We are attempting to implement a green cleaning program in a LEED-NC project that will satisfy the LEED Innovation in Design credit.
Im posting here rather than LEED-NC forum - because it lacks a category for this. I thought some of you may know.
The language for LEED-EB green cleaning credits have alot of thresholds such as 20% of equipment must conform to criteria, but 100% of equipment acquired during performance period must conform to the critera.
For LEED-NC projects seeking ID credit, would the percentages always be 100%?

Hi Michael,
I think the same threshold requirements would apply to your situation. Any new equipment that’s purchased for the building would need to be compliant. It’s sort of like you’re starting your performance period now with the first purchase of any new equipment. But equipment that’s already been purchased (like if the cleaning vendor already owned equipment that they’ll bring on-site) - this equipment isn’t required to meet the criteria, as long as 20% of all equipment used in the building complies. Does that make sense?
