Parksmart and LEED Synergies

LEED and Parksmart work hand in hand.

For parking structures within a LEED project boundary, some achieved LEED credits can also earn Parksmart measure recognition. In addition, some achieved Parksmart measures can contribute to a LEED certification as innovation points. This document provides guidance for projects seeking to leverage the synergies between Parksmart and LEED.  For purposes of this document, Parksmart refers to Parksmart Version 1.0 with Addenda.
