Depending on your compliance path option (chosen earlier):

Option 1: Check local codes and make sure your planned parking capacity meets but does not exceed minimum parking requirements. Identify preferred parking spaces for at least 5% of total building occupants.
Option 2: For rehabilitations, verify that no parking is added and provide preferred parking spaces for at least 5% of total building occupants.

Case 2: Tenant Space More Than 75% of Total Building Area

Include submittal requirements within each targeted construction spec section and add general requirements to the division 1 bid package. Include a copy of any submittal documents that the contractor may need to fill out.

Whenever possible, designate in the construction specifications that contractors use specific sources you have verified as suppliers of reused items. This will help save research time for the contractors.

When calculating for preferred parking spaces, always round up! For example if you have (125 FTE X 0.05) ÷ 2, the math works out to 3.13 spaces—but you will be required to provide four spaces, and not three.

Incorporating the LEED requirements directly into the drawings and specs is a good way to remind the contractor and subcontractors of the requirements. 

Calculate 5% of the tenant occupant FTE, to determine the number of carpool and vanpool preferred parking spaces will need to be allocated. Assuming that all carpools will have two occupants per vehicle the calculation will be as follows. However, if you know there will be more occupants per vehicles, adjust the calculations to reflect the difference. Consequently, you may not need to provide as many parking spaces but will need to justify the reasoning in a short narrative.
Total required preferred parking spaces = (FTE X 0.05) ÷ 2.

Calculate the tenant occupant FTE, based on an eight-hour occupancy period. An FTE occupant of eight hours has a value of one (8 hours ÷ 8). A part-time occupant, on the other hand, has a fractional value (number of hours ÷ 8). If your tenant space has shifts, calculate the FTE based on the highest volume shift. It follows that:
Total FTE staff occupants = Total Occupant Hours ÷ 8.

Case 1, Option 1: Minimize Parking

To document this credit on LEED Online, a lease containing language verifying your project meets the requirements is ideal. If your lease does not contain this language, you can provide a letter from the owner verifying compliance.
