FAQs about SSc4.2 :

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

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?

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

Serving all occupants

I am building a new tower right next to an old tower, connected by an existing parking garage. Our LEED boundary is just the new construction. We are adding a fitness center with showers to this new building, and provide enough bike storage and showers to achieve point compliance for the new building occupants. The existing building has it's own fitness center and bike storage already. Does the owner need to specifically create a policy (documentation) that the new building fitness center is only available to the NC occupants in order to comply with this credit?

I think you have two options: a) designate one fitness center for one building and one for another, or b) document that the two centers together have enough capacity to meet LEED requirements for both buildings. That way you ensure that there will be room for everyone in the LEED building according to LEED standards.
