APPENDIX III: SURVEY RESPONSE REQUIREMENTS

Required response rate for survey

Equation 1.

Response rate for projects with 500 or fewer occupants = 15%

Response rate for projects with more than 500 occupants =

100 * (0.15/square root [occupancy/500])

Examples

For a project with 200 occupants, the required response rate = 15% of 200. At least 30 survey responses are required.

For a project with 800 occupants, the required response rate = 100 * (0.15/square root [800/500]) = 11.86% of 800. At least 95 survey responses are required.
