LEED v5: How Does It Amplify IT/OT Convergence? Are you ready to align with the future of green building standards?
7.
LEED v5, launched in 2025, prioritizes IT/OT convergence for sustainable buildings, focusing on decarbonization, occupant wellness, and conservation. It requires real-time data integration via IoT, AI analytics, and PoE networks. The LEED v5 framework is designed to drive the market towards a near-zero carbon reality that is equitable, resilient, and that promotes the wise, safe use of all resources. At its core, LEED v5 focuses on three key impact areas: Decarbonation, Quality of Life, and Ecological Conservation

LEED v5 in Relation to IT/OT Convergence LEEDv1 was established in 1998. With every iteration growing more rigorous in energy efficiency. Unlike LEED v4’s static approach, LEED v5 mandates dynamic, secure IT/OT systems for prerequisites like Operational Carbon Projection, while optimizing energy, security, and occupant experiences.
IT/OT Convergence Cornerstone of performance- based outcomes, enabling dynamic, data-driven sustainability and occupant wellness.
Cybersecurity Focus Strong emphasis on cybersecurity in converged networks to protect smart systems, aligning with resilience credits
