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!
