FAQs about IEQc2.1 :

What happens if there are many areas of occupant dissatisfaction that require corrective action? We might not have the time to address everything before we have to submit our LEED application.

What if the corrective action component of the credit is too costly for us? We don’t want to attempt this credit and then find out we’re not able to earn it because corrective action is too expensive.

We just completed the occupant survey, and the results are showing that many of the occupants are dissatisifed with the sound privacy. The primary reason is due to noise from other peoples' conversations or work. Does anyone have any experience on what type of action to take? I was thinking of posting signage as a reminder to the tenants to be respectful of other people working around them. Another option I was thinking of was to make the results from that question public, just to increase awareness that noise in those spaces is an issue. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thank you.

I think both of those options are very appropriate and very well may be sufficient. Other more structural/intensive options could be investing in a white noise system or installing sound absorbing panels or privacy partitions.
