FAQs about SSc4 :

The LEEDuser survey template asks for the occupant’s home zipcode. Some of our occupants won’t want to provide this sort of personal information. Do we have to collect this data?

The LEED Reference Guide says that the survey should not be announced in a way that might generate skewed responses or encourage unrepresentative behavior. We’ve been educating our occupants for several months on the LEED process. What should we do?

The LEED Reference Guide says that survey results can be extrapolated to all nonrespondents if the survey response rate is 80%, but I also saw this was true for a 60% response rate. Which is correct?

My project is a retail center. Do we need to survey shoppers? What about the retail employees?

My project is a hotel. Do we need to survey guests?

My project is an educational building on a university campus. Do we need to survey students?

The LEED Reference Guide says we need to account for seasonal variations in commuting behavior, but doesn’t offer any guidance on how to do this. What should I do?

EBOM-2009 SSc4:Alternative Commuting Transportation

Compressed workweek

If a significant number of employees at our facility are on a compressed workweek schedule, and we can verify these numbers from HR, do we still need to do a survey? Would this count as participation in a commute reduction program? The example detailed in the reference guide (Table 4) makes it seem that we could get points based on a compressed workweek program. Thank you.

Interesting question Jessica - I can certainly imagine a situation where if the ONLY trips you wanted to account for were those eliminated by a compressed workweek then you could document that without a survey under a 'special circumstances' type compliance path. I think a reviewer would very much want to see some kind of documentation verifying that employees actually adhere to the CWW schedule (and I'm honestly not completely sure what form that documentation would take) but it seems logical to me. Certainly you can get points based on CWW - 4 10 hour days eliminates a commute relative to 5 8 hour days by any measure. Dan
