  Excited to share insights from the "Introduction to LEED Certification" course! 🌿 Planning a project involves navigating the dynamic LEED Scorecard, a crucial tool in achieving silver, gold, or platinum badges. This moving target evaluates key categories: 1. Discovery: Essential for cost-effective environmental goals. 2. Design & Construction: Spanning schematic design to project completion. 3. Occupancy, Operations & Feedback: Measuring performance and evaluating success. LEED Certification categories include Integrative Process, Location and Transportation, Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Material and Resources, Environmental Quality, and Innovation. 🏆 #Sustainability #LEEDCertification #ProjectPlanning

👉 Have you heard about the upcoming changes to LEED certification?  The green building industry is changing, focusing on embodied carbon, and the U.S. Green Building Council is following suit. Significant updates are expected in LEED v5, which will expand the focus beyond energy efficiency and start addressing the full life-cycle impact of building materials. Key changes include: ✅ Mandatory requirements for embodied carbon reduction ✅ Promoting the use of low-carbon materials ✅ Conducting whole-building life-cycle assessments   Understanding these developments is essential for anyone working in sustainable construction. Learn more about the changes coming during a live Q&A with USGBC Texas and One Click LCA. We'll discuss the proposed changes in depth, share insights into LEED v5’s practical applications, and provide guidance on compliance pathways. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead in the field and ensure your projects align with the new standards.
