Inquiry

We have four LEED Registered projects within a prison expansion phase construction. We wish to determine how best to define our projects for LEED purposes as follows: Administration Building "A" (a building outside the secure perimeter) Close Custody Housing "D,E,F, & G" (High Security cell blocks, 4 identical buildings registered as one project) IMU/Seg Housing "C" (cell block with Maximum Security/special needs inmates) Core Facility "H" (multiple use building) Each of these buildings will share one new large parking (400+ spaces) lot and can be used to qualify each of these four projects for SSc4.4 (Parking Capacity), appropriately treating this expansion for LEED calculations as a campus environment. We would like to investigate whether our projects can earn SS Credit 4.3 - Alt Fuel Vehicles. There are two potential paths we are considering: providing bio-diesel vehicles and/or installing a biodiesel refueling station. We need information on the quantity of bio-diesel vehicles and how many preferred parking spaces would be required. We presume that one on-site bio-diesel refueling station servicing the fleet will suffice. We have FTE figures which include employees and visitors. For LEED calculations we do not consider inmates as "building occupants" since they do not leave the premises and therefore cannot commute.
