EBOM-2009 IEQc3.1:Green Cleaning—High-Performance Cleaning Program

Cleaning Equipment compliance with IEQC3.1

I have a building that is pursuing recertification under LEED EBOM V2009. They achieved IEQC3.4 Green Cleaning - Sustainable Cleaning Equipment in their previous certification. It turns out that the cleaning company purchased one piece of new equipment to be used at the building site that does not meet IEQC3.4 credit requirements. I know that the building can not earn IEQC3.4. However, how would this affect IEQC3.1 High-Performance Cleaning Program?  Would it disqualify them from earning credit 3.1?  The building meets all other requirements of the credit requirement and all other equipment meets the requirement. Any strategy or suggestion for still being able to earn Credit 3.1. It will make or break the buildings ability to earn a platinum recertification. Thanks

Would it make any difference that the non-compliant piece of equipment is for a carpet extractor that is only used when water is spilled (and not for restorative deep cleaning)? The credit language in both LEED 2009 and V4 both say that the carpet extration equipment used for resorative deep ceaning must be CRI certifed. This equipment is only used to dry carpet in an emergency and is not used for restorative deep cleaning.

Hi Jubilee, the equipment purchase should not effect your ability to earn IEQc3.1 because you don't have to list the equipment purchased for that credit.
