The IGBC Green Interior Rating programme is designed to address the specific requirements of tenants-occupied commercial spaces. The rating can also be applied by owner occupied spaces, provided they have not already addressed these in the main building. The rating is ideally suited but not limited to office interior fit-outs, malls, retail spaces, hotels, restaurants, resorts, IT spaces, banks and other buildings.
