Green Building Certification
As states, cities, and the federal government pressure corporations to “Go Green,” there is a lot of ambiguity about what it takes to go Green. In the broad scope, this is a full-scale change from any consumptive practices, reduce strain on our limited resources, and decrease our dependency on petroleum. Unfortunately, this can not be done in one fell swoop. Like eating a cow, it must be done one steak at a time.
The best place to start is to with the simple and affordable levels of janitorial and office practices that can be modified without a serious overhaul of the company. Let’s face it. Going Green can be a huge financial outlay that may not be reasonable for many businesses. Certifying a Green Building can be a progressive and affordable task that turns any building into a Green Building that benefits the community.
The Green Clean Institute offers a Green Building certification under its federal trademark through a simple Green Survey that starts with a transition to a Green certified janitorial service. The janitorial service is the initial stage is the easiest and best step in creating a Green building. The Green Survey is a simple first step that allows buildings and offices to voluntary go Green in simple stages that require little or not cost to the company.
Get more information about Green Building certification at www.GreenBusinessLeague.com. Download a copy of the Green Survey, and start the program that can get your facility a Green Building certification in a month’s time. This is not a rubber stamp program. It requires that the cleaning service provide Green products and practices in the cleaning of the facility.
Month by month, the program introduces affordable steps that allow the building to transition to Green operation in a year’s time. Green Business League gives recognition to every member facility, lists the firm with Dun & Bradstreet, and revisits the subject each year. There are programs that make Green Building certification more difficult by creating a point system that is difficult to obtain, but it need not be that complex. Some steps may be as simple as trash management with techniques that require only modest changes to your existing operation.
The Green Awareness Report is the training program that is provided to the business each month with smart ideas for Greening. Each edition offers advice of the next step in Green practice. You will learn about the ten best plants for a Green office that remove pollution and add oxygen. You will learn outgassing and simple steps to reduce these harmful fumes from the building. Our system removes the barrier between the day workers of an office and the janitorial service.
There are literally dozens of simple steps to achieve a functional Green Building. Your company could hire an environmental consultant, pay money for remaking of your facility, and hope that the benefits will outweigh the trouble. You could also choose a key person in the facility to start the Green Survey and moves your building Green in a serious way. This process starts with the Green Survey and offers everyone to a healthier workplace.
