Integrative Process, Planning, and Assessments 整合过程、规划与评估

6 credits

Overview 概览

The Integrative Process, Planning, and Assessments (IP) category is the foundation of LEED v5 BD+C. It shifts projects away from isolated, linear decisions toward early, interdisciplinary, systems-based collaboration that identifies synergies before design begins. The category centers on four prerequisites (Climate Resilience Assessment, Human Impact Assessment, Carbon Assessment, and Tenant Guidelines for Core and Shell) plus two credits (Integrative Design Process, Green Leases). These assessments give teams a holistic, evidence-based understanding of natural hazards, human/social context, and whole-building carbon, which then guides planning, design, construction, and operations. Through this lens the category advances LEED v5's three goals: Decarbonization (via a 25-year carbon view across operations, refrigerants, embodied carbon, and transport); Quality of Life (by confronting equity, community health, and resilience to climate hazards); and Ecological Conservation and Restoration (by engaging the right expertise early to protect ecosystems and biodiversity).

“整合过程、规划与评估”(IP)类别是 LEED v5 BD+C 的基础。它推动项目摆脱孤立、线性的决策方式,转向在设计开始前就开展早期的跨学科、系统性协作,以识别各项系统之间的协同效应。该类别包含四个先决条件(气候韧性评估、人文影响评估、碳评估,以及针对核心与外壳项目的租户指南)和两个得分项(整合设计过程、绿色租赁)。这些评估让团队对自然灾害、人文与社会背景以及全建筑碳排放形成整体、基于证据的认识,从而指导后续的规划、设计、施工与运营。由此,该类别推进 LEED v5 的三大目标:脱碳(通过覆盖运营、制冷剂、隐含碳与交通的 25 年碳视角);生活质量(直面公平、社区健康及对气候灾害的韧性);以及生态保护与修复(在设计早期引入恰当的专业力量以保护生态系统与生物多样性)。

LT

Location and Transportation 区位与交通

5 credits

Overview 概览

The Location and Transportation (LT) category is the third-largest point opportunity in LEED v5 and guides projects toward an efficient, equitable, and low-carbon future by shaping land-use and mobility decisions before design begins. It rewards siting that leverages existing infrastructure, curbs urban sprawl, and connects people to jobs, services, and low-carbon travel. Under the three LEED v5 goals, LT advances Decarbonization by shifting occupants away from single-occupancy vehicles toward transit, active travel, and EVs; Quality of Life through equitable development, affordable housing proximity, and walkable, inclusive neighborhoods; and Ecological Conservation and Restoration by protecting sensitive lands, habitats, and natural carbon sinks from development pressure.

“位置与交通”(LT)类别是 LEED v5 中分值第三高的类别,通过在设计之前就决定用地与出行方式,引导项目走向高效、公平、低碳的未来。它鼓励利用既有基础设施选址、遏制城市蔓延,并让人们更便捷地通达就业、服务与低碳出行方式。围绕 LEED v5 的三大目标:在“脱碳”方面,推动使用者从单人驾车转向公共交通、主动出行和电动汽车;在“生活质量”方面,通过公平发展、可负担住房邻近度以及适宜步行、包容的社区来提升福祉;在“生态保护与修复”方面,通过保护敏感土地、栖息地与自然碳汇免受开发压力来实现。

Sustainable Sites 可持续场地

7 credits

Overview 概览

The Sustainable Sites (SS) category is the LEED v5 credit family most directly tied to ecological health and long-term resilience. Rather than only minimizing harm, it pushes projects to actively restore ecosystems and natural water cycles, protect healthy soils and native vegetation, and create green infrastructure that helps both people and wildlife thrive. It contains half of all LEED v5 resilience-related credits. Toward Decarbonization, SS reduces urban heat through tree canopy, shading, and reflective or vegetated roofs, lowering the energy and emissions burden of cooling. Toward Quality of Life, it promotes equitable, shaded, accessible outdoor spaces that offer community refuge during extreme heat. Toward Ecological Conservation and Restoration, all seven SS credits help conserve land and habitats, restore biodiversity, and steward natural resources through low-impact development and green infrastructure.

可持续场地(SS)类别是 LEED v5 中与生态健康和长期韧性最直接相关的得分族。它不仅要求尽量减少破坏,更推动项目主动修复生态系统与自然水循环、保护健康土壤与原生植被,并构建能让人类与野生动物共同受益的绿色基础设施。该类别涵盖了 LEED v5 一半以上的韧性相关得分点。在“脱碳”方面,SS 通过增加树冠、遮荫以及采用高反射或绿化屋顶来降低城市热岛,从而减轻制冷带来的能耗与碳排放。在“生活质量”方面,它倡导公平、有遮荫且可达的户外空间,在极端高温时成为社区庇护所。在“生态保护与修复”方面,全部 7 个 SS 得分点都通过低影响开发(LID)和绿色基础设施,帮助保护土地与栖息地、恢复生物多样性并可持续管理自然资源。

