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?

Hi LEED User team, We´re working on a CI project that is build on a CS pre-certified building (the building is not finished yet). The building will have 58 racks (The minimum was 22 racks but the project team decide use 58). The racks are for public use on the building (Not a public racks for every one that works in the area, only for the building workers and visitors). The project will have in peak period 128 persons. So we need 7 racks to achieve the credit (5% FTE). How can i document that in the form?. Using the 58 racks or 7 racks. I´m confused because the guide says when the capacity cannot be reserved for a specific tenant space i must use the complete building population. And the project don't have a reserved space in the racks, so everybody (worker or visitor) can use the rack who wants to use. Best, José Ng

José, I think you summed it up well. Since rack space cannot be reserved for tenants of your specific space, the number of racks must be sufficient to show compliance with the credit for the building as a whole. You can document this in the LEED Online form, explaining the circumstances in your narrative.
