Inquiry

The building we are applying for LEED-EB certification is a residential building located at the heart of a University campus. The majority (approx. 99%) of occupants (students) live in the building and either walk or bike around the campus to \'commute\' to classes. Our school has pursued an Innovation point for the institution\'s Commuter Choice program for several NC and CI projects (e.g. http://greencampus.harvard.edu/theresource/leed-submit/nc/documents/5_Cowperthwaite_ID_Transp.pdf ; http://greencampus.harvard.edu/theresource/leed-submit/nc/documents/blackst_id_commutera.pdf ) Since it is a campus setting and a residential building, can the reduction in drive-alone rates be shown campus-wide and applied towards the SS 4 credit for our LEED-EB project? We propose the following submittals to demonstrate compliance with this credit:
