Our university campus has a custodial department that purchases cleaning products and materials centrally for all of our buildings. We are employing a green cleaning program and are considering adjusting it to comply with the requirements of LEED EBO&M. This seems like it would be in line with the intent of the green cleaning credits, but tracking how much of each product is used in a specific building would be impossible. Does the campus-wide scenario seem likely to satisfy?

If you can show a campus-wide green cleaning policy that complies with LEED-EBOM requirements then I don't foresee any trouble with LEED compliance.The one caveat I can think of is that you should demonstrate in some way that the specific project building gets the same green cleaning treatment as all the buildings. For example, if your policy were that 30% of cleaning product purchases were sustainable, but it happened for some logistical reason that 5% of the products actually used in the project building were sustainable, you wouldn't be meeting the credit intent or requirements.