Water Efficiency 水资源效率

4 credits

Overview 概览

The Water Efficiency (WE) category reframes water as a finite, shared resource rather than an unlimited utility. It pushes projects beyond isolated component fixes toward a whole-site water strategy that couples proven efficiency measures with water-stewardship thinking. The category advances LEED v5's three goals: Decarbonization, by cutting the energy and carbon embedded in treating, pumping, heating, and distributing water; Quality of Life, by keeping potable supplies available for community resilience and enabling data-driven savings; and Ecological Conservation and Restoration, by easing pressure on stressed ecosystems and preventing waste through metering and leak detection. A standout feature is the whole-project water balance approach (WEc2), which assesses every end use across the site and rewards alternative (non-potable) sources, making stewardship a permanent, market-relevant part of LEED v5.

水资源效率(WE)类别将水重新定义为一种有限且共享的资源,而非取之不尽的公用设施。它推动项目超越孤立的部件改进,转向结合成熟节水措施与水资源管理思维的整体现场用水策略。该类别推进 LEED v5 的三大目标:脱碳(Decarbonization)——通过削减水处理、输送、加热和分配过程中的能源与碳排放;生活质量(Quality of Life)——保障社区韧性所需的饮用水供应,并以数据驱动的方式发现节水机会;生态保护与修复(Ecological Conservation and Restoration)——缓解对承压生态系统的压力,并通过计量与漏损检测防止浪费。其亮点是整项目水平衡方法(WEc2),即评估现场每一种用水末端并奖励替代(非饮用)水源,使水资源管理成为 LEED v5 中永久且贴合市场需求的组成部分。

二选一得 1 分。路径一子表计量:为各适用子系统安装永久水表(室内器具配件覆盖≥80%、灌溉、各补给水系统、日供餐≥100 份的商业厨房、年洗衣≥120,000 磅的洗衣房),数据可实时访问且至少每小时记录。路径二漏损检测传感器:在灌溉入口、≥50% 冲水器具及各补给水系统安装永久流量表/传感器,异常流量或检测到漏水时报警,并制定行动计划。医疗与住宅项目有专门要求。

Key Points 关键要点
  • Option 1 requires submetering of major subsystems; real-time access via BMS/cloud/app and hourly recording are mandatory.
  • Option 2 needs leak detection on irrigation entry, at least 50% of flush fixtures, and every makeup water system, with alarms and an action plan.
  • Healthcare projects must submeter five additional specialized subsystems (e.g., RO water, dietary, lab, surgical suite) or all applicable ones.
  • Residential projects meter each dwelling unit's total potable use; Core & Shell must provide future tenant metering (min. one meter per floor).

Enhanced Water Efficiency

New Construction: 1-8 points; Core and Shell: 1-7 points
Decarbonization · 脱碳Ecological Conservation and Restoration · 生态保护与修复
Intent 意图

To further reduce potable water consumption and its associated energy and carbon, and to reward the use of alternative water sources that preserve potable supplies.

进一步降低饮用水消耗及其相关能源与碳排放,并奖励使用能保护饮用水供应的替代水源。

Requirements 要求

Either pursue Option 1 Whole-Project Water Use (up to 8 NC / 7 C&S points via 30-65% reduction from a water-balance baseline, with extra points for alternative water), OR combine Options 2-6 (max 8/7 points): Option 2 Fixture/Fittings calculated reduction (30-40%, 1-3 pts); Option 3 Appliance/Process Water (1-2 pts); Option 4 Outdoor (No Irrigation 2-3 pts, or Efficient Irrigation 50-100% TIR, 1-3 pts); Option 5 Optimize Process Water (cooling tower cycles, cooling optimization, or alternative process water, 1-3 pts); Option 6 Water Reuse (reuse-ready 1 pt, or alternative water sources 2 pts). All use a USGBC calculator where applicable.

可走路径一整项目用水(NC 最高 8 分 / C&S 最高 7 分,在水平衡基准上降低 30%-65%,使用替代水源额外加分),或组合路径二至六(最高 8/7 分):路径二器具配件计算减排(30%-40%,1-3 分);路径三设备/工艺用水(1-2 分);路径四室外(无灌溉 2-3 分,或高效灌溉 TIR 降 50%-100%,1-3 分);路径五优化工艺用水(冷却塔循环、冷却优化或替代工艺水,1-3 分);路径六水回用(预留系统 1 分,或替代水源 2 分)。适用处均使用 USGBC 计算器。

