Hi All,
In C&S project, the reference guide has provide a Default Occupancy Numbers for calculating the building occupant.
In this credit, we have to provide 1 on-site shower for the first 100 regular building occupants and 1 additional shower for every 150 regular building occupants thereafter.
When calculating the regular building occupants, does transients count toward?
For example, a Project type of "Retail, general" with 550,000 sft GFA, then there will be 1,000 employees and 4,231 transients.
Do we need [1+(1,000-100)/150 = 7] or [1+(1000+4231-100)/150 = 36] numbers of showers?
Thanks in advance!

Transients are not included as regular building occupants. Therefore, the are not required to be included in the calculation to determine the number of showers that must be provided. Transients only count toward the peak visitors number used to calculate short-term bicycle storage.
