This blog was created to fill the void of knowledge about all the little things that can make the LEED process frustrating. While I'm still learning, I routinely work on these issues and wanted to share what I've discovered in the hopes of making the LEED system more efficient, easier to use, and effective for everyone!

Oh man. This shit totally gets me off.
I'm working on a LEED-CS v2.0 project and when I type in the FTE information in the SSc4.2 Alternative Transportation: Bicycle Storage & Changing Rooms - Option 2, I get all sorts of wonkiness.
I have a 320,000 SF building with a total FTE of 1482. This breaks down into 1389 being allocated to the first 300,000 SF and 93 being allocated to the remaining 20,000SF. When I do the calcs I get 7.4 showers and 42.14 Bike storage spaces. Using the rounding up rule of LEED presented in this post, I would assume the template would have spit out 8 showers and 43 bike storage spaces. Instead it spit out - 7 showers and 45 bike storage spaces!!!! It is enough to make you think you are going crazy.
If anyone re-runs this calc and finds that I am making (most likely an excel error). Please let me know!
thanks!
