New Green Seal Product Line To Aid LEED Certification Process

(Johnstown, NY) - 90% of your life is spent indoors, breathing in air that is up to 500% more polluted than outdoor air. The

U.S. Green Building Council, an organization dedicated to maintaining safer buildings for people and the environment, stands ready to change this disturbing statistic. Spray Nine Corporation, a cleaning product manufacturer located in the foothills of NY's Adirondack Mountains, joined the Green Building Council to help reduce cleaning’s effect on indoor pollution.

Elizabeth Bridge, Director of Strategic Development, explains:

"Building owners nationwide are realizing financial benefits can be achieved by improving indoor air quality. Through its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Program, the Green Building Council offers a way to enjoy the financial benefits of a green building with the added bonus of prestigious certification."

According to Bridge, the use of Green cleaning products can earn up to a third of the points required for LEED certification. She explains how Adirondack Green, Spray Nine's line of Green Seal (GS-37) cleaning products, offers advantages to facilities using Green cleaners for LEED certification:

"Each product carries on the Spray Nine tradition of heavy-duty performance and economy. For example, many green cleaners perform at dilutions ranging from 8:1 – 10:1. Our Adirondack Green® All Purpose Cleaner, at a dilution of 16:1, matched a competitive benchmark that uses twice as much product (8:1). This represents savings on labor and chemical use."

The Adirondack Green line consists of three products, each available in 4 x 1 gallon, 5 gallon and 55 gallon containers. The products are: All-Purpose Cleaner/Degreaser, Multi-Surface Bathroom Cleaner, and Glass Cleaner.

Benefits enjoyed by Green buildings with LEED Certification include:

• Productivity - Improving indoor air quality could help U.S. businesses reclaim up to $58 billion in lost sick time and $180 billion in lost productivity (an average of 18 minutes per worker, per day) each year.

• Personnel Retention - One case study documents how a financial services firm was able to lift employee retention rates in its Green building by 50% over its traditional locations.
