EBOM-v4.1 LTp1: Transportation Performance Required

Under Requirements, delete "The required number of responses that must be received is outlined in Figure 1."

Edit the third and fourth paragraphs to read as:
"Conduct the survey at least once per year, using the required survey methodology outlined in the LEED v4.1 O+M beta guide. Use the survey results to calculate a transportation performance score for the project.

For initial certification, obtain a minimum transportation performance score of 40. Additional points for this prerequisite are awarded for transportation performance scores above 40, according to Table 1. "

Add "for initial certification" to each of the required values in Table 1.

Delete Figure 1. Required Responses Rate for Survey and "Equation: Response rate= 100 * (0.25 / square root (occupancy / 500))

In item 1 under "An emissions value is calculated....", replace "the CO2e per mile values in Table 2" with "transportation emissions factors"

Under Equation 1, add the following text as a new paragraph:
"The transportation greenhouse gas emission factors use the latest U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Emission Factors Hub for CO2e lbs. per occupant mile coefficients and are kept up to date with U.S. EPA release updates."

Delete Table 2.

Delete "in the system" from the second paragraph.

Revise first sentence under Step by Step, Step 1, to read as: "Administer a transportation survey for the building using the below survey methodology.

Add "Survey Methodology" as a title, and revise the bullets to read as:

- Conduct the survey in the Arc/LEED Online platform or via an alternative method. If conducting the survey outside of the Arc/LEED Online platform, submit an inquiry to https://www.gbci.org/contact prior to conducting the survey for pre-approval.
- The survey may be conducted at any time in the year, but once per season is encouraged.
- The available transportation survey responses include:
o Active transportation: walk, bike, e-bike, e-scooter/other micromobility
o Public transit: bus, light rail (trolley, tram, or streetcar), heavy rail (subway/metro), commuter/regional rail, intercity rail, ferry boat
o Carpool/vanpool: carpool (2-3 people), vanpool
o Drove alone: internal combustion engine (ICE), hybrid (milk or PHEV), battery electric vehicle (BEV)
o Telework: telework
- For employee surveys, decide who should be included in the surveying. Only include employees who are assigned to the Project as their primary place of work, i.e., the employee works at the project’s location at least one day per five-day work week, on average. Do not include employees who are assigned to other locations or are permanently remote.
- Decide whether visitors will be included in the survey. While not required, it is recommended to include visitors if the daily average number of visitors are greater than the number of building occupants. See the Definitions for more information on defining and calculating visitors and regular building occupants.
- Check the survey response data for any anomalous responses, such as unrealistically high or low travel distances. Submit an inquiry to https://www.gbci.org/contact prior to submitting for review to request the removal of anomalous responses in Arc/LEED Online.

Under Step 2, replace "the rating system" with "Figure 1" and add Figure 1 diagram.

Revise Step 3 to read as:
"A transportation performance score will generate for your project once survey response data is entered into Arc/LEED Online and a minimum survey response rate is achieved.
If conducting the survey outside of the Arc/LEED Online platform, contact us at https://www.gbci.org/contact for data upload instructions."

Revise Required Documentation to read as:
- Completed transportation survey including survey dates, occupant type, travel method, travel distance, and frequency for each mode.
- If the survey is completed outside of Arc/LEED Online include a copy of the pre-approval from GBCI and a description of the survey methodology and how it meets the survey requirements.
- Transportation performance score result. A minimum performance score of 40/100 is required for initial certification.

Delete first bullet in "Changes from LEED v4"

Under Further Explanation, delete the paragraph titled "Surveying Visitors"

Add the following to Changes from LEED v4:
"Visitors are encouraged, but not required to be surveyed."

Edit the third sentence to read as follows: "The available transportation survey responses include: walk, bike, telecommute, motorcycle or scooter, light rail (trolley, tram or streetcar), rapid transit (subway/metro), carpool (2-3 people), alternative fuel vehicle, bus, and car (solo)."

Under Further Explanation, delete the paragraph titled "Surveying Visitors"

Add the following to Changes from LEED v4:
"Visitors are encouraged, but not required to be surveyed."

Remove the following:

LT prerequisite Transportation Performance
"Note: at this time, the transportation performance score calculated is only based on one-way, one-day survey information. USGBC is in the process of updating the survey platform and scoring to include two-way one-week information."

EA prerequisite Energy Performance
"Note: at this time, the energy performance score calculated is only based on GHG emissions. USGBC is in the process of updating the scoring to include source energy. In the meantime, projects are eligible to earn up to the full 33 points based GHG emissions score."

EQ prerequisite Indoor Environmental Quality Performance
"Note: at this time, the Human Experience score is calculated as one-third occupant satisfaction score, one-third CO2 score, and one-third TVOC score. USGBC is in the process of updating the scoring to be half occupant satisfaction, one-quarter CO2 score, and one-quarter TVOC score (as specified in the rating system language)."

Correct reference from "Using O+M section" to "How it Works section, step 4" for more information on defining and calculating visitors and building occupants.

In the second bullet, add the following text at the end "(these occupants may be excluded from the survey even though they are considered regular building occupants)."

Add "(Required)" after the 40 point threshold
