FAQs about IEQc2.1 :

What happens if there are many areas of occupant dissatisfaction that require corrective action? We might not have the time to address everything before we have to submit our LEED application.

What if the corrective action component of the credit is too costly for us? We don’t want to attempt this credit and then find out we’re not able to earn it because corrective action is too expensive.

EBOM-2009 IEQc2.1:Occupant Comfort—Occupant Survey

Sampling Methods

I see that we need to collect responses from a "representative" sample of building occupants making up at least 30% of the total occupants. I'm wondering if this means we have to do some sort of random sample to select 30% of the occupants and then make sure 100% of those selected answer OR if it's ok to just send the survey to 100% of the building occupants and allow for some self selection in the 30% of the whole building that respond. Thanks.

Emily- it's perfectly fine to distribute the survey to everyone, and I would recommend that you do so that you get the highest number of returned surveys as possible. Sometimes it is difficult to get enough back!

I agree with Allison and would just note that you may want to review your data for unusual clusters of responses - significant portions of the building that are over- or under-represented can generate misleading outcomes. If you have 3 tenants and all your respondents come from one of them, or 3 floors of the building and all the responses are from that floor, the reviewer may be concerned you're not getting the whole picture in terms of occupant comfort. Hope that helps, Dan
