Choice Carpet Padding. (GREEN LABEL) Approved:
Beginning in
December 2007, we will be replacing our Corridor

rubber or fiber
padding. Healthier Choice padding is bacteria
resistant,
contains no VOCs
i.e styrene formaldehyde or 4-PC. This padding
has
an R rating of .66,
has a 35 UG gas rating. Material cannot give off
more than 600 UG
gases to receive the GREEN LABEL. We will be
well
below the 600 UG
rating.
11. Caulking of
hotel façade. (3 year project.):
Three year project
re-caulking all vertical and horizontal joints
