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?

The project consists of one floor of offices located within a building of 12 floors. There will be dedicated cycle storage for the CI project only but showers will not be dedicated to the CI project only anb will be available for the entire building. Can the team still document compliance if the number of showers are enough for the CI project ?

The number of showers would need to be .5% of the total building FTE if they are shared by all building occupants.

The reference manual clearly states "shower and changing rooms can be provided by health club memberships if htose facilities are provided free of charge and if sufficient shower and changing facilities are available to satisfy the credit requirements of .5% of the tenant FTE. A minimum of a 2-year contract is required between teh tenant and the health club". ............Doesn't that say that you can use .5% of the tenant FTE, and not the whole buliding?

Stacey, I think the health club situation you are referring to, and the situation shared by MM are different. The health club would be responsible for making sure that it has enough capacity for its memberships. The LEED project just has to get enough memberships for the tenant population.
