“LEED v5: I'm super excited about it. I am so happy they've incorporated resilience. It is not the same as sustainability, and very important, also the equity, inclusion, and also, for someone like me, who's very heavily interested in materials, the fact that they have reorganized the materials category on the scorecard. I think is going to be very helpful going forward.”
