Ventilation (*1) • Natural ventilation is most efficient and therefore if possible should be used — in open-sided car park (openings minimum 35% of wall, maximum distance be- tween opposite walls with openings of 100m). • Mechanical ventilation controlled by carbon dioxide and butane/propane detectors (in underground or other enclosed car parks serving more than 10 cars).

BREEAM: •

Cycle storage — 1 space per 10 regular building occupants,

• Shower facilities — 1 per 10 cycle storage spaces, subject to a minimum provision of 1 show- er. Any building providing eight showers or more complies regardless of the number of cycle storage spaces provided,

• Changing facilities — 1 locker per 1 cycle space. Lockers are in or adjacent to changing room,

Fire safety (*1) •

Car park fire zone size, smoke detection, smoke extract, means of escape provision and connection between car park and building should be designed to meet Building Regulations requirements.

LEED: •

Cycle storage — long-term cycle parking for 5% of regular building occupants but not fewer than four spaces per building, short-term cycle parking for 2,5% of peak visitors but not bur than four spaces per building,

Car park loading • General 2.5–3.0 kN/ sq m. May vary if other vehicles will be allowed to access the car park.

• Shower with changing facilities — 1 for first 100 regular building occupants and 1 per every 150 regular building occupants thereafter.

B) ACTIVE TRAVELERS

WELL: •

Cycle storage — for 5% of regular building occupants,

Cycling is becoming more important in the cities. There will be more protected bikeways and more people will start cycling to work. To have future proof office buildings, provision- ing for active transport is a must-have. Apart of growing need for cycle spaces there is an increasing demand for showers and lock- ers, not just for cyclists but also for other active travelers. The building should also provide a repair station for bikes. There are no fixed requirements for bikes pro- vision in Poland. Various cities have various parameters which all seems to fall behind mar- ket trends and needs. For example in Warsaw

Studium recommends 10 cycle spaces / 100 car park spaces (!) while London Plan requires 1 cycle space / 75 sq m of GEA. This makes huge difference in cycle store provision, and what is more important is not dependent of car parking provision. Factors provided below are recommenda- tions which should be considered at the de- sign stage. Car park spaces can always be removed and replaced by some more cycle spaces (depending on Zoning Plan / WZ De- cision requirements) or replaced with two-tier cycle racks if demand will change in the fu- ture, more difficult will be to add extra showers and other facilities.

• Shower facilities — 1 for first 100 regular building occupants and 1 per every 150 regular building occupants thereafter up to 999 occupants, above it 8 plus 1 per 500 regular building occupants above 1000 up to 4999 occupants, above it 16 plus 1 per 1000 regular building occupants above 5000.

• Changing facilities — 5 lockers per 1 shower. Lockers are co-located with shower facilities,

The most restrictive are the BREEAM requirements, while in the case of LEED and WELL the require- ments are approximately half that. As BREEAM standards proved to be the most commonly used meet- ing its requirement should be targeted for.