Key Points 关键要点
  • Option 1 uses a whole-project water balance model comparing baseline vs. design-case; reductions of 30-65% earn 1-8 (NC) or 1-7 (C&S) points, with bonus points for alternative water use.
  • Options 2-6 can be mixed but cannot be combined with Option 1; fixture/fitting and outdoor savings build on the WEp2 baselines.
  • Option 5 rewards higher cooling-tower concentration cycles (via water analysis of Ca, alkalinity, SiO2, Cl-, conductivity) and alternative-water cooling strategies.
  • Option 6 promotes water reuse: a reuse-ready (future-capable) piping system earns 1 point, while implemented on-site or municipal reclaimed water earns 2 points.
  • Alternative water sources (graywater, rainwater, reclaimed, condensate, etc.) are central; efficiency should be prioritized before applying reuse solutions, and source quality must suit the end use.
  • 路径一采用整项目水平衡模型对比基准与设计工况;降低 30%-65% 可得 NC 1-8 分或 C&S 1-7 分,使用替代水源另有加分。
  • 路径二至六可混合,但不可与路径一并用;器具配件与室外节水均在 WEp2 基准之上累加。
  • 路径五奖励更高的冷却塔浓缩倍数(基于 Ca、碱度、SiO2、Cl-、电导率的用水分析)及替代水冷却策略。
  • 路径六鼓励水回用:预留(面向未来)回用管线系统得 1 分,已实施的现场或市政再生水得 2 分。
  • 替代水源(灰水、雨水、再生水、冷凝水等)是核心;应先提升效率再考虑回用,且水源水质须匹配用途。
EA

Energy and Atmosphere 能源与大气

12 credits

Overview 概览

The Energy and Atmosphere (EA) category sits at the heart of LEED v5's climate mission. Buildings drive roughly one-third of global energy-related emissions, so EA is designed to make low-carbon, resilient buildings achievable through early carbon literacy and a clear framework. It supplies more than half of the LEED v5 credits that support decarbonization. EA organizes its strategies into three critical steps—electrification (EAc1), reduced peak thermal loads (EAc2), and energy efficiency (EAp2, EAp3, EAp4)—plus four reinforcing strategies: enhanced commissioning (EAc5), renewable energy (EAc4), grid interactivity (EAc6), and refrigerant management (EAp5, EAc7). Together they advance LEED v5's three goals: Decarbonization (by shrinking and ultimately eliminating operational emissions); Quality of Life (by improving resilience, indoor and outdoor air quality, and community energy reliability); and Ecological Conservation and Restoration (by reducing the harms of fuel extraction, transport, and air pollution). A LEED v5 Platinum project is expected to show best-practice efficiency, eliminate on-site combustion except for emergency/backup needs, use 100% renewable energy, and reduce embodied carbon.

能源与大气(EA)类别处于 LEED v5 气候使命的核心。建筑约占全球能源相关排放的三分之一,因此 EA 旨在通过提升碳素养并提供清晰框架,让低碳、有韧性的建筑变得可实现。LEED v5 中超过一半的脱碳相关得分点集中于此。EA 将策略分为三个关键步骤——电气化(EAc1)、降低峰值热负荷(EAc2)和能效(EAp2、EAp3、EAp4)——以及四项强化策略:增强调试(EAc5)、可再生能源(EAc4)、电网互动(EAc6)和制冷剂管理(EAp5、EAc7)。它们共同推进 LEED v5 的三大目标:脱碳(逐步削减并最终消除运行排放);生活质量(提升建筑韧性、室内外空气品质与社区供能可靠性);生态保育与修复(减少燃料开采、运输与空气污染的危害)。LEED v5 铂级项目须达到行业最佳能效实践、除应急/备用外消除现场燃烧、使用 100% 可再生能源并降低隐含碳。

Operational Carbon Projection and Decarbonization Plan

New Construction and Core and Shell: Required (no points)
Decarbonization · 脱碳
Intent 意图

To let building stakeholders visualize how today's design decisions will affect long-term operational carbon emissions, and to ensure low-carbon outcomes are planned from a project's inception.

使建筑利益相关方能够直观了解当前设计决策对长期运行碳排放的影响,并确保从项目伊始就规划低碳成果。

Requirements 要求

Four components must all be met: (1) Design Analysis—analyze efficiency, peak-load reduction, and decarbonization measures early using a simplified energy model, analysis of similar projects, or published data; (2) Site Energy Estimate—estimate annual site energy by source and submit to USGBC; (3) Review Carbon Projection—USGBC generates a 25-year business-as-usual (BAU) projection assuming grids decarbonize ~95% over that period; projects subject to a building performance standard (BPS) must create an ordinance-specific BAU and calculate expected fees; (4) Decarbonization Plan—Path 1 requires earning 4 or 5 points in EAc1 Electrification, or Path 2 requires a narrative of no more than two pages describing future retrofits, timeline, cost, discarded equipment, and electrification-readiness strategies.

