IEQ Project
Research and write a book on indoor environmental quality. The book is to be a general review of misunderstandings about (IEQ). It will cover an introduction to K-12 schools and provide a basic benchmark study (not a technical reading). It will raise the level of awareness of IAQ issues as they relate to cleaning.
Improving Custodial Budgets Project

Explore the area of security in cleaning and document how they wrap together. Key item is to begin a pilot to understand the inter-relationships.
Cleaning and Health
Expand our understanding of the impact of cleaning on healthcare. Base this on an outgrowth of indoor environmental quality projects based on understanding infectious disease in the workplace. People who manage buildings are unaware of how to do this (ASHE) NFPA101 (code) is so concerned with saving lives in building fires but only one person died last year due to a fire in a hospital. Compare that with nosocomial disease deaths.
