Is a signature required on the EBOM IEQ p3 policy? If so, would it be person assigned as Responsible party, like housekeeping manager, or would it be tenant? Is a signature required on all "policies" within LEED?

Janna, I would reference the resources in LEEDuser's Documentation Toolkit above to see the required elements of an IEQp3 policy. Offhand, I don't think a signature is one of them.

Hi Janna,
Signatures are not required by LEED for any policies (although some LEED Credit Forms do have a Required Signatory field, and IEQp3 is one of them).
This question raises an interesting point that some organizations have a member of senior management sign off on company policies when they're formally approved. When that's the case, it's worth thinking about whether following that internal procedure for your LEED policies makes sense as a way to reinforce the importance/legitimacy of your sustainability commitments. But from a LEED compliance perspective, its 100% up to the project team to decide if a signature on your policy documents provides any benefit or not.

Hi Tristan,
The EBOM guideline specifically directs users on using the LEED model for policies, which comprises Scope, Performance Metric, Goals, Procedures and Strategies, Responsible Party and Time Period. The template attached in the resources section above doesn't include a Strategy section. Is it acceptable to develop LEED policies without procedures and strategies sections, but to create a separated SOP which include this Procedures and Strategies section? Thank you.

Hi Geraldine, it’s definitely ok to create a separate SOP document and submit it as the required Procedures and Strategies section. The LEEDuser template doesn't call that section out specifically because its sort of woven in throughout the document wherever the green text indicates that a team should fill in specific details. Hope that helps!
