Survey in Winter

Hi Trista, thanks for your response. I had read the FAQ about averaging before our initial submission and the reviewer came back with the below comment, which leads me to the conclusion that the averaging strategy is not allowed. Any thoughts? We are about to submit for our final review and will lose some points if we can't average and have to submit our winter results. We couldn't redo the survey this fall because the election season impacted our normal occupancy. Thanks! Reviewer note: "The survey timing does not appear to have occurred according to the methodology described in the Calculations section of SSc4 in the LEED-EB O+M v2009 Reference Guide. The final reduction was calculated through an average of two different surveys taken several months apart. Per the Calculations section of SSc4 in the LEED-EB O+M v2009 Reference Guide, project teams should conduct the survey during a typical workweek and at a time of year that accurately reflects seasonal variation in commute behavior. Spring and fall are recommended, rather than seasons with extreme weather. Provide revised results from a single survey that is conducted each day over five consecutive work days or at the conclusion of five consecutive work days. If necessary, a new survey can be conducted."
