Credit Interpretation Request
Methodology to apportion parking bays for a shared basement
Credit Interpretation Request Number
TRA2-C-OB1 -0783
Ruling
2015-12-08
Methodology to apportion the relative site bays to each building’s portion of GLA according to a pro-rata basis, where the allocation of the parking bays calculated according to each buildings representative GLA as a portion of the overall site GLA, is conditionally approved. The approval of this CIR is thus contingent on the following:
In addition to the documentation requirements stipulated in the Green Star SA Office v1.1 Technical manual, the project team must submit a signed letter of confirmation from the building owner clearly showing that all buildings considered have the same use classification (e.g. Office, Retail, etc.).
The GBCSA further notes that the same apportioning methodology should align with all other relevant credits in the submission (e.g. ENE credits, MAT credits, etc).
Additionally, the project team must still demonstrate within the submission that the parking allocated for the building pursuing certification using this alternative methodology meets the credit criteria.
