The latest version, LEED® v5 (2024), places strong emphasis on embodied carbon, circularity, and multi-attribute material selection. While earlier versions focused mainly on operational efficiency such as energy and water use, LEED® now prioritizes low-carbon, responsibly sourced products and long-term strategies for material reuse.
This shift reflects a growing recognition that many environmental impacts are locked into materials before a building even begins operation.
