FAQs about SSc4.2 :

Do bike racks have to be within the LEED project boundary?

My project type serves visitors who can reasonably be expected to not be using bikes, e.g. hotel, airport, assisted living facility. Can I exclude them from bike rack requirements?

Is a general storage room that is accessible to residents acceptable for covered bike storage?

Do I round up or down? What if the calculations show that I need 0.5 showers?

Our building is mostly residential. Must we provide showers and changing rooms for the nonresidential portion?

Does LEED have any requirements on spacing or the type of bike racks used? What about security?

Are there specific requirements for the changing rooms, such as size?

Based on my FTE calculations, I am only required to provide 1 shower to meet this requirement. Since both males and females will have access to this one shower, and it will be in a single room, does this satisfy the credit requirements? Can I use an exist

Our project is a group certification with two separate buildings. They are more than 200 yards apart. We have only included showers in one of the buildings, next to the gym. Employees in the showerless building may check in at the building with showers, however they do not primarily work at that location. Is this an acceptable strategy to achieve this credit?

We had a similar situation, and filed a CIR to confirm if a central locations for showers were acceptable or not. They responded that as long as the entrances between the buildings was less than 200 yards, the showers would be in compliance. However, my project exceeds this requirement so the credit is not viable. My understanding is that in Campus projects, this might be different - but Campus Group projects, each building must each comply with the requirements on its own.
