FAQs about SSc3.2 :

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?

CI-2009 SSc3.2:Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms

Bicycle storage for whole building occupants, but no reservation

We are doing a project where the base building has enough bicycle places for the whole building occupants to use, but no bicycle places can be specifically reserved for any tenant. Is there a applicable alternative compliance approach?

I imagine you will need to prove that there are enough to accomodate the entire building. This way you would be able to argue that even though they aren't assigned, your tenants will always have ones to use. There's some information on this under the Checklists tab above.

Emily, my project faces the same dilemma as Ruifei above. What do you recommend is the best way to illustrate that there are enough bike racks to accommodate the entire building?

Basically, you would run the credit calculations but for the whole building. Do your best to get occupancy numbers from building management, or estimate if needed.

Do you base calculations on 5% of the FTE per LEED-CI requirements or 3% of the FTE based on core and shell requirements if you have to use default occupancy values?
