Coming June 2026
About the Series
As the industry prepares for the next evolution of LEED, our LEED v5 Webinar Series offers a practical, insider look at what’s changing – and what it means for your work.
This multi-part virtual series kicks off with Resilience + Human Health Impact, exploring new prerequisites, health impact assessment tools and case studies in climate resilience planning. Next we turn to Construction and Contractors, highlighting how v5 reshapes construction documentation, collaboration and onsite implementation. Finally, our LEED v5 O+M session dives into what’s new for existing buildings, the connection to decarbonization, performance metrics and documentation, and emerging tools that support operational excellence.
The LEED v5 webinars are eligible for LEED-specific and AIA LU / HSW continuing education credits.
