ventilation, pull clean air from outdoors, and provide recirculated, <br />filtered air that eliminates VOC's and cannabis odor. <br />Utilizing materials and interior finish products with zero or low VOC <br />emissions will also improve IEQ. In addition, many cleaning products emit <br />gases that can have a detrimental impact on worker health, comfort, and <br />productivity. WCW shall use only those products that do not impact IAQ <br />as per Green Star, LEED and BREEAM guidelines. <br />Another vital component of IEQ is the control of moisture that can lead <br />to mold growth, bacteria, viruses, dust mites, and other organisms <br />and microbiological concerns. Water intrusion through the building's <br />envelope or water condensation on cold surfaces in the building's interior <br />can also enhance and sustain microbial growth. When used in <br />conjunction with adequate ventilation and climate control, a properly <br />insulated and tightly sealed envelope will reduce moisture problems. <br />To maintain personal temperature and airflow control, WCW will employ <br />high efficiency HVAC and heating elements with the highest possible <br />SEER rating. This will increase the site's thermal qualities. Moreover, <br />WCW shall use flooring within the guidelines established by the <br />Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America which recommends <br />hardwood, vinyl, linoleum tile, or slate flooring to limit the emission of <br />dust or particulates from the floor. <br />WCW shall also consider the interactions of all the indoor components <br />and occupants together to determine how all of the foregoing <br />components of IEQ can be used to create the optimum IEQ. <br />(g) Operations and Maintenance Optimization: <br />Regardless of the "Sustainable Business or Building Practices" employed <br />by WCW, the site will only remain sustainable if it is operated responsibly <br />and maintained properly. WCW's operations and maintenance SOP's will <br />be a part of the site's planning and development process to ensure that <br />the sustainability objectives are maintained. <br />Proper training is also critical to the implementation of sustainable <br />strategies for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) personnel. WCW's <br />O&M personnel will be trained in SOP's that detail the best practices for <br />energy efficiency, resource conservation, ecologically sensitive products, <br />and other sustainable practices. <br />m <br />
