After applying PC44 on a recent project and seeing the subsequent 2016 updates to the pilot credit language, I wanted to share some feedback.

Working with the previous "Ergonomics Strategy" requirements for a 2009 Commercial Interiors project, I was very pleased to have general design elements of the interior environment evaluated as part of the ergonomics strategy. Since many current employees (even computer users) are not fixed in their seats throughout the day, I appreciate that ergonomics factors beyond the traditional workstation were factored in to this credit pursuit. I am concerned that much of that prior language has now been removed in the current "Ergonomics Approach for Computer Users."

Under the previous version, I was surprised by the lack of clarity on the content or intent of the required sample follow up survey. Others have commented on the previously as well, and it is great to see context for this requirement now added into the recent revision.

Looking at the new focus on computer users, I can think of many project types or space functions, such as conference centers, sports venues and university buildings, that may not receive the full benefit of the strategy if they choose to focus only on the computer users within the project space or building. I would actually prefer to see this requirement expanded again, particularly for project types where computer users are not the primary use group within the project space.
