Operation & Maintenance

2. Facility Maintenance

Proper housekeeping and operations activities can protect the health and comfort of occupants and decrease the impact of the building on the environment.

  1. Maintain healthy and efficient custodial operations using Green Seal or equivalent cleaning products.
  2. Frequently inspect for fungus and molds.
  3. Form an in-house "Green Team" to raise awareness of workplace associated environmental concerns.
  4. Provide centralized ground-floor location for collection and storage of recyclables. Train occupants on recycling procedures and consider incorporating recycling facilities such as compactors, chutes or other technologies to accommodate predicted volumes.
  5. Do not store materials, products or equipment outdoors, except finished product in transit and company-owned vehicles.
