Inquiry
Our project is on a university campus and would like to achieve the credit on a campus-wide basis. The following questions have to do with the carpool space requirement. 1) Parking is only allowed with the purchase of a permit. Of all parking permits, residential parking represents 17% and commuter parking is 83%. This LEED credit is meant to addresses commuting, and thus it would seem to make most sense to base the calculations on the number of commuter parking permits rather than that of all permit holders, or of all building occupants. May a campus base the calculations on commuter parking permits? 2) The university is required by the city to guarantee that up to 10% of commuter permit spaces can be reserved for carpools (and the university is allowed to reserve and mark the carpool spaces as needed per demand). Can the city\'s requirement be used as a proxy for achieving the carpool space requirement?"
