What is the LEED-CI Rating
System?
The benchmark for tenant improvements of new or existing office
space.
An integrated design tool that sets the industry standards for
green design and construction of tenant improvement projects to
enhance indoor environment.
Gives the power to make sustainable choices to tenants and
designers, who do not always have control over whole building
operations.
The recognized standard for certifying high-performance green
interiors that are healthy, productive places to work, are less
costly to operate and maintain, and reduce environmental
footprint.
Why Certify?
Drive down overall project cost by ensuring that
environmental performance features are incorporated
into the design from the project’s outset
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 and local
government initiatives;
Receive marketing exposure through USGBC Web site,
Greenbuild conference, case studies, and media
announcements
Benefits of LEED-CI
Enhance occupant well being and productivity

Improve employee retention and reduce
absenteeism
Reduce liability associated with poor indoor air
quality
Increase marketability
Decrease churn costs
Lower operating and maintenance costs
