Cost estimates for this credit
On each BD+C v4 credit, LEEDuser offers the wisdom of a team of architects, engineers, cost estimators, and LEED experts with hundreds of LEED projects between then. They analyzed the sustainable design strategies associated with each LEED credit, but also to assign actual costs to those strategies.
Our tab contains overall cost guidance, notes on what “soft costs” to expect, and a strategy-by-strategy breakdown of what to consider and what it might cost, in percentage premiums, actual costs, or both.
This information is also available in a full PDF download in The Cost of LEED v4 report.

LEED Interpretation
Description of change:
Inquiry:
May a mixed-use project where 90% or more of the gross floor area is comprised of residential spaces be exempted from the shower and changing area requirements of SSc4.2 since most of the occupants would be residents and would have showers in their units?
Ruling:
If the total nonresidential square footage of a mixed-use building is less than 10% and no greater than 5,000 square feet, it is acceptable for the nonresidential use to be excluded from the shower requirements for SSc4.2: Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms. However, each use component of the building must still comply with the bicycle storage requirements of this credit.
Campus Applicable
