FAQs about SSc4 :

My project is a retail center. Do we need to survey shoppers? What about the retail employees?

My project is a hotel. Do we need to survey guests?

My project is an educational building on a university campus. Do we need to survey students?

The LEED Reference Guide says we need to account for seasonal variations in commuting behavior, but doesn’t offer any guidance on how to do this. What should I do?

The LEEDuser survey template asks for the occupant’s home zipcode. Some of our occupants won’t want to provide this sort of personal information. Do we have to collect this data?

The LEED Reference Guide says that the survey should not be announced in a way that might generate skewed responses or encourage unrepresentative behavior. We’ve been educating our occupants for several months on the LEED process. What should we do?

The LEED Reference Guide says that survey results can be extrapolated to all nonrespondents if the survey response rate is 80%, but I also saw this was true for a 60% response rate. Which is correct?

I have been unable to input data into the provided survey results calculator. After putting in my values for "regular building occupants", I choose approach 1 and try to input the same total number of regular building occupants for "regular building occupants who recieved the survey" but get an error that says, "the number of FTE occupants who recieved the survey is greater than the total number of FTE occupants in the building". Similar errors continue to happen if I skip this section and got to the rest of the form. Am I doing this wrong? Could the format of the excel file have changed when I saved it to my version (2010)? Does anyone have a suggestion on how to use this spreadsheet correctly? Thanks!

Heather, I had the same problem when testing it, and I didn't save the spreadsheet. I don't think you're doing it wrong, based on the instructions in Step 1 under the Help tab of the spreadsheet. It may be an issue that needs to be addressed by the author.

Heather, I'm sorry for the difficulty here. I'm looking into this.
