NC-v4 LTc8:Green vehicles

"7% for green vehicles "

"LT Credit Reduced Parking Footprint. Project teams also pursuing the related credit must reserve 12% of total parking capacity for preferred vehicles (with a required 7% for green vehicles in LT Credit Green Vehicles and 5% for carpools or vanpools in LT Credit Reduced Parking Footprint). Guidance for locating preferred parking is the same for both credits."

Based on this, should I consider increasing the percentage of EV parking from 5% to 7%, or does the current allocation already account for the 2% designated for EVSE parking spaces? Moreover, if it is necessary to raise it to 7%, would I still be compliant if 5% of the parking spots are designated for EVs in a preferred location, and additionally, the 2% EVSE spaces are also situated in a preferred location?

 

Thanks in advance

First, make sure you are looking at the most current version of the credit. The current language aligns with 5% as listed under Green Vehicles.  Second, I would recommend you look to subtitute LEED v4.1 versions for both Reduced Parking Footprint and Electric Vehicles. The requirements are simplified.
