FAQs about SSc3.2 :

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?

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

CI-2009 SSc3.2:Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms

Bicycle Racks and Shower Rooms in Multi-Occupant Building

Our project is for an office tenant located on one floor of a 23 story building. The bicycle racks and shower rooms are available for the tenant's use, however, neither are part of the project, they belong to the main building. Can we still try for this credit? Our FTE number is only a fraction of the overall FTE of the building. Thanks!

Lisa, yes, you can count this if there is enough space, and if the space is guaranteed or allocated in some way, and if they otherwise meet the credit requirements for proximity, etc.

Does "guaranteed and allocated" mean they would need to be expressly reserved for this tenant specifically? I ran into this with the alternative transportation/parking - the parking spaces for green vehicles are not "reserved" specifically for our employees.

Lisa, the issue is that if there aren't enough spaces for the overall building demand, then even if there are enough spaces to satisfy the tenant space on paper, it won't work in practice. This is what you need to address.One way to do that is to show that there is enough space for the whole building, based on LEED requirements. Another way is to have facilities designated for the tenant space in some way. Maybe there are other ways, but that's what I've seen.
