LEED v5 Leadership Series
Join USGBC and key technical contributors involved in developing and adopting the LEED v5 rating system as they provide an overview of the system’s goals, impact areas, and how it drives market transformation. This session will highlight why project teams and organizations choose LEED v5, its value in meeting organizational goals, and how it enhances performance and market competitiveness.
Attendees will gain insights into real-world adoption strategies, stakeholder engagement techniques, and available resources to implement LEED v5 successfully in current and future projects. Speakers will share lessons learned, best practices for streamlining certification, and approaches to achieving priorities such as decarbonization, resilience, and health and wellness techniques. Whether you want to position your projects for success or make the business case for LEED v5, this session will equip you with the tools and strategies needed to drive adoption.
Are you interested in learning more about USGBC’s LEED for Cities program? USGBC will be hosting the USGBC Local Government Leadership Summit: Boston earlier in the day in the same space. Register today and join us for both events!
