cyclists. These amenities are especially beneficial for those who may engage in exercise or other physical activities before work. Buildings with these facilities allow occupants to adopt active lifestyles, including active commuting, fostering a culture that values health and wellness.
Project teams are required to gather occupant information and determine the number of showers and changing facilities required using the below equation. Off-site showers and changing facilities are acceptable if they meet the needs of all occupants and are within 0.25miles (400 meters) walking distance. Teams must provide a vicinity or area map indicating offsite shower and changing facilities.
Equation 8. Calculating the number of showers and changing facilities
𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠= 𝑅𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠 × 0.01
For large-occupancy projects with regular building occupants up to 999, use Equation 9 to determine the number of showers and changing facilities required.
Equation 9. Calculating the number of shower and changing facilities for large occupancy up to 999
𝐼𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠≤100, 𝑆ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 f𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠= 1
𝐼𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠> 100, 𝑆ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠= 1 + [𝑅𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠−100]
150
For large-occupancy projects with an additional 1,000–4,999 regular building occupants, use Equation 10 to determine the number of showers and changing facilities required.
Equation 10. Calculating the number of showers and changing facilities for large occupancy 1000 or more
𝐼𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑏𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠 > 1000, 𝑆ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 f𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠
= 1 + [𝑅𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠−1000]
500
𝐼𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑏𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠 > 5000, 𝑆ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 f𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠
= 1 + [ 𝑅𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠−5000]

PATH 3. BICYCLE MAINTENANCE
Offering on-site bicycle maintenance services is a strategy to promote active commuting. Projects can make cycling a more convenient and reliable option for commuters by providing
