Thermal Comfort Survey Software

We typically just create our own for free using Survey Monkey or something similar.

It's possible to create your own as Allison says, but we also recommend the UC Berkeley Center for the Building Environment survey that you found. It's discussed in more detail in the Bird's Eye View tab, and the Checklists tab, above.

I strongly recommend against asking the owner to spend more money on the Berkeley survey. Searching online offers good examples of survey formats and subject, and also how to ask the questions. As your owner's LEED consultant you are most valuable to them if you prepare a survey for them to edit and use.

Just to recap (from above), there is a strong value for LEED consultants to use the Berkeley survey; the biggest reason is comparison to a larger building stock (including many other LEED certified buildings). Full disclosure, I used to work for the Berkeley folks who run the survey. So I'm biased, but so are many who run POE surveys a lot- you learn so much more if you have a benchmark to compare to. Also, the Berkeley survey is editable. And you're making a contribution to ongoing academic research and education on green buildings. And you could make your project eligible for the Livable Buildings Award, if your scores are high enough. I could go on. Making and running your own survey is definitely better than not, but I just wanted to give the perspective on why many teams decide to pay (a relatively small amount!) for a more thorough and insightful POE experience.

I have to agree with Lindsay above (Full disclosure - my company is a CBE practice partner, so I am biased as well) - although it is very simple to come up with a survey that meets the LEED requirement, the value of the CBE survey is what you do with the data - they offer a level of evaluation and statistical analysis that many clients (and LEED consultants or design professionals) are not experienced with performing.
