LEED® Support

You know LEED—the United States Green Building Council’s (USGBC) standard for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It’s the point-based system designed to encourage green initiatives. And reward those who take action.

If you work in a LEED certified building, your organization has spent an incredible amount of time, energy, and money to ensure your facility meets the standards. It's a huge responsibility to maintain an environmental initiative. It's also an opportunity for you to be the hero. And we can help.

MilliCare is a member of the USGBC. Our groundbreaking research and product development allows us to offer our customers environmentally friendly ways to care for their carpet and textiles. Even if your building isn't LEED certified, working with MilliCare can contribute to LEED-EBOM (LEED for Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance). Let’s work together.

Your Partner in Green

To achieve LEED points, you need a partner who can help you meet the guidelines.

  • Water Efficiency

    Find a partner who will reduce the burden on the water supply by using a dry anchored system, as opposed to hot water extraction. Check.

  • Energy and Atmosphere

    Find a partner who can clean using alternatives to traditional hot water extraction systems. Check.

  • Materials and Resources

    Find a partner with maintenance practices that are proven to reduce wear and tear, keeping your carpet out of the landfill. Check.

  • Indoor Environmental Quality

    Find a partner who uses safe, low emitting dry powder cleaners. Check. Has the Carpet and Rug Institute’s seal of approval. Check. Uses methods that effectively remove up to 99% of indoor allergens to improve Indoor Air Quality. Check. And have technicians who are trained by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. Check. (In fact, our training program is an IICRC certified school.)

MilliCare. Check.

The Contribution Comes From Dry Care

MilliCare’s Dry Care technology is the first dry-based cleaning method to be awarded CRI’s Seal of Approval for deep cleaning systems. It removes up to 99% of airborne allergens. Uses little to no water. And uses 319% less energy than hot water extraction cleaning.

Racking Up

Because it's likely you manage an existing facility, the points you want are for LEED-EBOM (LEED for Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance), which awards businesses for sustainable maintenance plans. Our Dry Care technology directly supports three of the six LEED-EBOM categories:

  • A reduction of your overall energy use
  • A significant reduction in water use
  • Preservation of your building's materials

And it can help contribute to a fourth category, Indoor Environmental Quality.

Benefits of LEED

If your local government has adopted LEED programs, tax credits, tax breaks, reduced fees, grants, and low-interest loans may be coming your way. Then there’s the significant long-term cost savings of a green program and the payback that comes in the form of employee productivity and appreciation. They’ll thank you for giving them a healthier space to work.
