CLEANING EQUIPMENT. PERFORMANCE METRICS AND MEASUREMENT All newly acquired cleaning equipment shall comply with the criteria listed below. The Responsible Party shall assign staff to track the percentage of all equipment that meets the criteria, based on cost or number of pieces of equipment, with a target of <20%> <value greater than 20% if more than 20% of the current equipment complies> of equipment comply by October 30, 2013. PRACTICES TO OPTIMIZE USE OF SUSTAINABLE CLEANING EQUIPMENT All new equipment acquisitions shall comply with the requirements of IEQc3.4: Green Cleaning, Sustainable Cleaning Equipment: ▪ Vacuum cleaners meet the requirements of the Carpet and Rug Institute “Green Label” Testing Program— Vacuum Cleaner Criteria and are capable of capturing 96% of particulates 0.3 microns in size and shall operate with a sound level less than 70dBA. ▪ Carpet extraction equipment for restorative, deep cleaning is certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute’s “Seal of Approval” Testing Program for deep-cleaning extractors. ▪ Powered floor equipment—e.g., electric and battery-powered floor buffers and burnishers—is equipped with vacuums, guards and/or other devices for capturing fine particulates, and operates with a sound level less than 70dBA. ▪ Propane-powered floor equipment has high-efficiency, low-emission engines with catalytic converters and mufflers that meet California Air Resources Board (CARB) or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards for the specific engine size, and operate with a sound level of less than 90dBA. ▪ Automated scrubbing machines are equipped with variable-speed feed pumps and onboard chemical metering to optimize the use of cleaning fluids. Alternatively, the scrubbing machines use only tap water with no added cleaning products. ▪ Battery-powered equipment is equipped with environmentally preferable gel batteries. ▪ Powered equipment is ergonomically designed to minimize vibration, noise and user fatigue. ▪ Equipment is designed with safeguards, such as rollers or rubber bumpers, to reduce potential damage to building surfaces. A log shall be kept for all powered cleaning equipment to document the date of purchase and all repair and maintenance activities. Vendor cut sheets for all equipment used onsite shall be stored onsite. When cleaning equipment replacement is necessary, acquisition dates and supporting documentation shall be retained to demonstrate that all newly acquired equipment complies with the specifications.
