LEED v5 and WELL v2 Crosswalks for IAQ Monitoring

Thanks to the alignment between LEED v5 and WELL v2, projects can now pursue dual certification with a single deployment of indoor air quality monitors.

The continuous monitoring requirements for LEED v5 O+M directly satisfy several features in the WELL v2 Air concept, allowing projects to "double dip" with their monitoring investment.

How Does LEED v5 Streamline Dual Certification?

Historically, LEED and WELL had different testing methodologies, forcing projects to invest in multiple solutions to earn both certifications. LEED v5 bridges this gap by adopting performance-based, continuous monitoring standards that mirror WELL v2.

• Shared Parameters: Projects earn points in both certifications by monitoring PM2.5, CO2, and TVOC with building-grade air quality monitors. 
• Hardware Efficiency: You can use the same RESET Grade B-certified monitors to report data for both certifications simultaneously.

To learn more about how LEED v5 incentivizes continuous monitoring and how to maximize your points for IAQ, read our comprehensive guide to IAQ monitoring in LEED v5.

What Are the IAQ Crosswalks Between LEED v5 and WELL v2?

The table below highlights the crosswalks and potential points for LEED v5 O+M and WELL v2 by installing air quality monitors that measure three key parameters.
