FAQs about SSc4.2:
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?

Martin, I would have to double-check if this applies to NC 2.2 (it probably does), but in LEED 2009 there are two factors that apply to this credit, a) # of building users at peak periods, and b) FTE.
You're supposed to use FTE to determine the number of showers provided — so use the largest volume shift for that. For the bike racks, the measurement of users at peak periods would probably need to factor in a higher volume of users at shift overlaps. This number is quite likely higher than FTE.

I have never seen any requirement that the shift change would need to be factored in, as this could double the storage capacity required. I agree with Tristan about how the FTE is likely applied.

I actually received a Review comment on a v2.2 project regarding shift changes. The Reviewer stated that bike racks also need to provide space for the shift coming on while the other shifts are still working. So, the 2 shifts that work back-to-back need to be combined and use that number. I used a different methodology of using the largest shift, plus 1/2 of the oncoming shift. The Reviewer said that approach wasn't acceptable.
