Full Description

1.1This specification provides requirements for demonstrating that a buildings location provides a minimal level of access to public transit such that building occupants can rely on public transit to travel to places of employment and to run typical errands.

1.2This specification addresses a single indicator regarding the environmental performance related to a buildings location. It provides one option for evaluating whether a building is located in such a way as to minimize the impacts associated with occupants travel.

Note 1:The indicator in and of itself is insufficient to imply any level of sustainability for the building or the neighborhood. Similarly, a buildings failure to meet this specification does not necessarily signify a lack of sustainability. Other indicators may be more appropriate for that building or region; those indicators are outside the scope of this specification.

1.3The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
