FAQs about SSc4.2 :

Our building is mostly residential. Must we provide showers and changing rooms for the nonresidential portion?

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?

Based on my FTE calculations, I am only required to provide 1 shower to meet this requirement. Since both males and females will have access to this one shower, and it will be in a single room, does this satisfy the credit requirements? Can I use an exist

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

My project type serves visitors who can reasonably be expected to not be using bikes, e.g. hotel, airport, assisted living facility. Can I exclude them from bike rack requirements?

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?

Two questions for two projects: 1) If there are many hundred secure bicycle racks just outside the building, outside of the zero-lot-line LEED boundary, none of them especially dedicated for the project but definitely available – do they comply? 2) For a nursing home (for elderly and sick), do the residents there count as residential and have to have 15 % bicycle parking spaces? They will obviously not be able to bike! Or is it sufficient to calculate on 5 % on FTE only? Thank you!

Regarding #2 - patients are excluded from the bicycle parking requirements. Staff and visitors, however, must be included.
