August 30, 2017 To Whom It May Concern

Dear Sir/Madam Subject: Executive Mat Service I am pleased to provide this letter of reference for Executive Mat Service.

As with any organization, of vital importance to the Saskatchewan Abilities Council is ensuring our clients, visitors and staff members have a safe environment in which to receive services and carry on business. This focus on safety extends to our floors and flooring surfaces. It is important to us that our floor surfaces are free of tripping hazards, wetness, and that they can accommodate a variety of mobility equipment and needs. To that extent, we are pleased to have installed Executive Mat’s Waterhog Plus matting. The Waterhog Plus mat provides a safe, clean surface that stays in place and is able to accommodate mobility devices and needs. We are pleased with the functionality, look and, most importantly the safety the mats bring.

The Council’s experience with Executive Mat has been excellent. We were able to trial the mats to ensure they met our needs and we benefited from working with a local company that provides direct and ongoing contact with expertise and years of experience in the field of commercial matting. I would not hesitate to recommend Executive Mat. Thank you and please contact me for further information.

Yours truly, SASKATCHEWAN ABILITIES COUNCIL INC.

Karen Moore Director of Provincial Services Yours truly,

Water is heavy at 8.34 pounds to the gallon and energy is required whenever it is moved, treated, heated or pressurized. For many communities the energy required for supplying and treating water and wastewater constitutes the largest municipal energy cost.1 It is estimated that 5% of the annual energy consumption in the US is related to the supply of water and wastewater treatment.4 The carbon intensity of water use is magnified when heat is applied to the water being used.

The use of water for cleaning entry floor matting has a Measurable impact on a building’s carbon footprint.

By calculating the water used for various cleaning methods along with the energy intensity by Province we can see the carbon impact of a building.

Industrial floor mat wash programs typically consume 1 us gallon per pound of floor matting being washed5. With an average weight of 1lb per square foot (ft2)6 of matting the required to wash 1,000 ft2 = 1,000 us gallons. Wash water is typical tempered at 100F. Energy required to heat the wash water from 40F = (100-40)7 x 8.34 lbs./gal. x 1,000 us gals = 500,400 btu/1,000 ft2 washed.

Typical mobile carpet cleaning systems consume 4.8 us gallons of water per minute (gpm)8. The average length of time to properly wash a 5’x10’ mat is 5 minutes9. Therefore to clean 1,000 ft2 of heavily soiled matting takes 1.7 hours or 490 us gallons of water. Wash water is typically heated to 200F. Energy required to heat wash water from 40F = (20040) x 8.34 lbs./gal. x 490 us gals. = 654,000 btu/1,000 ft2 washed.

CDF washing technology uses 1.5 us gallons of water per minute and can process 1,000 ft2 in as little as 7 minutes for a combined total water use of 10 us gallons.10 Wash water is heated to 180F. Energy required to heat wash water from 40F = (180-40) x 8.34 lbs./gal. x 10 us gals. = 11,700 btu/1,000 ft2 washed.

Rural delivery schedule is Every-4th-week. the environmental impact

The fact is … Canada is a big country with many kilometers between rural communities.

A rural delivery route can include 100’s of thousands of kilometers of driving per year. That is a lot of fuel and a lot of carbon emissions.
