Dear All,

we are applying the Campus Approach to certify a set of buildings within the same site (using the LEED NC BD+C v4).

We are using the guidance of the following document: LEED Campus Guidance For Projects on a Shared Site - Applicable to LEED 2009 and LEED v4 Design and Construction, and Operations and Maintenance Rating Systems, Updated April 1, 2014.

According to the above referred document, LT C6 Bicycle Facilities is eligible for the Campus Approach. However, we could not find specific guidance related with the following issues:

  1. requirements related with the distance between the racks and building entrances. Is it necessary to respect , for each building, the maximum distance ? If yes, what is the difference / advantage of using the campus approach instead of a single building approach ?
  2. can we install all the showers in a single building, accessible to all campus occupants ? If yes, is there any distance requirement between the building where the showers are installed and other campus buindings ? If no (i.e., it is necessary to install showers in each building) what is the difference / advantage of using the campus approach instead of a single building approach ?

Can you provide us with guidance / clarifications related with the use o campus approach for this specific credit ?

Thanks in advance
