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?

If you survey building with 3000 multi-tenants, the individuals absent or on jury duty or telecommuting cannot fill out the response. Do you go with National Labor Statistics? Since if some one is absent, they cannot give you their transportation status. Your thoughts on my dilemma.

Saum, the LEEDuser guidance above, as well as the LEED reference guide, provide a pretty good guide to how the deal with the survey. Absences are an issue in any building, of course.
