Implement the plan for diverting durable goods from the solid waste stream. Divert at least 75% of the durable goods waste stream from the landfill to achieve this credit.
Implement the plan for diverting durable goods from the solid waste stream. Divert at least 75% of the durable goods waste stream from the landfill to achieve this credit. If you divert 95% you can earn an Exemplary Performance point through IOc1.

Walking distance must be measured from the main building entrance to the bus stop or rail station. This path must follow sidewalks and other walkable areas. Crossing highways, lawns or other private areas is not considered an acceptable part of pedestrian access.
For schools, calculate bike spaces for 5% of peak users above Grade 3, and showers for 0.5% of total staff and personnel FTE. Make sure to include dedicated and unobstructed bike paths from the edge of school property to main school entrances in at least
For schools, calculate bike spaces for 5% of peak users above Grade 3, and showers for 0.5% of total staff and personnel FTE. Make sure to include dedicated and unobstructed bike paths from the edge of school property to main school entrances in at least two directions in the project design.
For Core and Shell projects that are larger than 300,000 ft2, an allowance is the square footage over 300,000 is treated differently. Establish what percentage of the building square footage is over 300,000 ft2 and provide bike racks for 0.5% of the corre
For Core and Shell projects that are larger than 300,000 ft2, an allowance is the square footage over 300,000 is treated differently. Establish what percentage of the building square footage is over 300,000 ft2 and provide bike racks for 0.5% of the corresponding portion of the total FTE. Establish what percentage of the building is under 300,000 ft2 and provide bike racks for 3% of the corresponding portion of the FTE. So, in a 400,000-ft2 core and shell project, provide racks for 3% of 75% of FTE occupants plus bike racks for 0.5% of 25% of FTE occupants.
For CS projects that don’t know occupancy numbers, use the default occupancy rates found in the LEED Reference Guide, Appendix 1.
