FAQs about EAc2 :

The energy cost offset from onsite renewable energy cannot be used to demonstrate compliance with the prerequisite. Can this cost offset still be credited to the proposed energy cost savings for this credit?

CS-v4 EAc2:Optimize energy performance

Vertically Attached Project

Our team is working on a project which follows a vertically attached approach. A C&S building is sitting on top of a retail building, each with separate entrance, energy metering, management, etc. Both buildings share underground parking space. Is there a way in which energy savings from the parking space may be considered towards energy efficiency of the C&S building? The parking space has been considered as a separate building, since it is separated from the C&S building by the retail space.

It all depends on the project's LEED project boundary. See MPR 2 - http://www.usgbc.org/node/2742911?return=/credits/new-construction/v4/minimum-program-requirements - if you can justify the project boundary and it includes some of the parking you can could savings from it.
