You have to do one between 6 and 18 months after occupancy per the credit language. If projects are doing Enhanced Commissioning, most teams align this survey with that credit work as the survey can inform the commissioning.

The form now says you have to confirm there is a "permanent" monitoring system. Based on feedback in this forum and from leedinfo@usgbc.org I understand that the surveys now have to be done on a "regular, ongoing basis" which I interpret to be every 6-12 months.

In the reference guide this is an additional credit requirement for LEED-NC projects only and the "permanent" monitoring system referenced on the form is to monitor the building performance (e.g. actual space temperature and relative humidity). This requirement ensures that the building has the necessary tools to help identify the source of occupant discomfort.

I got an email from GBCI confirming that regular, repeated surveys count as permanent monitoring.
