NC-2009 SSc4.2: Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms
Our project site has a sufficient changing/shower facility that is existing in another building that also achieved LEED certification, including this point. If that changing facility is located within the 200 yards of our building entrance, but it was used to achieve a previous certification, can we still apply it to our point as well?

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?
Do bike racks have to be within the LEED project boundary?
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?

Possibly - if the number of showers is 0.5% of the FTE of both buildings combined, then it is adequate to serve both buildings. If it only has enough showers to serve the FTE of one building, than it can only be used for one building's certification.
