Able Building Maintenance

Green/LEED-EB

Part of being a responsible member of the business community is being a responsible member of the world community and protecting the environment. Able Building Maintenance has embraced "green cleaning" and recognizes that supporting and promoting environmental stewardship is a necessity.

The most widely known organization for Green Cleaning is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). LEED recognizes, supports and promotes green buildings through a comprehensive system offering project certification, professional accreditation, training, and practical resources.

The LEED rating system for existing buildings was created to address:

  • Janitorial Services
  • Whole-building cleaning and maintenance issues including chemical use
  • Ongoing indoor air quality
  • Energy and water efficiency
  • Recycling programs and facilities
  • Exterior maintenance programs
  • System upgrades to meet green building energy, water, IAQ, and lighting performance standards

Able Building Maintenance is concerned about the future of our planet and the impact on the environment by the resources the cleaning industry uses on a daily basis. Able is committed to being an environmentally sound and conscious business.

Cleaning trends are slowly changing with more importance being placed on providing exceptionally high levels of cleanliness without damaging our living environment.

The challenge of implementing an effective "green cleaning" approach is that of assimilating it into the current cleaning operation. Once that decision is made and the program is instituted the following benefits are achieved:

  • Worker productivity increases.
  • Employers achieve significant gains in improved employee health, performance, and attendance.
  • Analysis shows decreases in janitorial supply purchases.
  • Using proper equipment with superior training and education, combined with using effective, non-toxic cleaning solutions, results in lower operating and maintenance costs, faster, more effective cleaning, and improved performance.
  • Community support and recognition.
