Inquiry

We are attempting LEED certification of an addition to an existing facility. Do we use the population of the entire facility to calculate parking capacity and carpool requirements? Related to this, the reference guide only talks about FTE and \'workers\'. How are 9-12 grade students counted in full time occupancy for credits 4.1 through 4.4 as not all will drive, many are bused, and some participate in senior 1/2 day work programs? There is no clear previous credit interpretation that I could find that addresses how credits 4.1 thru 4.4 apply to a K-12 school. How is parking capacity calculated, as most schools are exempt from any local parking ordinances and in many cases none exist for schools in the first place? What portion of the student body counts when calculating bicycles, showers, and carpools?