须同时满足四项:①设计分析——在设计早期采用简化能源模型、类似项目分析或公开数据,分析能效、峰值负荷削减与脱碳措施;②现场能源估算——按能源种类估算年度现场能耗并提交 USGBC;③审查碳预测——USGBC 生成 25 年「照常营业」(BAU)预测,假设电网在该期间脱碳约 95%,受建筑性能标准(BPS)约束的项目须制作符合法规的 BAU 并核算预期罚款;④脱碳计划——路径 1 须在 EAc1 电气化中获得 4 或 5 分,路径 2 须提交不超过两页的叙述,说明未来改造、时间表、成本、被淘汰设备及电气化就绪策略。

Key Points 关键要点
  • Electricity carbon falls toward zero by 2050 as grids decarbonize, but on-site combustion emissions stay constant—a key distinction for 2050 neutrality.
  • The BAU projection visualizes 25 years of emissions assuming no operational change; buildings not substantially electrified must plan future retrofits.
  • Smaller or less complex projects are not required to build a full energy model.
  • Electrification-readiness (oversized panels, conduit, enhanced envelope, low-temp distribution) reduces future retrofit cost and disruption.
  • Core and Shell analyzes anticipated tenant loads; Path 1 requires sufficient base-building systems to serve future tenants.
  • 随着电网脱碳,电力碳排放在 2050 年前趋近于零,而现场燃烧排放保持不变——这是实现 2050 中和的关键区别。
  • BAU 预测在「运营不变」假设下展示 25 年排放;未充分电气化的建筑须规划未来改造。
  • 较小或较简单的项目不强制要求建立完整能源模型。
  • 电气化就绪(加大配电盘、预留管线、强化围护、低温配送)可降低未来改造的成本与扰动。
  • 核心与外壳项目须分析预期租户负荷;路径 1 要求基础建筑系统足以服务未来租户。

Minimum Energy Efficiency

New Construction and Core and Shell: Required (no points)
Decarbonization · 脱碳
Intent 意图

To promote resilience and reduce the environmental and economic harms of excessive energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by achieving a minimum level of energy efficiency.

通过达到最低能效水平,提升韧性并减少过度能耗与温室气体排放带来的环境和经济危害。

Requirements 要求

Choose Option 1 (ASHRAE 90.1-2019 with Addendum cr) or Option 2 (ASHRAE 90.1-2022). Projects registering on or after January 1, 2028 must use the 2022 version. Compliance follows one of the ASHRAE 90.1 Section 4.2.1 paths: Prescriptive Method, Energy Cost Budget (ECB) Method, or Appendix G Performance Rating Method (PRM). For PRM, teams may substitute a future source energy metric (electric site-to-source factor of 2.0) for cost. A building-envelope backstop limits envelope trade-offs. All mandatory provisions (Sections 5.4–10.4) must be met. ASHRAE 90.1-2022 adds Section 11 Additional Efficiency Requirements, a prescriptive on-site renewable requirement (with exceptions), and thermal-bridging provisions. IECC 2021 and 2024 are approved equivalents.

选择方案 1(ASHRAE 90.1-2019 含 Addendum cr)或方案 2(ASHRAE 90.1-2022)。2028 年 1 月 1 日及之后注册的项目必须使用 2022 版。合规采用 ASHRAE 90.1 第 4.2.1 节的路径之一:规定性方法、能源成本预算(ECB)方法或附录 G 性能评级方法(PRM)。在 PRM 中可用未来源能源指标(电力站点-源转换系数 2.0)替代成本。围护结构回退条款限制围护交易。所有强制性条款(第 5.4–10.4 节)均须满足。ASHRAE 90.1-2022 新增第 11 节「附加能效要求」、规定性现场可再生能源要求(含例外)以及热桥条款。IECC 2021 与 2024 为等效标准。

Key Points 关键要点
  • ASHRAE 90.1-2022 yields about 14% net average site-energy savings versus 2019.
  • Prescriptive = system-by-system compliance; ECB and PRM allow whole-building trade-offs but keep an envelope backstop.
  • On-site renewable is prescriptively required in 90.1-2022 (avg >4% savings) with exceptions for poor solar access, small buildings, and low-carbon grids.
  • The PRM performance index scale runs from 1 (minimal 90.1-2004 compliance) to 0 (net zero).
  • Using a single ASHRAE version across EAp2, EAp3, and EAp4 streamlines documentation.
  • ASHRAE 90.1-2022 较 2019 版实现约 14% 的净平均现场节能。
  • 规定性方法逐系统合规;ECB 与 PRM 允许整体权衡,但须保留围护回退。
  • 90.1-2022 规定性要求现场可再生能源(平均节能 >4%),例外包括太阳能条件差、小型建筑及低碳电网。
  • PRM 性能指标(PI)标尺从 1(最低 90.1-2004 合规)到 0(净零)。
  • 在 EAp2、EAp3、EAp4 中统一采用同一 ASHRAE 版本可简化文件工作。

Fundamental Commissioning

New Construction and Core and Shell: Required (no points)
Decarbonization · 脱碳
Intent 意图

To improve energy performance and limit greenhouse gas emissions by verifying that building systems operate according to the owner's project requirements (OPR).

