The total area of a building project is 50,300 sf. A new tenant space will be 39,420 sf. The current number of FTE building occupants is 625. The new tenant will add 600 FTE occupants. How many carpool spaces does the project require to earn Sustainable Sites Credit, Alternative Transportation-Parking Availability?
A: 15
B: 62
C: 31
D: 30

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Reference: Sustainable Sites Credit, Alternative Transportation-Parking Availability, Calculations,

The tenant space takes up 78% of the entire building (39,420 sf / 50,300 sf) so Case 2 should be used.

Provide preferred parking capable of serving 5% or more of the BUILDING occupants.

1,225 FTE X 0.05 = 62 / 2 = 31 required preferred parking spaces

Division by 2 occurs because the carpool serves 2 occupants per vehicle.

62 would also achieve the credit, but the question asks about the requirement - which implies the mimimum to meet the requirements of the credit.
