LEEDv5: An Introduction

This webinar is part of SCUP’s Sponsored Series and is presented in partnership with Ayers Saint Gross.

Join us for an engaging introduction to LEEDv5 and what it means for the future of sustainable design. This session explores how the newest rating system reframes sustainability around climate action, ecological restoration, and quality of life while raising the bar on decarbonization, electrification, resilience, embodied carbon, and transparency.

You’ll gain a clear overview of what’s changed across major credit categories, how performance metrics are shifting from cost-based to carbon- and outcomes-based measures, and what new expectations, like operational carbon neutrality for LEED Platinum, mean for your projects.

Through real examples and practical discussion, we’ll unpack how LEEDv5 may impact scope, owner engagement, and team coordination so you can prepare your projects and partners with confidence.
