Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification is a globally recognised green building rating system that assesses the sustainability of buildings. In London, it is widely used to evaluate and encourage environmentally responsible design, construction, and operation. This certification shows that the building meets specific energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and other sustainable standards.
In London, cleaning supports LEED-certified buildings with eco-friendly and sustainable cleaning products and practices that align with LEED certifications.
Eco-friendly cleaning is using cleaning methods, products, and technologies that are not harmful to humans or the environment. This includes using eco-friendly or green cleaning products and avoiding any cleaning products that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), that are commonly found in regular cleaning products.
A major concern in LEED-certified buildings in London is the use of chemically based cleaning products. Many cleaning products release VOCs into the atmosphere, polluting water, depleting the ozone, and damaging respiratory systems. Using and disposing of these chemicals is harmful to your health and the environment.
LEED-certified buildings in London must adhere to sustainable cleaning practices, prioritising environmental responsibility, occupational health, and indoor air quality. This involves using eco-friendly and green cleaning products, implementing effective waste management, recycling programs, and using sustainable and energy efficient cleaning equipment.
