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?

Our large classroom building is on a college campus and will only have 3 parking spots total. All 3 will be designated as EV. We won't have any car sharing spots or otherwise. Does this qualify for this credit?

Yes, you are pursuing via Option 2. Please review the reference guide for Option 2 requirements.

Does it matter how many occupants there are compared to how many parking spaces? We'll have approximately 400 FTE occupants and 800 transient occupants, but the only parking we'll have are the 3 EV spots.

Sometimes the reviewer might question limited parking, however Option 2 is not tied to occupancy counts. Please see the credit form to calculate EV parking equivalency, you will likely have more than 3 EV equivalent parking spaces. LEED reviewers have never made me include parking outside of the LEED project boundary on University projects, but one time I did have to justify the dedicated parking through a narrative.  FYI LEED v4 is clear that parking outside of the LEED project boundary but dedicated to the project must meet the parking requirements for credit achievement.
