Green Star FAQs
Can showers in accessible bathrooms be counted towards End of Trip facilities?
No. Showers which are located in statutorily required accessible bathrooms cannot be claimed in the count for shower facilities. This is because their use may block access to statutorily required accessible bathrooms.
For example, if a building has statutory requirements to install two (2) accessible toilets and no showers, and two combined shower and toilet facilities are provided, these do not count towards the credit requirements, because using the shower would block access to the accessible toilet.
However, if extra accessible showers/bathrooms are provided, that are not required statutorily, these can be counted towards the credit requirements.
