NC-2009 SSc4.2: Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms
For a hospital project, are the patients to be counted in the FTE for the bicycle storage and changing facilities?
I assume that these patients will not be riding their bikes to the hospital...
Thanks.

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?

I've been using all occupants per the NC guide to calculate the bike and changing facilities for our hospital projects. However, I've not had to submit for this credit since HC was formally adopted. Have you called the GBCI and asked them if you can use the HC standard? They will likely ask you why you don't move the project to HC.
