Inquiry

Green Housekeeping A Innovation Credit 1.1 CIR ruling on 6/30/03 established the criteria to achieve an ID point for a Green Housekeeping program. We wish to develop a Green Housekeeping program for a highrise condominium project, where we will not have control over the future owners\'\' behavior once the condos are occupied. We propose that the following program meets the intent of the criteria established in the 6/03 ruling: 1. All common areas will be cleaned with materials that conform to the 6/03 ruling requirements. 2. The developer is working in close collaboration with a cleaning product manufacturer and supplier whose products are Green Seal certified, to: a. develop easy-to-use systems for household use, including either a dissolvable gel pack or small vial of concentrate that is inserted into a spray bottle; b. provide the spray bottles and other hardware required to use these systems to all tenants of the building, free of charge, to promote the use of this system; c. advertise and promote the availabilty of this system to all occupants at move-in. Additionally, the developer will 1. actively encourage all retail tenants to use the same janitorial service, which uses all Green Seal products and supporting systems, that is serving the common areas of the building, and 2. actively educate all retail tenants on the Green Seal cleaning products that are being used in the residential and common areas. Please confirm that these measure will meet the intent of the established ID credit, or please advise us what additional steps would be required for a condo-type ownership scenario.
