LEED Rating System
What LEED v5 means
LEED v5 marks the most significant update to the standard in over a decade, sharpening its focus on sustainability and long-term performance. Since LEED certifies projects rather than individual products, it emphasizes how systems work together to boost efficiency and resilience. New priorities around decarbonization, resilience planning, and water recovery redefine credit pathways, encouraging teams to pursue integrated, high-performing solutions.
“Collaborating with the U.S. Green Building Council on the evolution of LEED has been one of the true privileges of my career. LEED v5 challenges all of us to think bigger—beyond efficiency alone—toward decarbonization, resilience, and water stewardship at scale. At Sloan, we provide the products and expertise that make those ambitions achievable in the real world.”
