This session brings together leading developers and sustainability consultants who will walk through hypothetical data center projects applying the new LEED v5 BD+C rating system. Each participant presents a distinct use case—ranging from hyperscale facilities to colocation centers—demonstrating how to navigate specific credits, overcome implementation challenges, and identify strategic opportunity areas within the updated framework. The discussion provides actionable insights into credit synergies, documentation requirements, and cost-benefit analyses, equipping attendees with practical knowledge to successfully pursue LEED v5 certification for their own data center projects.
