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?

Dear LEED Users, I have a 550,000 sf. multi-use commercial project where the main tenants are bank employees. With a total of 2000 FTEs, 1800 of the FTEs are bank employees. Currently, we are providing a total of 10 Showers. Six of the Showers (3 Men and 3 Women) are a part of a fitness gym in the building for the bank employees. The remainder are for restaurant employees and janitorial services. My question is, do the 1800 FTE Bank employees need dedicated 9 Showers or is the facility meeting the quotient from the shower count as a whole? Thanks in Advance, Greg

Hi Greg, You can meet the requirement with the shower count as a whole as long as they are all within the necessary proximity (same building obviously would work), and your FTEs have access to all the showers. The only hiccup I could forsee is if you have limited access to the gym showers (because you need membership or something).
