LEED® Canada-CI for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI) is a comprehensive, voluntary, market-driven green building rating system for commercial interiors. LEED-CI is an interior design tool used to minimize environmental impacts and maximize occupant comfort and performance of tenant spaces.

LEED-CI addresses performance areas in office, retail, and institutional buildings including:

    * selection of sustainable tenant space;
    * efficiency of water usage;
    * energy performance optimization including lighting and lighting controls;
    * resource utilization for interior building systems and furnishings, and;
    * indoor environmental quality including comprehensive emissions criteria.

This full-day training session for building tenants and designers provides an in-depth discussion of the LEED-CI
credit requirements and certification process. The training will address the basic principles of sustainability as
they relate to tenant improvement projects and present the definitive standard for what constitutes a green
interior. Highlights include technologies and strategies for achieving LEED credits to optimize performance of
leased spaces.
