LEED® Canada CI 1.0
Registration under LEED® Canada rating systems is closed; projects must submit for certification by October 31, 2022.
New projects must register under LEED v4.
LEED® Canada 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 Canada-CI gives the power to make sustainable choices to tenants and designers, who do not always have control over whole building operations.
The LEED Canada-CI rating system is applicable to tenant improvements of new or existing office space. It is important to note that LEED Canada-CI applies to both tenants' and base building owner's work associated with the commercial interiors improvements project.

Minimum Program Requirements (MPRs) for LEED Canada Rating Systems (pdf) – The MPRs list the basic characteristics that a project must possess to be eligible for certification under the LEED Canada rating systems, therefore defining a broad category of buildings and spaces that the LEED Canada rating systems were designed to evaluate. These MPRs apply to all projects registered on or after September 1, 2012 and projects registered earlier are encouraged to follow them for the helpful guidance and new allowances they provide, especially for Commercial Interior projects where spaces are non-contiguous. Projects must provide a signed MPR form with their project submission, declaring the project meets all MPRs or allowed exceptions.
