LEED v5 Breakfast Briefing 2 of 5: Integrative Process, Location & Transportation, and Sustainable Sites 

Join Green Building Alliance in exploring LEED v5! In this in-person session, we will explore what is new (and what remains the same) in the LEED credit categories of Integrative Process (which is now Integrative Process, Planning, and Assessments), Location & Transportation, and Sustainable Sites. Major changes to these categories include three new prerequisites that require assessments on Climate Resilience, Human Impact, and Carbon. We will also hear industry perspectives and discuss reactions from event attendees. 

GBA VP of Education Leslie Montgomery will provide a high-level summary of the rating system’s updates in these categories, and participants can discuss their reactions and observations as they relate to the broader industry.

Attendees will

– Gain insight into the latest evolution of the LEED rating system and the U.S. Green Building Council’s approach to market transformation

– Better understand what LEED’s new prerequisites and credits might mean for project owners and project teams

– Analyze how the newest version of the rating system aligns with broader trends in the green building industry (globally and locally) 

– Learn about the three main priorities of LEED v5 and how they show up in credits: Decarbonization, Quality of Life, and Ecological Conservation & Restoration 

This session is eligible for 1.5 AIA or self-reported GBCI credits
