FAQs about SSc4.2 :

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

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?

NC-2009 SSc4.2:Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms

Shower for a transportation hub

We are working on a transportation hub next to a stadium. The project won't have any full time employes on site. However it will provide a bathroom for bus drivers and security personnel who will use it throughout the day . Also we are projecting a transient occupancy at peak period of 100. Base upon this frequency of users we are estimating 2 FTE and 100 transient for a total of 6 bike racks. Because the bus drivers don't start their routes at the hub and the restroom is not open to the public; nobody will use the shower facilities. Will LEED allow us to omit the shower in this situation?

L Ch,I think it is unlikely GBCI will allow you to omit the shower. Usually if you cannot meet the requirments of this credit the review team will tell you that not all credits are applicable to every project. You could submit a formal query to GBCI, but I think it's a long shot.
