Safeguard the Future of the Industry

Join the Conversation on LEED v5 Revisions

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is inviting everyone to participate in the second public comment period for LEED v5, open until October 28, 2024. This is a valuable opportunity for everyone in the industry, regardless of USGBC membership, to share their insights on the proposed changes.

Your Voice Matters

During the first public comment period, the cleaning industry submitted hundreds of comments, leading to key revisions in cleaning-related prerequisites and credits. Now, your feedback is essential as we refine these standards further. This is your chance to influence the future of LEED certification and ensure our industry’s role in promoting health and safety is recognized.

How to Provide Feedback

USGBC is looking for comments that highlight what works well and what needs improvement. Effective feedback includes not just your opinions but also the reasoning behind them, so be sure to get specific and provide detail!

Deadline for Comments: October 28, 2024
