NC-2009 SSc4.2: Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms
I think I know the answer to this already, but I just wanted to throw it out there for confirmation. We're working on a 60 unit multi-family affordable housing project. The project has a management/leasing office with an FTE of 6, and a designated model unit that will not be leased out.
Can the model unit serve as the designated shower/changing facility for the management staff, or would a separate shower/changing room need to be provided?

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 would say maybe. My concern is that because it is a model unit that will need to be kept clean and shown to people, the staff won't have unimpeded access to it for showers/changing.
