Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UCI sources products that meet third-party green criteria for all cleaning applications where a suitable product is available and continually researches new green cleaning product applications as part of UCI’s Low Environmental Impact Cleaning Policy And High-Performance Cleaning Program (https://www.procurement.uci.edu/_files/documents/strategic-initiatives/Green-Cleaning-Policy-UC-Irvine-2020.pdf). Note: The Green Cleaning Policy was updated in summer 2020 to incorporate new policies and procedures due to the pandemic. Performance goals for the program include:
1. Seek to ensure that at least 30% of cleaning, hard floor and carpet care products purchased meet program sustainability criteria as detailed in LEED EBOM EQ 3.3.
2. Seek to achieve 100% of all powered cleaning equipment purchases meet program sustainability criteria as detailed in LEED EBOM EQ 3.4. In addition, 20% of all janitorial equipment purchases meet program sustainability criteria as detailed in LEED EBOM EQ 3.4.
3. Maintain appropriate standard operating procedures, strategies, and guidelines for critical tasks as detailed in EQ Prerequisite 3.
4. Ensure appropriate staff training on an ongoing basis as detailed in EQ Prerequisite 3. Training will take place on a monthly basis and will be documented accordingly at UCI.
5. Collect occupant feedback to ensure continuous improvement and occupant satisfaction. A log of the results shall be kept.
6. Provide a benchmarking process to measure custodial effectiveness which meets with current collective bargaining agreement requirements.
The increase in total annual expenditures on cleaning products reflects pandemic related trends.
