Registering LEED v5 in the redesigned Arc Platform

- LEED v5
- Theme
- Certification updates
The newly launched LEED v5 rating systems will use a redesigned Arc platform for registration and certification, offering fluidity and flexibility for users. With Arc, all performance, certification and reporting will be delivered in one place.
Clients should use their current USGBC website credentials to access Arc. Canadian project teams will notice that Arc reflects CAGBC membership by accurately charging Canadian project fees in Canadian dollars. It also includes the relevant CAGBC Certification Agreement in the registration process. This platform will continue to evolve as LEED v5 forms and other tools become available later this year. At that time, USGBC will also open certification functionality for LEED O+M, followed by ID+C and BD+C.
Project teams can register their projects in Arc here.
LEED v4 and v4.1 projects should continue to use LEED Online for certification, and LEED v4.1 Recertification projects will continue to use the legacy Arc platform. Registration for LEED v4 will remain open until early 2026.
