We are working on the achievement of credit points under SSc4 under v2009. My project building is operating for 24 hours. There are two shifts of operation and one general shift (8:30 a.m to 5:30 p.m). We conducted the survey compliant with SCAQMD guidelines for general shift employees. We know 85% of the respondents use van pool facility/public transportation and remaining 15% respondent use individual vehicle.
We calculated the AVR (7.9) & RCCT (87%) as per the Example # 4 given in page 30 of LEED ref guide for green building O&M – 2009 edition. I would like to know if we are still eligible to achieve maximum 15 points.
Thank you for any assistance!

My project building has 593 regular occupants. The survey was conducted over 5 consecutive workdays (i.e. Monday through Friday). Each surveyed employee signed the survey sheet and marked the transportation mode used to travel to the building in all shifts on each of those 5 days. Response rate is 100% of the regular building occupants & there are no absentees.
Almost 518 commute using the pooling facility the number of weekly commute trips would be 5,180 per week (518 occupants x 2 trips per day x 5 days per week). Occupants use single-occupant vehicles to travel to work make 750 trips to and from the building each week (75 occupants x 2 trips per day x 5 days per week). We have calculated the RCCT is 87%. In this instance the AVR is 7.9
Is this correct?

The RCCT seems right and you're meeting the requirement to earn the maximum number of points under the credit.
