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.

• Version 2.0 - District and Campus Thermal Energy Treatment (PDF) -- Updated, expanded, and improved guidance (supersedes version 1.0) for LEED projects connected to a district or campus thermal energy system for heating and/or cooling.  Now includes coverage of design and construction programs for both LEED v2.x and LEED 2009.  Projects using LEED 2009 must use version 2.0 of the guidance and cannot use version 1.0.

• Space Type Classification (ZIP) -- This spreadsheet categorizes the spaces from IES Lighting Handbook, 10th Edition (ISBN # 978-0-87995-241-9) for applicability to Indoor Environmental Quality credits. These lists should be used along with the definitions provided in the Reference Guide glossary. Exceptions to these classifications will be accepted on a case-by-case basis for spaces with atypical uses or those in which strategies required for compliance may compromise the function of the space. This is not an exhaustive list. If a space is not listed, project teams should try to find a similar space type and follow that guidance. (11/1/2011)
