As part of the requirements for this pilot credit, we are noting our participation in the Forum. One of the questions listed asks about the number of meetings (i.e. 6 required) and thoughts on appropriateness and effectiveness. In our experience, it is project dependent. For our project, which is a new certification, our performance period is 3 months. Having 6 meetings in this timeframe is not appropriate or effective. However, during those 3 months, and during the 2 months between the end of the PP and the "push the button" date, the team has maintained daily correspondence as information is flowing back and forth between us as the LEED Admin and the Owner. While 6 in-person / face to face meetings would not be conducive for a 3 month PP, 2 meetings (kick-off and progress) would be sufficient as long as the team commits to daily and ongoing correspondence.

Hi, please refer to the updated credit requrements. According to the requrements of this credit, the team members must be present at each of the three follow IPP workshops, which including project visioning workshop, LEED credit evaluation workshop, and pre-performance phase workshop. During at least three different workshops spaced evenly throughout the performance phase, with no fewer than three workshops in any 12 month period, the IP Team must meet to review data collected during the performance phase, evaluate procedural and policy language changes, communication protocols for occupants that are positively or negatively impacting the performance of the project, and next steps to improve/maintain/exceed performance expectations.

As part of the requirements for this pilot credit, we are noting our participation in the Forum. I would agree that the number of meetings is very project specific. For our project, we've been working with many of the same team members on over 5 EB certifications over the past year, and the team is very knowledgeable and efficient. Therefore, we needed more meetings during the first EB cert than we did for this one. While we still met all credit requirements, I think time could have been spent better in other areas.
