Commercial Buildings
Most often the largest expense in any commercial office
setting is the salaries and benefits paid to the occupants.
Scientific studies conducted both in the United States and
abroad have demonstrated that healthier, greener indoor
environments have a positive impact on worker productivity.
These studies place the productivity improvements between
0.5 percent and 7 percent, with most suggesting that a 2
percent improvement is not unreasonable. So just in the same
way a company invests in computers and other technology to
improve worker productivity, investing in Green Cleaning can
offer an enormous return on investment. Additional benefits
can include:
- Reduced liability
- Reduced employee absenteeism
- Reduced employee turnover
- Reduced occupant complaints
- Reduced vacancy costs
- Increased tenant satisfaction
- Increased tenant retention
- Increased marketability of the property
Schools, Day Care and Universities
Studies funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
have demonstrated that healthier school environments have a
direct impact not only on school attendance, but also on
student performance on standardized tests. Such a study
recently in a Washington, DC elementary school demonstrated
that the number of students meeting the minimum requirements
in math increased by 49 percent and those meeting the
minimum requirements in reading increased by 27 percent. In
addition, Green cleaning is a requirement of school programs
such as those developed by the Collaborative for High
Performance Schools (CHPS) and the Healthy Schools Campaign.
Green Cleaning can be a cost effective strategy to help
improve performance of our schools while also reducing their
impacts on the environment.
Healthcare Facilities
Nosocomial infections are a major problem in healthcare,
resulting in the deaths of some 90,000 people each year and
having huge financial impacts for healthcare organizations.
While not all hospital-acquired infections are a result of
poor sanitation or hand washing, estimates suggest that
between 30 and 40 percent could be avoided through better
practices. In addition, occupational asthma for nurses and
other staff is increasing. Green Cleaning can help
healthcare facilities rethink their cleaning strategies, to
re-evaluate the products used to clean and disinfect, and to
minimize the impacts on patients, staff and the environment.
In addition, Green Cleaning is a requirement of the new
Green Guide for Hospitals for a Healthy Environment as well
other efforts to improve the delivery of quality healthcare,
while at the same time reducing healthcare industry's
impacts on the environment.
