FAQs about LTc7 :

My mixed-use building contains space types that aren’t listed in the Base Ratios table in the Reference Guide. How do I calculate the base ratio for my project?

I don’t have a copy of the Transportation Planning Handbook. How do I determine the base ratio for my project?

Can this credit be achieved if the project has no existing parking and is providing no new parking?

NC-v4 LTc7:Reduced parking footprint

Calculating per Person

We have a unique project type (zoo) and are using the "other public assembly" use where you calculate parking spaces by "0.25/person in permitted capacity where not seated".  My question is, do we use daily average or peak visitors to calculate how many people are using our site?  Neither the ITE handbook nor Reference Guide really specify, but this makes a pretty big difference.

Hi Amber, What are you using for occupancy counts? Or FTE? I think either of these would be a good benchmark. So, (total full time equivalents+ peak transient visitors)*.25 = total number of spots Then your number will be consistent with other LEED credits that require using a person count, such as Indoor Water use reduction.
