While the total of 20 points for this category is adequate, it is overweighted toward the Indoor Air Quality Performance and Occupant Satisfaction Survey. How much weight should an occupant satisfaction survey place on indoor environmental quality when most occupants do not have a solid understanding of the elements that make up environmental quality? While Indoor Air Quality is certainly one of those components, it is overweight for this category from an operations perspective. More recognition is needed for Green Cleaning and Integrated Pest Management as ongoing operational contributors to IEQ. Green Cleaning is an equal contributor to IEQ by ensuring a pollution-free indoor environment and minimizing bacterial, viral, and other contaminants that threaten occupant health year over year. Likewise, Integrated Pest Management minimizes threats from disease-bearing rodents and insects. It is suggested that Indoor Air Quality be allocated 9 points, Occupant Satisfaction Survey be allocated 1 point, Green Cleaning be allocated 5 points, and Integrated Pest Control be allocated 5 points. This leaves the category point total unchanged at 20.
