Dear All - Our CI library renovation has a proposed area dedicated for bicycle storage, however, we have no showering facilities in our proposal or have no shower/changing facilities within 200 yards of the building entrance. According to my calculations we are technically required to provide 0.04 showering facilities. Therefore, I assume this would be zero? The reason for this value is because the library has very low staff occupants. Can we still pursue this credit or will LEED round the number up 1 shower/changing facility thus meaning we will get 0 points?
Thanks!

Simon, our experience in this kind of situation has been that LEED does not allow you to round down—you must always round up. So you would need one shower. Which I think makes sense here—if you're not offering showing facilities, the credit simply doesn't fit.
