Our CI's base bldg earned LEED Gold which included ID credits for green cleaning, education, and low mercury lamps. From previous posts it looks like we cannot pursue green cleaning, but how sustainable purchases of ongoing consumables? I am presenting owner with possibilities such as Green Power (100%) and Custodial Effectiveness Assessment but we are looking for additional ID points. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I've used Green Cleaning consistently in CI projects. To use this successfully in a LEED building, you would need to show that you are doing something "extra." In a CS building, green cleaning might only apply to the common areas - adoption by the tenant would expand that. With an EBOM building the task might be harder, but you could document the compliance credits rather than the plan.

Thank you. I am concerned about pursuing ID credits for our CI that were achieved in the base building certification process. Base building achieved ID credits for Education, low mercury lamps and green cleaning.

Sheryl, my understanding is that with CI projects, if you are taking credit for something innovative that is more about the base building than about your project, you should so that through SSc1.

There are pre-requisites for green cleaning under O+M. would we need to do the pre-req and another green cleaning credit, or just the pre-req to get a point for our CI project?

We've used the High Performance Cleaning Program with success on past projects. Requirements incorporate the prerequisite but add a few points.
