LEED v5 Changes Everything About How Projects Get Documented

Most project teams aren't ready.

Carbon, materials, air quality, and documentation now carry more weight than ever. Green Badger helps teams manage it all in real time so nothing gets missed at closeout.
Start your LEED v5 project

LEED v4 registration closes June 30. LEED v5 will be the only path forward after that.

What changed in LEED v5

  • Nearly half of available points now tie to carbon and emissions.
  • Construction IAQ Management is now a prerequisite. 
  • Embodied carbon must be quantified, which means tracking the right data from the right products at the right time.
  • Materials documentation is heavier than ever - more products, more sourcing data, more verification.

Everything You Need to Certify Under LEED v5 In One Place

We built Green Badger because we've seen what happens when documentation falls behind: credits get missed, certifications get delayed, and teams spend the final weeks of a project in damage control. LEED v5 makes that harder to recover from. We make sure you never get there.

step 1

Set up your project in minutes: Connect your credits, your team, and your contractors to one shared dashboard.

Collect documentation as the project moves EPDs, sourcing records, IAQ inspection logs, waste tracking, captured in real time as products are submitted and installed.

Walk into closeout with everything verified: no missing documents or surprises.
