The LEED Reference Guide language describing the criteria for the different types of cleaning equipment is a bit confusing—it is not always clear which criteria apply to which equipment types. All equipment must be ergonomically designed to minimize noise and vibration, and must have safeguards such as rollers or rubber bumpers to minimize damage to building surfaces (this is something you’ll have to look into for yourself, since the certifications do not address ergonomics and safeguards).

Each type of equipment is subject to specific sustainability criteria. Check your equipment inventory and equipment spec sheets against these criteria, and document in the tracking form on LEED Online.

Not more than four RP points can be earned, even if you earn all six RP credits. However, it makes sense to aggressively pursue as many RP credits as possible, in case a credit becomes unattainable during the design and construction process or one of your  RP submittals is denied during certification review. Doing so also supports the environmental priorities of your region.
