Most of the documentation time was spent on creating tool and survey templates. A recommendation for the USGBC is to provide templates and forms under Credit Resources for future project teams.
During design development phase, ask the manufacturers of Workstations and Task Chairs to show how their products compare to the ergonomic standards. Our team found that BIFMA G1-2002 and ANSI 100-2007 standards were more commonly found in task chair product literature and brochures vs. workstations product literature. Other reference standards were not identified at all in any product brochures
Select best products using the products comparison to the ergonomic standards. And then use it as an LEED Documentation exhibit.

In response to Kristin's post, it can be very time consuming to develop the survey, but there are some established tools out there. Definitely check out the website for Cornell University's Human Factors and Ergonomics Research Group (CHFERG), directed by Professor Alan Hedge.

Are project teams expected to create completely new user feedback surveys - or is it allowable to use existing surveys - like those provided by Cornell University - so long as they are applicable to the project's specific user groups and activities?
