Green cleaning involves not only building managers, but also requires effort from distributors servicing the facility, cleaning crews and building users. Building a team When forming a ‘green team,’ facility managers should consider what contribution each team member can make. Often, a team member is passionate about green issues and has the best of intentions, but is not skilled enough in building operations to lend much to the program’s success.
