A use type only counts once (retail store that has a nail salon only counts once)
Uses must come from at least 3 of the 5 categories, exclusive of the building's
primary use
No more than two uses of each type (maximum of 2 restaurants for example)
,Uses that are planned count if they are available within one year of LEED
occupancy.

A retail project includes 30 FTE and 800 daily visitors. The parking lot will have 20
employee parking spaces and 100 visitor parking spaces. How many spaces, and of
what type, are needed for LT Credit Green Vehicles?
A. 6 preferred parking spaces and 3 alternative fueling station spaces
B. 6 spaces for preferred parking, 2 of which also have alternative fueling stations
C. 7 spaces for preferred parking and 6 alternative fueling station spaces
,D. 2 preferred parking spaces and 1 alternative fueling station space - CORRECT
ANSWER-A. 6 preferred parking spaces and 3 alternative fueling station spaces
Parking is based on the number of spaces, not FTE. Mentions of FTE in a question
about parking should be ignored in favor of the total parking capacity, which in this
case is 120.
For LT Credit Green Vehicles, 5% of parking must be preferred, and 2% of parking
must have a fueling station.
The two cannot be combined. Remember to round up.
Which EVSE qualification is required for LT Credit Green Vehicles?
A. Located outdoors and not in a garage
B. Connection to an onsite renewable energy system
C. A Level 1 charging capacity
D. Connection to a network or the Internet for participation in a demand response
program or time-of-use pricing - CORRECT ANSWER-D. Connection to a network or
the Internet for participation in a demand response program or time-of-use pricing
Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or a cellular connection is required so the device can send usage
data to a server and so it can participate in a demand response or time-of-use
service.

8-miles (12 kilometers) away
C. A site within 3 miles (4800-meters) bicycling distance to 10 diverse uses on a
bicycle network
D. A site within a 1/4-mile (400 meter) walking distance of a bicycle network that
connects to a light rail station within a 1-mile (1,600 meters) bicycling distance. -
CORRECT ANSWER-D. A site within a 1/4-mile (400 meter) walking distance of a
bicycle network that connects to a light rail station within a 1-mile (1,600 meters)
bicycling distance.
The network must be within 200 yards (180 meters) of bicycle storage or a functional
entry.The 1/4-mile (400 meter) walking distance is for access to public transit credit.

within a 200-yard (180-meter) walking distance or bicycling distance from a bicycle
network that connects to at least one of the following:
- at least 10 diverse uses
- a school or employment center, if the project total floor area is 50% or more
