FAQs about SSc3.2 :

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?

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

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

Distance to showers for a multi-tenant space

We're pursuing LEED CI for an executive lounge within an airport terminal. There is a bicycle parking area within 200 yards of the terminal entry, and we have showers within the tenant space that are within 200 yards of the lounge entry. The lounge itself is not, however, within 200 yards of the building entry. The credit language says, "Shower facilities may be either within the tenant's space or in a common facility within 200 yards of the main building entrance." Does this mean that we still qualify or is it saying that both options have to be within 200 yards of the building entry?

Sounds like you would meet the intent of the requirements if the showers are within the overall tenant space. That they are also within 200 yards of the lounge entry, the space pursuing LEED CI, only helps. The credit wording doesn't appear to require the showers to be within 200 yards of the building entry if they are within the tenant space, especially given the context of a large airport. Hope that helps!
