NC-2009 SSc4.2:Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms

Multiple Buildings: Distance from Showers to Building Entrance

We are using the Application Guide for Multiple Buildings (AGMB) to certify 4 buildings (Bldgs 1, 2, 3, & 4) as a Group. The showers and changing rooms are located in a fitness center within Building 3. My question is about where to start/stop measuring the walking distance. The walking distance between the entrance of Building 1 and the entrance of Building 3 is less than 200 yards. The walking distance between the entrance of Building 1 and the actual showers and changing rooms in Building 3 is just over 200 yards. Buildings 2 and 4 are within 200 yards of the showers and changing rooms. Based on previous LEEDUser posts, NCv2.2 accepted documentation, CIRs, and the AGMB, I think that it is acceptable to measure entrance to entrance, but haven’t found this exact language anywhere. Has anyone measured “entrance to entrance” for a similar LEEDv3 project and achieved the credit? Thank you!

Haven't heard of any more precise language than what you've found, so have the impression that "entrance to entrance" is the appropriate way to measure it. This might be worth emailing as a question to GBCI technical customer service - see the discusion at http://www.leeduser.com/blogs/gbci-invites-direct-inquiries-do-your-homework-first
