Update on LEED v5 and a Request

Hello Friends,

Just a quick update on LEED v5 and a request for 3 minutes of your time.

I need to ask if you could please take this 3-minute survey to help me in my discussions with the USGBC Existing Building’s committee. (https://lnkd.in/gGBeEWgG).

On July 24, 2024, we held a LEED-EB committee meeting and the USGBC staff announced that they will specifically be reviewing the comments on the Cleaning Credits on August 7 – finally!

The 3 issues USGBC Staff identified for review based on our industry’s comments are:

  1. The Green Cleaning Prerequisite/Policy ·      
  2. Cleaning Worker Training ·      
  3. Increasing the Points Earned for Green Cleaning

Clearly, we have gotten their attention and hopefully our efforts will increase the value of cleaning in LEED v5.

The one request I have which will take you less than 3 minutes is to take this brief survey.  (https://lnkd.in/gGBeEWgG)

I am trying to assess how you value protecting the environment versus building occupant health as we try to appropriately weigh points in LEED-EB.

Please take the survey now – and consider asking others to take it as well. (https://lnkd.in/gGBeEWgG)

Finally, I am anticipating that the USGBC will release all the LEED v5 Rating Systems in mid-September for a second public comment period and I will keep you posted.

We are getting close to the finish line, so we need to keep pushing! Let me know if you have any questions and best regards.

Steve
