FAQs about SSc4 :

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?

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?

Survey for a religious association

My customer is a religious association, that want's to certify their own building. The building is only used on Saturday by the members of the assotiation. There are no FTEs. Is it enough to survey all members only for that one day of the week. As all occupants are visitors I can't ask for days of absence, compressed workweek, etc. I will only ask for how they got there on that single day. Is that the right way?

Ralf, pay attention to the Minimum Project Requirements, since section 5 requires existing building to have at least 1 annualized FTE occupant.

Jeann, while MPR5 calls for at least 1 FTE, it doesn't prevent LEED certification—only earning of IEQ credits.
