Hello,
The Staff would more likely participate in a survey that is only two pages like the LEEDuser Sample of an accepted survey as opposed to the Template offered in the Toolkit. Is this really acceptable? It seems like the LEEDuser Template might be overkill, however, we need the credit and do not want to use something that will be rejected. Basically, theLEEDuser Sample has a list with a scale from -3 to +3 that looks like this:
Satisfied Mostly Satisfied Somewhat Satisfied Neutral Somewhat Dissatisfied Mostly Dissatisfied Very Dissatisfied
3 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3
Section 1 – Background information.
Section 2 – Current thermal conditions in your space
Section 3 – Thermal conditions in your space during the winter months
Section 4 – Thermal conditions in your space during the summer months.
Section 5 – Acoustical conditions in your space.
Section 6 – Lighting conditions in your space.
Section 7 – Air quality in your space.
Section 8 – Cleanliness / maintenance in your space and the general building.
Section 9 – Overall satisfaction with building performance.
The last section is a box for additional comments.
Thanks in advance for your help!

HI Michelle,
Very accurate observation - it is much more detailed than one might stand to fill out, infringing on your opportunity to get more responses. Lets face it - people hate surveys, and you need responses! The less time it takes to complete one, the more likely they are to actually do it! My observations:
My survey is only 1 page, and may be compressed to a half a page and leaves a very open ended section for those comments addressing negative feedback - as it should. After many reviews of using tried and tested methodology - it has never once been subjected to denial, but I will leave this for others to comment about as well.
I hope this is helpful, it was a great question - glad to be part of the conversation!

Hello Levi,
I will ask the staff to complete the sample version as it is much shorter and the response rate will be better. In addition to the topics you mention as included in yours, I will add 'Overall satisfaction with building performance' as it seems the GBCI team rejected a survey that did not include this question.
Thank you for your comments!
Best,
Michelle
