Steps

  1. Confirm the organization already holds or is concurrently pursuing base CIMS certification, since CIMS-GB is an add-on green-building element rather than a standalone certification
  2. Review the CIMS-GB green cleaning requirements, which are aligned to support the LEED Operations & Maintenance (O+M) rating system's green cleaning credit categories
  3. Implement a documented green cleaning program: sustainable purchasing of products/equipment, integrated pest management, indoor air quality protocols, and occupant communication
  4. Have the ISSA-accredited assessor evaluate the green building elements alongside the base CIMS assessment
  5. Provide the resulting CIMS-GB certification documentation to client LEED project teams so they can reference it when pursuing green cleaning credit points
  6. Confirm with the client's LEED consultant which current LEED rating system and credit language applies, since LEED credit requirements are periodically updated
