance to the project building's main entrance(s)" which depending on the garage design probably means putting all LE/FEV parking in the first basement.
