Who: Watts

What: New Watts LEED v5 Product Selection Tool

Why: Simplifies product selection and documentation for building professionals navigating new LEED v5 requirements

With LEED v4 set to sunset and LEED v5 becoming required for new projects starting in June 2026, Watts has launched a LEED v5 Product Selection Tool, a new tool designed to help architects, engineers, designers, specifiers and sustainability professionals navigate updated credit categories and performance requirements to identify products from the expansive Watts portfolio of brands that support buildings in attaining LEED V5 certification and credits.

The tool enables professionals to build out relevant product solutions for their project, understand how specific water management and building system products fit within LEED credit categories, and generate a clear, shareable view of solutions that support LEED v5 certification requirements.

When using the tool, users can select a LEED credit category, and the table will populate with all Watts products that can help their project earn LEED points in that category.

Alternatively, users can search by product category or by a selected Watts brand to find the products that support their LEED-focused projects. The platform shows how each product contributes to LEED credits, either through direct alignment with credit requirements or when used with other products as part of a larger system or combined solution to meet the overall building performance goals.

“The new LEED v5 framework introduces a new three-pillar structure and updated credit categories that building professionals may not be well versed in it yet,” said Vas Gnanadoss, Product Sustainability Engineer, Watts. “This tool helps simplify the process for customers working on projects with LEED ambitions, making it easier for them to identify which Watts products fit within specific credit categories and ultimately achieve LEED v5 certification.”

The tool supports both early-stage planning and later-stage documentation needs. Users can generate downloadable PDF summaries of selected products and submit requests for LEED documentation or additional technical support from a Watts sustainability expert.
