parking garage
I have a project where I have an existing parking garage on a campus that has PV's on the roof. This parking garage is not part of our LEED site boundary, can I still earn SSc7.1?

Lisa, you could only earn SSc7.1 with this garage if you include it in consistently in your credit calculations. In this case it may appear to GBCI that you are cherry-picking a green benefit from a nearby building without consistently evaluating how that building affects the overall LEED rating for your project.

If the parking garage is essential to the day to day operation of the facility, the leed project boundry should include it. I my opinion, a set amount of parking should be required by future versions of leed. Buildings don't and can't not have place for the occupants to park.
