EBOM-2009 IEQc3.3:Green Cleaning—Purchase of Sustainable Cleaning Products and Materials

Cleaning Product Question

The cleaning product being used is readily biodegradable and met credits towards LEED EBOM 2008. But we're going for certification under LEED EBOM 2009? Does the product still qualify?

Maria, What is the product? If you used it for LEED EBOM v2008, I would expect that you can use it for your re-certification period for v2009. But I can't say for sure unless I know what the product is.

H2Orange2 Concentrate 117 a Hydrogen-Peroxide based multi-purpose cleaner. It's made by: EnvirOx, LLC Thanks It's on USDA's biopreferred list. It also passed the Carpet & Rug Institute's SOA testing protocol. It's been registered with the EPA in their pesticide product labeling system since 1998 and still approved as of 11/23/11. Our project building has never been LEED certified. This is our first time. Thanks for your input.

It appears that Concentrate 117 has a few sustainability labels (CRI, USDA BioPreferred and it's EPA Registered), but these do not meet the criteria for this LEED credit. I noticed that the H2Orange2 Concentrate 116 is CCD-146 certified, which does meet the sustainability criteria and would count toward your percentage of sustainable purchases. Is this a similar product that you can use?

Good idea. I will bring up this option to the Custodial Mgr and see if a switch to 116 would meet his needs. Thank you so much for confirming that 117 is close, but not going to qualify. I appreciate your expertise!
