New Marketing Guide: Mastering Product Alignment with LEED v5 Indoor Environmental Quality
As the green building industry embraces the latest LEED v5 standards, project teams are now required to prioritize occupant and worker well-being like never before. In LEED v5, indoor environmental quality (EQ) prerequisites have shifted from being best practices to baseline requirements—raising expectations for air quality, worker safety, and pollutant control.
To help the industry meet these increased standards, Bold Branch Collective has published the Quick Guide: LEED v5 Prerequisites Indoor Environmental Quality.
This guide is an essential marketing tool for manufacturers and service providers aiming to position their solutions as vital for healthier, higher-performing buildings. It identifies the products and services now critical for compliance, covering everything from HVAC systems to consulting expertise. It highlights that the new EQ prerequisites transform human health from a design goal into a baseline requirement, creating an urgent need for products and services that can demonstrate proven performance in filtration, sealing, monitoring, and comfort.
Key updates in LEED v5 EQ prerequisites:
EQp2: Fundamental Air Quality Performance—Upgraded: LEED v5 enhances indoor air quality standards, requiring higher ventilation and filtration levels, along with improved monitoring and response strategies.
EQp1: Construction-Phase Protection Required (Construction Management): These requirements now extend to protect both worker health and building materials during construction, mandating dust management, filtration, and material protection practices.
For manufacturers and service providers, the guide offers clear marketing strategies and a straightforward message: the market advantage goes to those who can prove their solutions deliver measurable improvements in air quality, safety, and comfort.
