I have heard people talk about parking someone in the lobby of a similar project for a period of time to count people. The difficulty with any formulas is the level of variation you could see, for so many reasons. Picking another project nearby with a similar population may be more reliable.

On the new LEED PI Form 3 for NC It says not to list residents in the FTE category. Does that mean that a resident does not have an FTE?

There's a place to enter a value for the number of residents below Table PIf3.3 labeled "Total number of residents." It might be on the second page of the form, so it's easy to miss. This value gets carried over to forms such as WEp1 in the column for "Residents." Does that answer your question?

I have the same question as Michael. I'm working on a dormitory building. On Pl Form 3, do you enter "0" in the FTE table and simply enter the number of residents in the "Total number of residents" entry box?

I am also working on a dormitory and would like to know how to calculate the number of transients that should be considered for this project type. I have not found any guidance on how to estimate this. Our occupancy counts for our design submittal included FTEs (Staff) and Residents, but no transients. Our review team commented that we needed to include transients in the occupancy count. Any advice would be appreciated!
