According to the TEMPORARY GUIDANCE FOR RECERTIFICATION UNDER LEED for EXISTING BUILDINGS: OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE published by GBCI on 10/05/2010 at point C) it is stated that: "One-time assessments required for certain credits (occupant survey, transportation survey, outdoor air measurements, waste audit, etc.) do not have to be conducted again if they occurred within 24 months before end of the recertification performance period".
Can you confirm this applies to the following credits? Any other?
- SSc4 Occupant Commute Survey
- WEp1 (measuring actual flow rate)
- EAp1 ASHRAE Level I Energy Audit
- EAc2.1 ASHRAE Level II Energy Audit
- MRc6 Waste Stream Audit
- IEQc2.1 Occupant Comfort Survey
- IEQc2.3 Thermal Comfort Monitoring
- IEQc3.2 Custodial Effectiveness Assessment
Thanks!

I can't formally confirm any of the above, but I certainly think it is a lock for SSc4. The recert guidance simply carries over the idea of a 2-year maximum performance period to recertification - that logic would seem to extend to most of the credits you've listed (although I'm not sure its true for WEp1 or EQc2.3.)
