What we know

January 2023

As the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) prepares it's next venture into the LEED rating system, here's what we know. According to the Future of LEED report, published in June of 2022, the next phases of LEED will be focused on a few key points:


  • Scale for greatest impact
  • Decarbonize the building industry swiftly to reflect the urgency of the climate crisis
  • Inspire and recognize adaptive and resilient built environments
  • Invest in human health and well-being
  • Create environments in which diversity, equity and inclusivity thrive
  • Support flourishing ecosystems through regenerative development practices


We can assume these will be the pillars guiding the new LEEDv5 rating system, meaning, with the partnership of the International Well-Building Institute, announced at Greenbuild 2022, there will be a new focus on human health, social equity, and resiliency.


Much like the advancements made in LEEDv4.1, we see a trend towards a technical "outcome and performance" driven checklist, rather than set of jargoned specifications that can be altered and persuaded to meet criteria along multiple pathways.
