During the Performance Period

Both Options

The costs associated with staff time to conduct the survey and tabulate results will vary according to the size of your project building’s population.

Create a summary of the survey results for LEED documentation.

Tabulate the survey results and calculate the RCCT for your project building.

For guidance on conducting your occupant survey, refer to the Alternative Commuting Transportation Survey strategy.

If you have not sent out the initial survey yet, try to distribute it early in the performance period to give yourself enough time to implement changes to your commuting program if you’re not happy with the survey results.

If you conducted the initial survey within two years of the end of your LEED performance period and you’re happy with those results, you can document them now. If you’ve been implementing changes to your commuting incentive program, you can reassess the commuting levels by conducting another survey at any time within the two-year period preceding the end of the performance period.

Option 3: LEED-EBOM Occupant Commute Survey

This option is seldom pursued. Unless you are confident of the technical soundness of the local or regional program, it may be easier to document compliance via Option 3.

Typically, there are no fees associated with participation in an organized commute-reduction program; minimal staff-time costs may be incurred in the process of gathering data and completing required paperwork.
