Green Cleaning - Entryway Systems
1 Point
Utilize over the performance period entryway systems (grills, grates, mats etc.) to reduce the amount of dirt, dust, pollen and other particles entering the building at all entryways and develop the associated cleaning strategies to maintain those entryway systems, as well as the exterior walkways.
Potential Technologies & Strategies:
-
Design all exterior entrances with entryway systems (grills, grates, mats etc.) to catch and hold dirt particles and to prevent contamination of the building interior.
-
Design exterior stone, brick or concrete surfaces to drain away from building entrances.
-
Utilize low maintenance vegetation in building entrances within the landscape design.
-
Avoid plants, trees and bushes in building entrance areas that are varieties that yield berries, flowers and leaves that are likely to be tracked into the building.
-
Base plant selection on an integrated pest management approach to eliminate pesticide applications that have the potential to track into the building.
-
Provide a water spigot and electrical outlet at entryways for maintenance and cleaning activities.
