LEED NC v2.2 is not as specific as LEED for Schools v3 for the FTE in schools. It seems that for different credits, different FTEs may be reasonable in this building type. First: SSc4.2 > For bicycles racks I chose to follow LEED for Schools v3 calculations where students from kinder to 3rd grade are not expected to use bikes and are excluded from calculations. Second: WEc2&c3 > For potable water consumption LEED NC v2.2 clearly states students as transients that have less daily uses than FTEs. It seems to me that these students that are from 8:00am to 2:00pm will have the same daily uses than a full time occupant. Questions. 1. Is my FTE calculation for SSc4.2 reasonable? 2. Should I leave the students as transient or as full time? THANKS
