CI-2009 SSc3.2: Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms
How can I proceed with the credit SS 3.2 for a LEED CI v2.0, when the Tenant FTE exceed the number of FTE default calculation (total sf/250sf) for the Certified Core and Shell v2.2 Building, which this CI occupies? The CS building FTE results in 1298 when the tenant are reating about 12 floors with a FTE of 1760.
Can I persue the SS 3.2 for this LEED CI case, considering the inability to install more racks at the building?
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?

Paola, you can pursue the credit, but you'll have to have bike racks sufficient for your FTE today, not the CS design. It sounds like you may not be able to earn the credit under these conditions, unfortunately.
