FAQs about SSc3.2 :

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?

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?

Our building is mostly residential. Must we provide showers and changing rooms for the nonresidential portion?

LEED CI inside a LEED C&S certified building

We are dealing with a Commercial Interior Project, which is located inside a LEED C&S certified building. Regarding the credit SSc3.2, the attendance of the LEED C&S building (SSc4.2) does not guarantee compliance in the LEED CI once the methodology used to determine each number of racks use a different percentage (3% of the occupants for up to 300,00sf and an additional 0,5% for the occupants over 300,000sf for LEED CS vs. 5% or more of tenant occupants for LEED CI) which using the same occupancy will retrieve obviously different quantities, not being able to use the provided rack from the C&S building?

Cinthia, Not sure if I understand your question - is your CI project over 300,000 sf? Or is it a smaller project in a large CS building? A CI project in a CS certified building can use the same racks that were counted for the Core and Shell certification. Those racks are meant to serve the future tenants who occupy the building, which would include your CI project. A CI project can be very large, especially if it occupies the whole building. Its possible that 5% of the CI occupants comes out as more people than the 3% plus 0.5% method calculated for the original Core and Shell building. In that case you might need to add some racks in addition to the ones already built. Does that answer your question?
