REQUIREMENTS EXPLAINED

The credit rewards projects that include a LEED AP with an active credential on the project team at the time of certification review.

A key design team member must have a LEED AP with LEED AP ID+C: Commercial Interiors specialty. While all LEED AP credentials provide an understanding of the green building community and certification requirements, team members with the LEED AP ID+C specialty have extensive knowledge and experience with the prerequisites and credits for a Commercial Interiors project.

LEED APs without specialty do not qualify for this credit.
