I am considering using this on an LEED CI project and have the same question, does anyone have any feedback on this question?

I am in the documentation phase on a few projects which will utilize EBOM credits as ID credits in other rating systems. I have not submitted these to GBCI yet, however I will not be including a performance period. I explain this in the Special Circumstance section on the LEED form stating that a performance period does not apply. I suppose with that, I am implying that the measures will be in place "indefinitely" or at least as long as possible.

One of the biggest differences between NC/CI and EB is that many EB credits rely on performance criteria to gain approval. With EB 2012 now segmenting credits out into 'establishment' and 'performance' my suggestion would be that you provide an 'establishment' portion as the ID credit. If this was robust enough to be used in the long term by the target NC then GBCI should be able to provide direction in the first round of the review for your success.
