Where did the 7-point scale requirement come from? We have had our documentation questioned in reviews because we did not use this scale.

NC-2009 IEQc7.2:Thermal Comfort—Verification

Permanent Monitoring System = Surveys?

I was very surprised to see the following statement in the Missing Manual and in the above Bird's Eye View section, "LEED defines a permanent monitoring system as having regular, repeated comfort surveys distributed to the building occupants." I searched for this definition in LEED Addenda and Interpretations in hopes of finding additional guidance, but found nothing. Can you give us more details on when/where/how/from whom you received this information? I'd like to attempt this credit based on this definition of permanent monitoring system, but it seems a little sketchy since up until now we have been assuming that equipment must be installed to monitor thermal comfort.

Lisa, the definition of these systems has been a persistent question from LEED users, and it came up on a survey we recently distributed. So we asked GBCI, and the text you are asking about is a direct quote. I was surprised, too. I would suggest double-checking by contacting GBCI if you want to be really sure. And if you do that, please post back here.
