About the Webinar
In April 2025, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) launched LEED v5, the latest version of the LEED green building program. Join this free, 1-hour interactive lunchtime webinar to help your team understand the key updates, strategies, and certification pathways, especially those that align with the MA energy codes, to navigate LEED v5 with clarity and confidence. Topics to be covered include:

• A deep dive into the latest LEED v5 changes
• Practical strategies for successful certification
• Insights into decarbonization, equity, and performance
• Q&A with The Green Engineer’s team of industry experts

This session is tailored for architects, developers, engineers, and sustainability professionals, but is open to attendance from all.

This webinar can be self-reported for one free general hour of LEED, WELL, and/or AIA continuing education.