通过核验建筑各系统按业主项目需求(OPR)运行,改善能效并限制温室气体排放。

Requirements 要求

Comply with ASHRAE 90.1 commissioning (Section 4.2.5) for building systems, controls, and envelope, with no exceptions to 4.2.5.2. Referenced standard: 2019 or later for pre-2028 registrations, 2022 or later for on/after 2028. The owner must designate a commissioning provider (CxP) by the end of design development, with experience on at least two similar projects. The CxP develops/updates the OPR (covering HVAC, service water heating, power, lighting, other equipment including on-site renewables, and envelope), reviews the basis of design, attends design meetings, reviews submittals, attends 50% and 100% milestone meetings, performs a sample QA/QC review of at least 10% of contractor documents, and develops an ongoing commissioning plan. Achieving EAc5 Option 1 automatically satisfies this prerequisite.

遵循 ASHRAE 90.1 第 4.2.5 节对建筑系统、控制与围护的调试要求,且不得援引 4.2.5.2 例外。参考标准:2028 年前注册用 2019 或更新版,2028 年及之后用 2022 或更新版。业主须在设计开发阶段结束前指定调试服务商(CxP),其须具备至少两个类似项目的经验。CxP 制定/更新 OPR(涵盖暖通空调、生活热水、电力、照明、含现场可再生能源的其他设备以及围护),审查设计依据,参加设计会议,审查送审文件,出席 50% 与 100% 里程碑会议,对至少 10% 承包文件进行抽样 QA/QC 审查,并制定持续调试计划。达成 EAc5 方案 1 即自动满足本先决条件。

Key Points 关键要点
  • The CxP must be independent of the design/construction team, with documented conflict-of-interest handling if affiliated.
  • Verification and Testing (V&T) providers perform functional performance testing and envelope air-leakage testing.
  • Commissioned systems span envelope, HVAC, service water heating, power, lighting, on-site renewables, monitoring, refrigeration, and storage.
  • Whole-building air-leakage testing is required for buildings under 25,000 sq ft under ASHRAE 90.1-2022.
  • Core and Shell commissions only systems within the base-building scope and defers tests tied to future tenant equipment.
  • CxP 须独立于设计与施工团队,如有关联须书面说明利益冲突处理方式。
  • 验证与测试(V&T)服务商负责功能性能测试及围护气密性测试。
  • 调试系统涵盖围护、暖通空调、生活热水、电力、照明、现场可再生能源、监测、制冷与储能。
  • 按 ASHRAE 90.1-2022,小于 25,000 平方英尺的建筑须进行整栋气密性测试。
  • 核心与外壳仅调试基础建筑范围内的系统,并推迟与未来租户设备相关的测试。

Energy Metering and Reporting

New Construction and Core and Shell: Required (no points)
Decarbonization · 脱碳
Intent 意图

To support energy management practices and facilitate identification of ongoing opportunities for energy and GHG savings by tracking and reporting building energy use and demand.

通过追踪并报告建筑能耗与需量,支撑能源管理实践并便于识别持续的节能与减碳机会。

Requirements 要求

Two parts: (1) Energy Monitoring and Recording—install/use devices per ASHRAE 90.1 (version by registration date) to monitor and record energy by source, including separately metered on-site renewable generation. Small buildings (<25,000 sf commercial; <10,000 sf residential common space) and major renovations need only monthly whole-building source metering plus peak demand. ASHRAE-subject projects require 15-minute interval metering of total electricity and submetering (HVAC, interior/exterior lighting, receptacles; 90.1-2022 adds refrigeration), data retention of 36 months, hourly/daily/monthly/annual reporting, graphic display for digital-control buildings, and tenant submetering above 10,000 sf. (2) Report Energy Data—commit to annually reporting to USGBC for at least five years: monthly data for 12 months, consumption by source, on-site renewable generation, and peak electrical demand.

两部分:①能源监测与记录——按 ASHRAE 90.1(依注册日期选版本)安装/使用设备按能源种类监测记录能耗,含单独计量的现场可再生能源发电。小型建筑(商用 <25,000 平方英尺;住宅公共区域 <10,000 平方英尺)与重大改造仅需按月记录整栋分项能耗及峰值需量。受 ASHRAE 约束的项目须以 15 分钟间隔计量总用电及分项(暖通、室内/外照明、插座;90.1-2022 增制冷),数据保留 36 个月,支持按时/日/月/年报告,数字化控制建筑须图形显示,大于 10,000 平方英尺租户须分项计量。②报告能源数据——承诺至少五年每年向 USGBC 报告:连续 12 个月月度数据、各能源种类消耗量、现场可再生发电量及峰值电力需量。

