What changed in the current exam cycle

  • LEED v5 commercial systems (including O+M) launched in 2025; LEED AP specialty exams transition toward v5 content through 2026 beta/final windows.
  • O+M emphasizes performance periods, ongoing reporting, and existing-building operations rather than new-construction design credits.
  • Energy and Atmosphere and Indoor Environmental Quality remain the heaviest specialty domains for O+M.

High-yield facts (commonly tested)

  • Specialty exam: 100 MCQ in 2 hours; scaled pass 170/200.
  • Active LEED Green Associate is required for the specialty-only registration path.
  • Study operations performance periods, metering, retro-/monitoring-based commissioning, waste diversion, and IAQ operations — not BD+C design modeling alone.
  • Verify whether your test date is still v4-aligned or v5-aligned using the current GBCI/USGBC handbook.
