I see no reaosn that a cleaning contractor cannot provide services on a 3 day per week basis, assuming a 5 day work week. As long as cleanliness levels are maintained at an APPA level of 3 or greater, do you know of any reason why this could not be implemented?

From the point of view of LEED, I don't see any obstacle to this. The credit doesn't require a certain number of days of cleaning per week, if that's what you're checking. I don't even think there's a requirement in LEED to maintain a specific APPA level, as you suggest. Am I missing something?

Thanks Tristan. IEQ Credit 3.2 in LEED EB O&M is based on achieving an APPA score of 3 or less. Facilities that score 2 or less can achieve an additional credit by way of exemplary performance. This is referenced on page 437 of LEED EB O&M 2009.
Thanks again for your help.

Very true, I was thinking about the general cleaning program for IEQc3.1, not the APPA requirement under IEQc3.2.My answer would still hold, though, that if you can maintain cleanliness with 3 cleanings a week, you're fine.
