Hi, I have read the instruction for SS Credit 4 and choose option 3.

I am working on a project at a research university. We are seeking to obtain certification for a building on campus that consists of research, classroom, and office spaces.

I have a project that has operations 7 days a week. About 75% of workers come to the site Mon-Thu, and the other 25% of the workers come to the site Fri, Sat and Sun.

I am doing option 3, approach 1.

We have an inn that is seeking LEED certification. Our innkeeper lives in the building. Because we are in the center of a small town, we walk to the post office, bank and grocery store.

Any guidance on how to appropriately certify your own firm's building?

We need a hint for using the correct occupants.

Is a taxi considered to be "alternative transportation"? I would think that it is closer to "drive alone" since it would be a single user, and therefore wouldn't meet the credit intent.

I see some formal programs use “average vehicle ridership” (AVR) as an alternate metric. We are active participants with the Go Smart/Go Perks/Triangle Transit/Share The Ride program.
