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?

Security Fence Entry the Main Building Entrance?

Our project is located at a large airport. The building is surrounded by tall fencing and all employees must enter by foot through the security entrance, which is at the parking lot adjacent to the building. No cars or bikes can go through the security gate. Since the security entrance is a forced point of entry, would this be considered our main building entrance? Thank you.

Mary, interesting situation. That sounds like a reasonable accommodation for this project type, but I'd want to get GBCI approval, as they might not approve it.

Mary, could you tell us if your approch regarding treating fence gate as a main building entrance was accepted by GBCI? I have a similar problem on my project and would appreciate your feedback.
