The LEED AP seems like a good option because of their focus on sustainability, but I feel like they might not be directly involved in day-to-day comfort issues.

The Commissioning (Cx) Agent seems like they would be a strong candidate too. They specialize in ensuring building systems are operating as intended to meet occupant needs.

I’m torn between the Facilities Manager and the Cx Agent. The Facilities Manager seems more hands-on, but the Cx Agent might have the technical expertise needed for the survey responses.
