CI-2009 SSc3.2: Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms
Our bicycle storage is shared with other tenants in the building, so we need to determine FTE and peak transients for the entire building.
FTE and daily visitors can be estimated based on default occupancy counts found in the LEED reference guide, but how would I go about estimating peak visitors? The spaces outside of our project include office, restaurant, and retail. 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'm not aware of a set process for this. If it's an existing project you can do some kind of survey or measurement of the other tenants. If not, you could look at similar spaces elsewhere, or perhaps talk with the future tenants. You simply have to come up with a defensible proces that's not an extreme amount of effort.
