FAQs about SSc2 :

Is it okay to use dish soap to clean exterior windows if the product is Environmental Choice CCD 146 certified?

The performance metric for maintenance equipment is confusing. What do we need to track to show credit compliance?

We don’t have 100% adoption of environmentally preferred deicers. What performance metric should we use to show we meet the 20% compliance threshold?

We don’t have 100% adoption of environmentally preferred paint/sealants. What performance metric should we use to show we meet the 20% compliance threshold?

Our vendor brings some maintenance equipment to the site to perform work. Do we need to include this in our equipment inventory and performance metrics?

EBOM-2009 SSc2:Building Exterior and Hardscape Management Plan

LEEDuser Policy Templates missing section

The LEED reviewer required that we add a section that states when the plan goes into effect to comply with the EBOM Plan Model. Of the LEEDuser provided templates, Green Cleaning and Purchasing has the section, but we had to add it for SSc2, SSc3 and the IPM policy.

Geoffrey I'm not sure which section you are explicitly pointing too, but all of the template plans located on this site comply with the EBOM Plan Model. Thanks,

Hmm. My sense is that most reviewers interpret the date on the plan as when it goes into effect (near the top in the template for this credit's plan), but maybe this one was looking for a specific sub-section of the plan dedicated to that? Aha - Also, the "policy model" stipulates inclusion of "Time Period – Identify the time period over which the policy is applicable.", but the "policy model" does not. Sounds like this reviewer wanted to require the criteria for policies (the prerequisite documents) for the plan required by this credit.

The reviewer was ok with the LEEDuser templates that had the following section and passed the other credits when we added them to the other credits. All of them had a date on the first page under the document title. SECTION 16: TIME PERIOD This policy shall take effect on May 1, 2011 and shall continue indefinitely or until amended and/or replaced by a subsequent green cleaning policy. Reviewer Comments: 4. The plan does not appear to adhere to the Plan Model described on the LEED-EBOM web page ( www.USGBC.org/EBOM ). Specifically, the plan does not identify the time period over which the policy is applicable. Provide a revised plan that adheres to the Plan Model or highlight the relevant components of the existing documents. Specifically, identify the time period over which the policy is applicable.

Thanks for the followup post, Geoffrey. This confirms my suspicion that the reviewer mistakenly was enforcing "policy" requirements for "plan" credits...based on the inclusion of the references to a "policy" in the review comments. If you check out the Model document, there are different criteria for what needs to be incorporated into a policy versus a plan. I'm glad it was an easy enough fix for you, in any event.
