LEED v5 for Building Operations and Maintenance: Operating High-Performing Buildings<\/h4>
<\/div><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

LEED v5 is the next generation of the world\u2019s leading green building rating system, shifting from simple efficiency checklists to measurable impact on carbon, resilience, and quality of life. It brings a more rigorous focus on operational and embodied carbon, integrates climate resilience and lifecycle thinking into core requirements, and strengthens the link between design choices and real\u2011world performance, aligning projects with ESG expectations and long\u2011term asset value.<\/p>\n

\n

This course introduces the structure and technical foundations of LEED v5 for Operations and Maintenance (O+M), while providing a focused transition overview for LEED v4 and v4.1 practitioners. It covers key structural changes including carbon-centered prerequisites, operational carbon assessment, climate resilience integration, and performance-based verification aligned with long-term decarbonization goals. Suitable for both professionals new to LEED and experienced practitioners managing existing building portfolios, the course builds foundational O+M knowledge and clarifies how LEED v5 redefines operational compliance and certification strategy for existing buildings.<\/p>\n

Key topics include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • The evolution of LEED and the development logic behind version 5 for existing buildings<\/li>\n
  • Structural changes across all major O+M categories, including Energy and Atmosphere, Indoor Environmental Quality, Sustainable Sites, and Water Efficiency<\/li>\n
  • New prerequisites related to operational carbon emissions assessment, climate resilience planning, and refrigerant management<\/li>\n
  • Expanded emphasis on performance verification, energy monitoring, and long-term decarbonization planning<\/li>\n
  • Integration of equity, occupant wellbeing, and community considerations within the O+M rating structure<\/li>\n
  • Rebalanced category weighting and implications for certification and recertification strategy<\/li>\n
  • The role of facility managers and building operators in achieving and maintaining LEED v5 certification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
