Wanted: LEED v5 case studies. With LEED v5 mandatory registration coming July 1, 2027, I know lots of LEED APs and sustainability professionals in various roles who are curious to learn more and get ready. But actual certified projects are still rare. If you've been part of a certified LEED v5 project (or will be soon), I'd love to connect with you!
I'm looking for real projects to feature in an ongoing webinar series reaching thousands of sustainability professionals who want to understand what v5 actually looks like in practice, not just in the credit language. Whether you BD+C, ID+C, or O+M, I and thousands of others would love to hear about it.
I know -- your project is unique. You're under an NDA. You've already changed firms since you worked on it. Maybe your project isn't even certified -- yet. Maybe it never will be (there's a great story there). Maybe the interesting lessons learned are a little hard to share, or maybe (this is very common), you just did the work and don't even realize how valuable your story is! So. Many. Reasons. to not share your story.
I get it — and I still want to hear from you anyway! Like many of you, I'm a hands-on learner. I don't learn from reading the Reference Guide. I learn from from real stories, from real people. Never underestimate the power of the hidden nugget of knowledge that you've already unconsciously incorporated into your mental model. Onward -- we can caveat, anonymize, and get permission to share in a safe space.
Help us all learn together by sharing your story, however big or small. There's something in it for you -- case studies are great marketing for you and your organization, but that's not all. They matter. Sharing best practices, one lesson learned at a time, is something we can all do to help scale our individual work and green up the entire built environment.
Please DM me if you *might* have something to talk about. On behalf of my network of 5,000+ professionals -- thanks in advance for your help!
