Inquiry

Our project is a new works yard for the City and is a campus style site, with four main buildings and a fueling station. Due to the industrial nature of some of the buildings, and based on advice from LEED project managers, we have defined a LEED area on our site, surrounding the two buildings, the administration building and the parking operations building, that are most like office buildings. The LEED site area also includes the staff parking area. The fueling station is not included in our LEED site area. The fuel station will have a propane refueling station to be used for City fleet vehicles. The vehicles that will be fueled at this station will be used directly by the staff in the buildings on our LEED site, and the capacity of the propane dispenser will be more than enough to serve 3% of the total parking capacity. Can we count the propane dispensing station towards our alternative transportation credit, and if so, can we do so without counting the fuel island as part of our LEED site area?
