LEED for Commercial Interiors
The LEED for Commercial Interiors Rating System is applicable to tenant improvements of new
or existing office space.
Why Certify?
While LEED Rating Systems can be useful just as tools for building professionals, there are many
reasons why LEED project certification can be an asset:
• Be recognized for your commitment to environmental issues in your community, your
organization (including stockholders), and your industry;
• Receive third party validation of achievement;
• Qualify for a growing array of state & local government initiatives;
• Receive marketing exposure through USGBC Web site, Greenbuild conference, case
studies, and media announcements.
Certification Process
Project teams interested in obtaining LEED certification for their project must first register online.
Registration during early phases of the project will ensure maximum potential for certification.
The LEED Web site, www.leedbuilding.org, contains important details about the certification
review process, schedule and fees. The applicant project must satisfactorily document
achievement of all the prerequisites and a minimum number of points. See the LEED for
Commercial Interiors project checklist for the number of points required to achieve LEED for
Commercial Interiors rating levels.

LEED for Commercial Interiors is the green benchmark for the tenant improvement market. It is the recognized system for certifying high-performance green interiors that are healthy, productive places to work; are less costly to operate and maintain; and have a reduced environmental footprint. LEED for Commercial Interiors gives the power to make sustainable choices to tenants and designers, who do not always have control over whole building operations.
