LEED v5 pilot materials credits and industry pledges:
What MFRs & AECO teams need to know

By: Sustainable Minds • Apr 08, 2026

LEED v5 now includes three materials credits covering interior, MEP and exterior products. Alongside the BPSP credit and the aligned AIA Materials Pledge, two pilot credits expand coverage to all building products, each aligned with an industry pledge: the MEP 2040 Commitment and the ASLA Climate Action Plan.

Material & Resources Credit
1. Building Product Selection & Procurement (BPSP)

Material & Resources Pilot Credits
2. Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Products
3. Structure, Enclosure, Hardscape, and Other Building Materials

Manufacturers of MEP, structure, enclosure, hardscape, and other building materials: your prospects are prioritizing products with EPDs and other transparency documents — it’s in the pledges. These give you a competitive edge to win business and get your products into projects.

Exciting update, now live!
Real-time CMF & AIA Materials Pledge reports

Feels like magic (but it’s not). No manual steps. Reports are always available and update in real time as you add products to Projects.

We'll preview the LEED v5 status reports for all three material and low-emitting credits demonstrating how we’ve operationalized the Common Materials Framework (CMF) into live, actionable reporting.

Join us to learn how manufacturers can create product-specific and optimized EPDs and other transparency documents — and how AECO teams use them to document carbon and health performance, earn credits, and meet pledge commitments.

We'll demonstrate

  • For manufacturers: how products with EPDs and transparency documents get added to the most targeted AECO's Projects & Libraries via the Transparency Catalog.
  • For AECO teams: how Project Builder & Library presents those products and documents in real-time AIA Materials Pledge and LEED v5 status reports, giving instant clarity on progress toward credits and commitments.
