I have a new project which is going to be retail. The owner wants to use LEED for Retail. I am looking for the reference material for LEED for Retail, but the reference material appears to be mostly interiors. My question is "Does LEED for Retail use the standard NC credits, or is there a special credits reference for Retail?"

Robert, there are two Retail rating systems in LEED 2009: NC and CI. The Retail-NC rating system looks an awful lot like LEED-NC, with some changes to specific credits. The Retail-CI systen looks a lot like LEED-CI, again with some changes. You should choose a rating system based on scope of work and whether it is more of an NC or a CI project, and then use the appropriate LEED-Retail system for that scope.
