FAQs about SSc4.2 :

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?

Destination resort and need for bike racks?

My client is building a destination resort which includes a hotel, golf course, spa, etc. I understand the need for bike racks for resort staff who will be commuting locally. But,would they need to include bike racks for the resort visitors? It is unlikely that anyone headed to a golf resort would arrive on their bike while pulling a trailer with their clubs!

Hi Cista, If you talk about transient occupants (guests), they can be excluded for a resort/hotel but not transient visitors. On a previous resort project we excluded the transient visitors as well from bike calculation because the resort was isolated and it was unlikely that someone would get there in bicycle. At the opposite of guests you would have to justify it. Check ID#3130 and other CIR.
