What percentage of equipment must meet the sustainability criteria to achieve EQ Credit Green Cleaning-Equipment?

  1. 20%

  2. 30%

  3. 40%

  4. 50%

The correct answer is: 40%

To achieve the EQ Credit for Green Cleaning - Equipment under LEED O+M, at least 30% of the total equipment needs to meet specific sustainability criteria. This criterion promotes the use of equipment that minimizes environmental impact and enhances indoor air quality, which includes considerations like energy efficiency, material sourcing, and waste management. While the selected option indicates 40%, the correct percentage is actually 30%. Understanding this percentage is crucial because it directly ties into LEED’s goal of fostering more sustainable operations and reducing the overall ecological footprint of facility management. It encourages property managers to invest in sustainable cleaning equipment, thereby ensuring a healthier environment for occupants while aligning with broader sustainability goals. By focusing on this minimum percentage, buildings can incrementally integrate greener practices while demonstrating a commitment to ongoing improvements in sustainability, which is a key principle of LEED certification.
