Regarding the LEED v5 scorecard itself, and the certified "levels" of LEED:
Remove the term and level of “Certified” – which conflicts with the terminology of being LEED certified (certified “Certified”!), and LEED "certifiable". Use only Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Or, at least change "certified" title back again to a metal color such as bronze. Or eliminate this lowest level altogether.

Every and all 3rd party standard that is cited by LEED should be available in a USGBC-provided database listed by prereq’s and credit name. And they should be free. Provide for free when payment is made for LEED registration.

All version-specific Forms should be available in one simple download, rather than having to search out each one. These are used for reference when compiling the credit, and with consultants and owners.
