On PI Form 3 under complex occupancy it asks you to upload PIf3-1. Is there a form provided for this or do we create our own?
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

Additional information to the question above: Complex Occupnacy does not show up until you check the box "Actual, historical and/or projected project occupancy does not include nonstandard occupancy patterns."
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I'm working on this too, and it seems like we need to create our own spreadsheet. I'm going to re-create the table from the 'simple occupancy' option in a new excel file and add additional rows to include my extended hours that are consistent with the BOP (we have some floors open for night classes). Sum total 'person-hours', divide by 8, to get FTE.
ie. If 50 people occupy building for 10 hours, than LEED FTE =62.
HOWEVER, my HUGE concern is that this number no longer matches the Energy Star SEP,which reviewers seems to take as the absolute measurement for the entire project! Because my complex occupancy calculation takes into consideration visitors and 'default' occupants for vacant spaces.
This LEED FTE does not accurately reflect the amount of 'real' people who will use restrooms or require hvac, so I'm not sure why I just did this.
Frankly, I have received more comments on this form than any other credit or prerequisite and none of the information seems relevant to LEED performance. Any suggestions on the best way to give feedback on these forms so that they are more user friendly in the next version of LEED? beyond the obvious 'feedback' button on LO.
are there any reviewers on this forum who can tell us why this form is so important if the data is totally false and not based in REALITY?

Does Plf3-1 exist?
Does a sample?
