Since April, projects can be registered under the new LEED v5 version. In November, USGBC introduced new reference guides that are more comprehensive for this certification.

Their teams will need to become familiar with the new tools and guides on the ARC platform, which may require additional training. LEED v5 certification might also lead to changes in the supply chain to meet the new sustainability criteria.
