LEED-CI is the rating system for which space?

• A. Commercial Interiors
• B. Interior Design and Construction
• C. Neighborhood Development
• D. Core & Shell

Answer: (A)

LEED-CI certifies the interior space that a tenant occupies in a commercial building. It focuses on the interior fit-out and the choices the tenant makes to create a sustainable, healthy workspace—covering aspects like lighting, HVAC within the tenant space, materials, and indoor environmental quality. This scope is what differentiates it from other LEED paths that address broader building or site issues.

Neighborhood Development deals with site-wide planning and neighborhoods, Core & Shell covers the building’s core structure and exterior envelope that are typically completed before tenant improvements, and Interior Design and Construction is a different LEED path for interior design projects (but not the specific tenant interior space certification).
