Green Houskeeping for v2.2 & v2009

Has anyone been able to submit the same Green Housekeeping Plan for ID credit based on v2009 for a v2.2 project? We have a client with a campus whereby we have a handful of projects still in v2.2 trying to wrap up and a handful of new projects in v2009. It doesn't make sense for the campus to have to have 2 separate and quite different Green Housekeeping Plans simply because they are under different LEED versions. Can anyone lend some guidance, are we stuck having 2 separate plans?

Yes, v2.2 projects can use the v2009 requirements for the Green Housekeeping Plan....(usually going forward isn't a problem, it's the backcasting that'll get you in trouble).

Are you sure as there are some conflicting requirements between the 2 - and that is where we have been running into problems.

Well, they're two different approaches with different requirements. The v2.2 plan is based on LEED Interpretation 766, but the v2009 plan is based on another rating system (LEED-EBOM 2009 IEQp3: Green Cleaning Policy). But I've seen projects use the v2009 plan requirements for a v2.2 project. (Keep in mind that if you have any residential projects - dorms - there are additional requirements for a v2.2 housekeeping plan!)
