Designing for LEED v5: What Architects Need to Know Now
August 19, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Join AIA Virginia for a webinar about LEED v5 on Tuesday, August 19 from 12:00-1:00pm EST.
LEED v5 is bringing a bold shift in priorities and design teams need to be ready. This AIA-approved CE webinar, led by a practicing LEED consultant, will walk you through the most significant updates in LEED v5 compared to LEED v4, and what they mean for architects.
We’ll cover:
- Key credit changes and new emphasis areas (including decarbonization, equity, and performance)
- How these updates impact early design decisions, materials selection, and MEP coordination
- A side-by-side comparison of LEED v4 and v5 scorecards for a real building
- Tips to align design team sustainability goals with LEED v5 requirements
Whether you’re new to LEED or an experienced user, you’ll leave this session with practical strategies to navigate LEED v5 and use it as a tool for meaningful, measurable impact.
