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

EBOM Recertificaton - one time assessments

According to the TEMPORARY GUIDANCE FOR RECERTIFICATION UNDER LEED for EXISTING BUILDINGS: OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE published by GBCI on 10/05/2010 at point C) it is stated that: "One-time assessments required for certain credits (occupant survey, transportation survey, outdoor air measurements, waste audit, etc.) do not have to be conducted again if they occurred within 24 months before end of the recertification performance period". Can you confirm this applies to the following credits? Any other? - SSc4 Occupant Commute Survey - WEp1 (measuring actual flow rate) - EAp1 ASHRAE Level I Energy Audit - EAc2.1 ASHRAE Level II Energy Audit - MRc6 Waste Stream Audit - IEQc2.1 Occupant Comfort Survey - IEQc2.3 Thermal Comfort Monitoring - IEQc3.2 Custodial Effectiveness Assessment Thanks!

I can't formally confirm any of the above, but I certainly think it is a lock for SSc4. The recert guidance simply carries over the idea of a 2-year maximum performance period to recertification - that logic would seem to extend to most of the credits you've listed (although I'm not sure its true for WEp1 or EQc2.3.)
