Speakers: Grace Cameron, Meghna Roy, & Tyler Friedman

This session introduces emerging professionals to the LEED v5 framework through real-world planning and design examples aligned with its core priorities. By analyzing projects that predate or operate outside of LEED v5 certification, the session highlights how many of the framework’s key themes—such as decarbonization, resilience, equity, and human health—are already embedded in practice. Through case-based discussion, participants will build foundational LEED skills, learn how to identify and translate these principles into future projects, and better understand how the framework builds on existing approaches in the field. This session is designed as an introductory, skills-building opportunity for those new to LEED.
