SUMMARY:LEED v5: Driving Decarbonization
DESCRIPTION:As climate action becomes an increasingly important priority for the building industry\, LEED v5 places a stronger emphasis on decarbonization than any previous version of the rating system. This webinar\, featuring TÜV SÜD Senior Sustainability Consultant Ashley Langenfeld\, will introduce attendees to LEED v5’s carbon-focused approach and explain why reducing emissions has become a central goal of green building certification. Participants will gain an understanding of the key concepts behind operational carbon\, embodied carbon\, electrification\, renewable energy\, and carbon-conscious design decisions. We’ll explore how these topics appear throughout the LEED v5 rating systems\, discuss why they matter to project teams and sustainability professionals\, and review how LEED is helping align building performance with broader climate goals. \nWhether you’re preparing for a LEED credential\, working on LEED projects\, or simply looking to better understand the industry’s shift toward carbon reduction\, this session will provide a practical overview of one of the most significant changes in LEED v5. \nBy the end of this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nExplain why decarbonization is a major focus of LEED v5 and the green building industry.\nDifferentiate between operational carbon and embodied carbon in the built environment.\nIdentify common decarbonization strategies emphasized within LEED v5\, including electrification\, energy efficiency\, renewable energy\, and low-carbon materials.\nRecognize how decarbonization concepts are integrated throughout LEED v5 rating systems and project decision-making.\n\nThis webinar can be self-reported for 1 free general-hour credit toward LEED\, WELL\, and/or AIA continuing education. \n\n\n\nGo to Course
