How long would a building need to be occupied before a Custodial Effectiveness Assessment was performed in order to earn an ID point in NCv2009?

Sheryl, I'm not aware of any well-established rule on this issue. I would suggest three months, simply because that is the length of many EBOM performance periods. Not that that is relevant here, but in the LEED world, three months seems to be considered long enough to establish a pattern of occupancy.

The IEQc3.2 Custodial Effectiveness Assessment is not listed as an allowable credit for use in LEED NC 2009 projects, according to the LEED Project Submittal Tips document.
Have people been able to use IEQc3.2 on NC projects? I am a little confused why it is excluded from the list published by the USGBC.

I asked this question of GBCI and received the following response: "This is a performance element of an EBO&M credit, it is not applicable to any BD+C or ID+C projects. The only way to receive and innovation in design credit in this category is to show compliance with IEQp3, which is the green cleaning policy."
