A portion of our building is office space and a portion is multi-family senior residences. The alternative commuting survey guidance seems to refer to, and make sense to, implementation for the office employees only. Am I correct that only those commuting to the building for work must be surveyed, and that the residents of the multi-family section do not need to be surveyed (as they are not commuting - they live here!)? Thanks, Miranda

Hi Miranda, residents that commute should be included in the survey according to LEED Interpretation 100001166 (http://www.usgbc.org/leed-interpretations?keys=100001166).
However, I think residential non-commuters (retirees, for example) should be excluded entirely from the population of regular occupants for the purposes of the survey. This is described in the EBOM v4 Reference Guide in the "Project Type Variations" section of LTc1, and should be applicable for a v2009 project as well.
