Ozone Laundry for LEED Certification
MAKE OZONE LAUNDRY PART OF YOUR LEED BUILDING PROJECT
The LEED Building Project is a groundbreaking architecture and engineering certification program that’s changing the way we construct buildings and cities worldwide. Its focus on sustainability has become a popular trend, but it’s also gaining traction because it’s a smart business decision.
Businesses such as hotels, hospitals, and long-term care facilities can reap significant public relations advantages by obtaining LEED certification for their buildings. Moreover, they can experience actual operational cost reductions. Absolute Ozone® laundry system can assist in achieving LEED requirements while simultaneously boosting your financial gains.
HOTELS ARE GOING GREEN IN BUNCHES
Anyone who has travelled and stayed in an American hotel in the past ten years has probably encountered ‘green’ programs to reduce laundering or low-consumption lighting. Today, we are seeing more stories about hotel buildings qualifying for LEED certification, probably under the new construction and major renovations rating system published by the US Green Building Council.
As part of a LEED project, hoteliers should definitely consider ozone sanitation for the on-premise laundry. We have discovered that ozone laundry reduces energy consumption, a key objective of LEED ratings. In addition, a well-designed ozone laundry helps reduce chemical usage (softener), can extend linen life, and produce top-quality linen outcomes generally.
NEW: LEED STANDARDS FOR HEALTHCARE
In April 2011, the USGBC introduced a rating system for healthcare buildings, either new construction or substantial renovations. The system includes inpatient hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other health-related structures such as clinics, assisted living, offices, and research centers.
Ozone laundry is a perfect fit for healthcare because its disinfection capabilities shine in these environments where cross-patient infections can be so dangerous. Ozone not only destroys MRSA and other tough microorganisms but is also one of the most effective methods for removing odours and difficult blood and incontinence stains from fabric. Further, ozone laundry helps control costs in healthcare, where public resistance to ever-increasing costs is building.
OZONE LAUNDRY IS A WIN-WIN
Think of the possibilities, Save money while saving money and obtain positive PR. The facts are simply compelling. Ozone laundry systems are part of a superior laundering operation, considering linen outcomes, but they also save money. This is not a difficult choice.
