How LEED v5 is transforming green building

LEED v5 is bringing the AEC industry a framework to further advance more aggressive embodied carbon reductions, support circularity, and increase overall resilience. As an energy nerd, I'm particularly excited about the new operational carbon and decarbonization planning, electrification, peak thermal load reduction, and grid interactive targets that align perfectly with the zero carbon, all-electric, and energy resilient design strategies employed by our team at Thornton Tomasetti. Please reach out with questions— Thornton Tomasetti is here to help support and make each project’s certification journey meaningful and seamless. #LEED #sustainability #resilience #zerocarbon #netzero

Shaping a Sustainable Tomorrow💚 ☀️We recently updated our tagline, from “Shaping Tomorrow” to “Shaping a Sustainable Tomorrow”, reflecting our commitment to delivering 100% green buildings by 2032. To bring this vision to life, we are launching our new series “Shaping a Sustainable Tomorrow,” a campaign designed to inform, inspire, and drive the sustainable transformation of the construction industry. 🌱Our first topic explores the #LEED Certification, the most recognized system for green building performance. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED ensures that buildings are designed and operated with efficiency, responsibility, and well-being at their core. 💡But why is #LEED so important ? Because it drives positive change across every dimension: environmental, human, and economic. LEED-certified buildings lower carbon emissions, use renewable resources, and protect biodiversity. They also improve indoor air quality, natural lighting, and occupant well-being, helping create healthier, more productive environments. Economically, they reduce operational costs, enhance property value, and align with global ESG and #sustainability standards. 🚀Below, we share essential insights on #LEED Certification, along with Archetype Group’s key projects that have achieved this global standard.

BREEAM Explained🌎 Sustainability in the built environment isn’t just about energy efficiency, but instead it's about designing spaces that work better for people, the planet, and long-term value. That’s what BREEAM helps to achieve. Its holistic framework encourages project teams to consider the social, environmental, and economic impacts of a building - from wellbeing and resource efficiency to circular design and biodiversity. We’re starting our new sustainability series by taking a closer look at BREEAM, one of the most established and globally recognised standards for sustainable building performance.

** LEED: Building Beyond Walls ** Many people think LEED is just about earning points. But in reality, LEED is about changing mindsets, about how we design, construct, and operate our buildings. A LEED-certified project is not only energy-efficient or water-saving, it’s a living system that reduces environmental impact while improving the well-being of everyone inside. Think of it this way: Every credit in LEED tells a story: - Energy & Atmosphere speaks of efficiency and innovation. - Materials & Resources focuses on responsibility and life-cycle thinking. - Indoor Environmental Quality ensures that sustainability is felt, not just measured. In the end, LEED isn’t a destination. It’s a framework that helps us build smarter, healthier, and more resilient communities. #LEED #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #EnvironmentalDesign #SmartConstruction
