How's your building ambience?

The hunt is about to commence for buildings that are designed for effective cleaning – both from a cost and user comfort perspective.

The 2009/2010 Building Cleanability Awards will be the eighth scheme promoted by the cleaning industry Livery Company – The Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners, supported, as Awards Patron, by The British Cleaning Council.

This year sees the active involvement of the architectural profession with representatives from both The Royal Institute of British Architects and The Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists joining the management team charged with expanding the Awards scheme to best effect.

Associate Sponsors so far identified include ISS UK, Mayflower Washroom Solutions and Selden Research, together with a number of cleaning industry Champions who have pledged their support for the Awards.

The 2009/2010 Building Cleanability Awards are open to any building of any age with an internal area greater than 5,000 square metres. There are 10 separate entry categories covering all types of building – public, commercial, education, transport, hospitality, heritage, retail, health, leisure and sport.

Shortlisted entries from each category will receive a detailed assessment visit and featured in the Awards Presentation Ceremony and on the Awards website, to help promote best practice.

This latest scheme, covering the whole of the UK, as well as Southern Ireland, will be officially ‘launched’ at the Livery Company’s Court meeting Luncheon on Monday 13th July being held at Butchers’ Hall in London.

Any company or organisation, architect, designer, constructor, occupier, building owner, cleaning contractor or management company can enter one or more buildings – so now is the time to put your building on the ‘cleanability’ map, since building cleanability is a key cornerstone of sustainable building management.

Entries will be received through until the end of December 2009 and, following the assessment reviews and visits, the 2009/2010 Awards scheme will culminate with a prestigious Presentation Ceremony in London’s famous Guildhall on Monday 12th July 2010. Put the date in your diary now!
