Pushing the Envelope with LEED v5
Help Shape LEED v5 and Accelerate Market Adoption
An interactive session focused on LEED v5 Early Adopters who have pushed the envelope by applying LEED v5 to project types beyond the typical office space and regions outside the US. The program will combine roundtables, networking, and informative presentations, featuring speakers from LEED v5 projects across multiple sectors, including data centers, convention centers, transit, and integrated retail.
We will build on the Greenbuild 2025 LEED v5 Project Priority session—which generated substantial market feedback from these sectors—and highlight how projects that break the architectural mold have made LEED v5 a reality. Breakout roundtables will enable peer-to-peer discussion, with USGBC technical staff fielding questions and identifying ongoing opportunities for product improvement.
