The Integrative Process, Planning, and Assessments (IP) category in LEED v5 establishes a foundational shift toward holistic, people-centered, and data-informed project planning. This course examines how LEED v5 integrates climate resilience, social equity, carbon awareness, and operational readiness into early decision-making across building life cycles.
Participants will explore the required prerequisites and credits within the IP category, including Climate Resilience Assessment, Human Impact Assessment, Carbon Assessment, Integrative Design Process, Green Leases, operational planning, and worker safety. The course explains how these elements apply differently across BD+C, ID+C, and O+M rating systems, emphasizing alignment with project scope and responsibility.
Through clear explanations, fictional project examples, reflection prompts, and documentation guidance, learners will see how integrative planning supports decarbonization, quality of life, and ecosystem conservation without positioning sustainability as an afterthought. Designed for professionals pursuing LEED CE hours, this course focuses on understanding intent, requirements, and practical applicationโhelping teams plan smarter, coordinate earlier, and lead with purpose under LEED v5.
