How many survey answers are required?

NC-2009 IEQc7.2:Thermal Comfort—Verification
posted by  Maria Porter  on 

I think this subject has been discussed before but I can’t find the answer. How many percent of building occupants must answer the survey for it to be a valid result?

Can we involve PPA's?

Schools-2009 EAc2:On-Site Renewable Energy
posted by  kerrie kannberg  on 

Is there any way to involve a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) or similar funding mechanism for EAc2? The language in the guide is not specific, as they mention a "energy system owner".

Hello, in my project there will be no irrigation at all because of the adapted plants plant in all the green roofs. How do we demonstrate the achievement of the credit?
