NC-2009 SSc4.2: Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms
We currently have a project located in Istanbul, Turkey which is reviewed according to the LEED NC v2009 rating system. Unfortunately there is no bicycle racks on the project site because of inaccessibility in Istanbul. Is it still possible for us to achieve this credit in this case?

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

Lara, in that case you could simply choose to not pursue the credit. It's not a prerequisite so I'm not sure why you want to pursue the credit if it's not applicable to the project. Make sense?
