Inquiry

This CIR is a follow-up to one made on 06.04.08 and answered on 06.25.08, regarding a campus-wide "Green Permit" program and compliance with the provisions for preferred LEV parking in an adjacent campus garage. The University\'s final details of the project provide a 20% discount for permits for vehicles achieving 37 mph or better, in accordance with the most current listing of the US Department of Energy (www.fueleconomy.gov). It does not, as the credit requires, use the ACEEE green score ratings as the criteria. As many vehicles with a minimum score of 40 do not have gas mileage estimates at or above the 37 mpg limit, we believe that the University\'s program is actually more stringent than the credit requires. Does USGBC agree with this assessment?
