Inquiry
The LEED-NC Application Guide for Multiple Buildings and On-Campus Building Projects states: "In the case of centralized parking, accommodations for alternative-fueled vehicles may be made at the central facilities, providing that those accommodations are credited cumulatively to each building\'s need based on the preceding criteria. The centralized parking must be within 1/4 mile of the building(s) or serviced by a campus shuttle." Is this approach applied only to campus fleets, or can it be applied to building occupant parking? We are working on a university building that is new construction with no new parking spaces. Because approximately 100 of the building users will be using existing campus parking in a nearby lot, we take the above paragraph to mean that we can dedicate 5 spaces (5%) in the campus lot to low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles. Please confirm this approach.