Key Points 关键要点
  • Plan submetering early—late electrical design changes substantially raise cost.
  • On-site renewables must be separately metered (15-minute for ASHRAE projects; monthly for small/renovation).
  • Reporting to USGBC enables benchmarking across the LEED portfolio and links with ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.
  • Submetering EV charging is recommended so it can be excluded from efficiency calculations.
  • Residential projects may use per-dwelling meters plus central common-area metering in lieu of whole-building reporting.
  • 须尽早规划分项计量——后期电气设计变更会显著推高成本。
  • 现场可再生能源须单独计量(ASHRAE 项目 15 分钟间隔;小型/改造项目按月)。
  • 向 USGBC 报告可在 LEED 组合中实现对标,并与 ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager 对接。
  • 建议对电动汽车充电设施单独分项计量,以便从能效计算中剔除。
  • 住宅项目可用逐户计量加公共区域集中计量替代整栋报告。

Fundamental Refrigerant Management

New Construction and Core and Shell: Required (no points)
Decarbonization · 脱碳
Intent 意图

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from refrigerants by accelerating the phaseout of high-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants and by reducing refrigerant leakage.

通过加速淘汰高全球变暖潜值(GWP)制冷剂并减少制冷剂泄漏,降低制冷剂产生的温室气体排放。

Requirements 要求

Option 1 (No Refrigerants): use no refrigerant equipment (devices under 0.5 lb are exempt). Option 2 (Refrigerants) requires: a complete refrigerant inventory (type, GWP, charge, total GWP) for all equipment in scope plus existing owner equipment; no HCFC refrigerants in new equipment; evaluation of alternatives during design for any refrigerant with GWP > 700; and a leak check and repair prior to substantial completion (with vacuum/pressure testing for field-assembled joints before charging). Renovations must properly recover, recycle, reclaim, or destroy removed refrigerants per EPA/EC regulations.

方案 1(无制冷剂):不使用含制冷剂设备(低于 0.5 磅的设备豁免)。方案 2(含制冷剂)须:对范围内所有设备及业主既有设备建立完整制冷剂清单(种类、GWP、充注量、总 GWP);新设备不得采用 HCFC 制冷剂;对 GWP > 700 的制冷剂在设计阶段评估替代方案;在实质性完工前进行检漏与修复(现场拼接管路在充注前须做真空/压力测试)。改造项目须按 EPA/欧盟法规对拆除的制冷剂进行回收、再利用、再处理或销毁。

Key Points 关键要点
  • GWP is assessed per IPCC AR4 or later; common high-GWP examples include R-410A (2088) and R-134a (1430), while natural refrigerants (R-290, R-744 CO2, R-717 ammonia) are near zero.
  • Develop a list of GWP ≤ 700 alternatives early; if >700 is impractical, consider reclaimed refrigerant.
  • Equipment under 0.5 lb (e.g., residential refrigerators) is excluded from the inventory.
  • Field-assembled piping needs vacuum and pressure testing to limit leakage.
  • Core and Shell inventories base-building and owner equipment, excluding tenant equipment not in scope.
  • GWP 按 IPCC 第四次评估报告或更新版评估;常见高 GWP 如 R-410A(2088)、R-134a(1430),天然制冷剂(R-290、R-744 CO2、R-717 氨)接近零。
  • 尽早制定 GWP ≤ 700 的替代清单;若 >700 不可行,可考虑再生制冷剂。
  • 低于 0.5 磅的设备(如住宅冰箱)不计入清单。
  • 现场拼接管路须做真空与压力测试以控制泄漏。
  • 核心与外壳仅统计基础建筑及业主设备,不含范围外的租户设备。

Electrification

New Construction: 1–5 points (5 required for NC Platinum); Core and Shell: 1–4 points (4 required for CS Platinum)
Decarbonization · 脱碳
Intent 意图

To encourage building design that avoids on-site fuel combustion, which improves indoor and outdoor air quality and enables low-carbon operations as the grid decarbonizes.

鼓励建筑设计避免现场燃料燃烧,从而改善室内外空气品质,并在电网脱碳过程中实现低碳运营。

Requirements 要求

New Construction: Option 1 (No On-Site Combustion, 5 points) requires no on-site combustion except emergency support, with a combined weighted-average COP of at least 1.8 for space heating and service water heating. Option 2 (No On-Site Combustion Except at Low Temperatures, 1–4 points) combines Path 1 Space Heating (2), Path 2 Service Water Heating (1), and Path 3 Cooking/Other Process (1); climate zones 3+ need ≥1.8 COP for heating. Core and Shell offers Electrification (Path 1 no combustion 3–4 pts; Path 2 low-temp 1–3 pts; Path 3 limited scope 1–2 pts) or Electrification Readiness (1 pt) with infrastructure for future heat pumps. Fuel cells using fossil fuel and CHP are ineligible. Low temperature means outside-air dry-bulb below 20°F (−6.5°C).

