Alternative Transportation: Low Emitting & Fuel Efficient Vehicles
LEED 2.2 Requirements:
OPTION 1 Provide low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles for 3% of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) occupants AND provide preferred parking for these vehicles.
OPTION 2 Provide preferred parking for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles for 5% of the total vehicle parking capacity of the site.
OPTION 3 Install alternative-fuel refueling stations for 3% of the total vehicle parking capacity of the site (liquid or gaseous fueling facilities must be separately ventilated or located outdoors).
For the purposes of this credit, low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles are defined as vehicles that are either classified as Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) by the California Air Resources Board or have achieved a minimum green score of 40 on the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) annual vehicle rating guide.
"Preferred parking" refers to the parking spots that are closest to the main entrance of the project (exclusive of spaces designated for handicapped) or parking passes provided at a discounted price.
Submittals (DESIGN): Confirm the appropriate project compliance path. In addition, please provide the following project data and calculation information based on the appropriate compliance path:
Option 1 - Low Emitting/Fuel Efficient Vehicles
- Provide the FTE occupancy for the project.
- Provide project drawings to show the location(s) of the preferred parking spaces for low-emitting/fuel-efficient vehicles.
- Confirm the quantity of low-emitting/fuel-efficient vehicles provided and their make, model and fuel type.
- Confirm whether each vehicle is a zero-emission vehicle or enter each vehicle's ACEEE Green Score.
Option 2 - Preferred Parking for Low-Emitting/Fuel Efficient Vehicles
- Provide the total on-site parking capacity of the site.
- Confirm the number of preferred parking spaces provided.
- Provide project drawings to show the location(s) of the preferred parking spaces for low-emitting/fuel-efficient vehicles.
Option 3 - Alternative Fuel Refueling Stations
- Provide the total on-site parking capacity of the site.
- Provide project drawings to show the location(s) of the alternative fuel refueling stations.
- Confirm quantity of stations, fuel type, manufacturer and model number of stations, and fueling capacity per station for an 8-hour period.
- AND (For Projects With Special Circumstances) - Provide an optional narrative to describe any additional comments or notes regarding special circumstances or considerations regarding the project's credit approach.
