FAQs about SSc3.2 :

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?

Has anyone had any success approaching this credit using the Retail requirements--where it is only required to provide lockable changing rooms? There may be a CIR related to a similar attempt/approach for other credits/certifications, but it would be too broad to search...I think.

What's the reasoning for not providing bike racks or showering facilities?

client/users not interested in showers, bike racks will be provided, but was thinking since retail allows you to only provide a lockable changing room that perhaps this credit could be approached with that intent. any insight into why leed for retail doesn't require showers?

to clarify--we are providing bike racks, and lockable changing rooms, per LEED for Retail requirements, and attempting an 'Alternative Compliance Path.'