新建筑:方案 1(无现场燃烧,5 分)要求除应急支持外无现场燃烧,且空间供暖与生活热水的加权平均 COP 至少 1.8。方案 2(除低温外无现场燃烧,1–4 分)可组合路径 1 空间供暖(2 分)、路径 2 生活热水(1 分)、路径 3 烹饪/其他工艺(1 分);3 区及以上供暖须 ≥1.8 COP。核心与外壳提供电气化(路径 1 无燃烧 3–4 分;路径 2 低温 1–3 分;路径 3 有限范围 1–2 分)或电气化就绪(1 分,预留未来热泵基础设施)。使用化石燃料的燃料电池及热电联产不符合资格。低温指室外空气干球温度低于 20°F(−6.5°C)。

Key Points 关键要点
  • The 1.8 COP threshold steers projects toward efficient heat pumps rather than electric resistance heating, limiting added grid peak demand.
  • Some equipment is excluded from the COP calculation: climate zones 0–2 heating, supplemental low-temperature heating, and compliant nonresidential point-of-use water heaters.
  • Exemptions allow combustion for emergency support, limited portable equipment, and special cases (e.g., wood-fired ovens with emissions control, lab equipment).
  • Platinum requires full electrification (5 NC / 4 CS points).
  • Weighted-average COP can be shown via a streamlined method, energy simulation, or rated capacities.
  • 1.8 的 COP 门槛引导项目采用高效热泵而非电阻加热,以限制新增电网峰值需量。
  • 部分设备不计入 COP:0–2 区供暖、补充性低温供暖,以及合规的非住宅即热式水加热器。
  • 例外允许应急支持、有限的便携式设备以及特殊情况(如带排放控制的柴火炉、实验室设备)使用燃烧。
  • 铂级要求完全电气化(新建筑 5 分 / 核心与外壳 4 分)。
  • 加权平均 COP 可通过简化法、能源模拟或额定容量法证明。

  • The prescriptive path is a new LEED v5 alternative to energy modeling—no simulation required for regulated loads.
  • Use the same ASHRAE 90.1 version and compliance method as EAp2 to streamline documentation.
  • Option 2 deliberately prioritizes efficiency: Path 2 (including renewables) thresholds are more than three times stricter than Path 1.
  • Eligible Section 11 measures for points are HVAC (H01–H07), SWH (W01–W09), lighting (L01–L06), and building mass/night flush (G07); envelope (E01) and renewables (R01) are rewarded elsewhere.
  • Plug/process loads represent 30–50% of building energy and are addressed via dashboards, ENERGY STAR equipment, or exceptional calculations.
  • 规定性路径是 LEED v5 新增的替代能源模拟之法——受控负荷无需建模。
  • 与 EAp2 采用同一 ASHRAE 90.1 版本与合规方法可简化文件。
  • 方案 2 刻意优先能效:计入可再生(路径 2)的门槛比排除(路径 1)严格三倍以上。
  • 可获积分的第 11 节措施为暖通(H01–H07)、生活热水(W01–W09)、照明(L01–L06)及建筑蓄热/夜间通风(G07);围护(E01)与可再生(R01)在其他条款奖励。

Materials and Resources 材料与资源

7 credits

Overview 概览

The Materials and Resources (MR) category steers LEED v5 projects toward lower embodied carbon, healthier interiors, and a circular economy. It shifts the market from single-issue solutions to multi-attribute product selection, rewarding transparent, disclosed, and verified material information. The credits advance LEED v5's three goals: Decarbonization is pursued through embodied carbon quantification, reduction (WBLCA and EPD analysis), jobsite emissions tracking, reuse, and waste diversion; Quality of Life is supported by low-emitting materials and products selected for green chemistry, human health, and supply-chain equity; and Ecological Conservation and Restoration is served by reuse, landfill diversion, methane reduction, and virgin-resource preservation. By harmonizing terminology with initiatives such as ECHO, Mindful Materials, and the AIA Materials Pledge, the category makes compliant materials more accessible while driving immediate, high-impact industry change.

材料与资源(MR)类别引导 LEED v5 项目降低隐含碳、改善室内环境健康并迈向循环经济。它将市场从单一指标方案转向多属性产品选择与采购,鼓励材料信息的透明披露与第三方验证。该类别推进 LEED v5 三大目标:减碳通过隐含碳量化与减排(WBLCA 与 EPD 分析)、施工现场排放追踪、材料再利用及废弃物分流实现;生活质量通过低释放材料和兼顾绿色化学、人体健康与供应链公平的产品选择来保障;生态保护与修复则通过再利用、减少填埋、降低甲烷排放以及保护原生资源来实现。借助与 ECHO、Mindful Materials 及 AIA 材料承诺等倡议的统一术语,该类别让合规材料更易获取,并推动行业即时、高影响力的转变。

