We have a building that is not pursuing EQ3.1 because they're having trouble getting some tenants who use their own cleaning contractor on board with the building's approach. Is it still possible to achieve EQ3.2 ? As part of the cleaning audit, they still plan to audit tenant spaces, however some of these spaces (over 10%) are cleaned by a separate contractor who is not necessarily adhering perfectly to their green cleaning policy. Thank you for any guidance!

IEQc3.1 is not a prerequisite for iEQc3.2. FYI, if it were, it would be stated in the credit language (see tab above).

I agree with Tristan, though if over 10% of the area is cleaned by a separate entity and they are not participating in the audit or responding to the audit results, I'm not sure it's legitimate to pursue the credit per its intent. Is the tenant contractor willing to participate to the extent that they will take into consideration / respond to any issues uncovered in the audit of the spaces they clean?
