LEED v5: What commercial flooring teams should prepare now
USGBC lists LEED v5 commercial registration routes and a July 2027 transition point. The practical task is version-controlled project documentation, not a generic ‘LEED-ready’ claim.
A certificate, declaration or material sheet only has value against the credit path and project date it is being used for. Keeping the requested version, product identity and document date together makes a specification review easier to audit.