量化项目结构、围护与硬景的隐含碳(GWP),识别并评估隐含碳的主要来源。

Requirements 要求

Required for New Construction and Core and Shell. Two components: (1) Embodied Carbon — quantify cradle-to-gate (A1–A3) GWP for structure, enclosure, and hardscape materials (including asphalt, concrete, masonry, steel, insulation, aluminum, wood, cladding, glass, and any ancillary structures). Use specific EPDs, EPA defaults, CLF baselines, or industry-wide EPDs per a data hierarchy; reused/salvaged materials count as zero A1–A3 GWP. (2) High-Priority Sources — identify the top three embodied carbon contributors and describe strategies considered to reduce them. May be met via MRc2 outputs. Core and Shell must share measurements and suppliers in tenant guidelines.

新建与核心外壳项目均为必需。包含两部分:(1) 隐含碳——量化结构、围护与硬景材料(含沥青、混凝土、砌体、钢材、保温、铝、木材、幕墙、玻璃及附属结构)从摇篮到大门(A1–A3)的 GWP;按数据层级使用具体 EPD、EPA 默认值、CLF 基准或行业 EPD;再利用/回收材料 A1–A3 计为零。(2) 高优先级来源——列出前三大隐含碳排放源,并说明考虑的减碳策略。可由 MRc2 的成果满足。核心外壳须在租户指南中共享数据与供应商信息。

Overview 概览

The Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) category helps project teams create buildings that support human health, comfort, and well-being through established practices for air quality, thermal comfort, daylight and views, and acoustics, plus holistic design considerations such as biophilia, accessibility, adaptability, and responsiveness. It advances LEED v5's three goals: Decarbonization is supported indirectly because energy efficiency, renewable energy, and an Integrated Design Process reduce fossil-fuel use and co-benefit outdoor air quality, especially in neighborhoods near highways or power plants; Quality of Life is the central focus, with human-centric strategies that protect occupants from routine and episodic pollution (e.g., wildfire smoke, respiratory disease) and support diverse users including older adults, children, caregivers, and people with disabilities; and Ecological Conservation and Restoration is fostered through dynamic spaces that connect people to daylight, views, and nature via biophilic placemaking. Together, EQ prerequisites and credits keep indoor spaces healthy and restorative even under adverse conditions, building a sense of belonging and stewardship toward the built and natural environment.

室内环境质量(EQ)类别帮助项目团队营造有利于人体健康、舒适与福祉的建筑,涵盖空气质量、热舒适、日光与视野、声学等成熟做法,并融合亲自然设计、无障碍、适应性与响应性等整体设计考量。它推进 LEED v5 的三大目标:在“脱碳”方面,能效、可再生能源与整合设计流程可减少化石燃料使用,并连带改善室外空气质量(尤其对临近高速公路或电厂的社区有益),属间接受益;“生活质量”是核心重点,以人为中心的做法保护使用者免受常规与突发污染(如野火烟霾、呼吸道疾病),并支持老年人、儿童、照护者与残障人士等多元人群;“生态保护与修复”则通过动态空间将人与日光、景观和自然相连,以亲自然场所营造强化情感联结。EQ 的先决条件与得分项共同确保室内空间即便在不利条件下仍保持健康与疗愈力,培养人们对建成与自然环境的归属感与守护意识。

Project Priorities 项目优先事项

2 credits

Overview 概览

The Project Priorities (PP) category replaces the former Innovation category from earlier LEED versions. Its purpose is to give project teams greater freedom to pursue goals that matter most to their unique context—such as building typology, culture, location, and specific performance targets. Rather than a fixed set of credits, USGBC can continuously add new strategies to the Project Priority Library, letting LEED respond quickly to new technologies and emerging best practices without waiting for the next full version. The category supports several achievement routes: regional or geographically sensitive priorities, sector-specific project-type credits, exemplary performance, pilot credits, and brand-new innovation strategies. By rewarding projects that address their own priorities, PP advances LEED v5's three goals—decarbonization, quality of life, and ecological conservation and restoration—while keeping the rating system adaptable and forward-looking.

Project Priorities(PP,项目优先事项)类别取代了早期 LEED 版本中的 Innovation(创新)类别。其目的是赋予项目团队更大的自由度,去追求最契合其独特背景的目标,例如建筑类型、文化、地理位置以及特定的性能指标。USGBC 可不断向 Project Priority Library(项目优先库)中加入新策略,使 LEED 能在不等待下一完整版本的情况下,快速响应新技术与新兴最佳实践。该类别提供多条达标路径:区域敏感型优先事项、面向特定行业的项目类型得分点、卓越表现、试点得分点,以及全新的创新策略。通过奖励那些解决自身优先事项的项目,PP 推动了 LEED v5 的三大目标——脱碳、生活质量与生态保护及修复——同时让评级体系保持灵活与前瞻。
