Summary of changes to LEED v5
LEED v5 marks a transformative milestone in the built environment’s alignment with a low-carbon future and has been developed around three central areas of impact: decarbonization, quality of life, and ecological conservation and restoration. Every credit and prerequisite in LEED v5 is connected to the three central areas of impact. The LEED BD+C rating system is for buildings that are new construction or major renovations, and the entire building’s gross floor area must be included in the project.
Additional requirements for LEED Platinum certification have been added which include electrification requirements, minimum thresholds for energy efficiency, renewable energy requirements, and embodied carbon reductions.
