Envision™

This webinar will introduce participants to the Envision™ sustainable infrastructure rating system criteria, provide interactive computer-based experience using the rating system, discuss the advantages and challenges of using Envision™ through past case studies, and give an update on how the system has been implemented to-date. The webinar will include a mix of presentations, audience polls, and Q&A discussions. Upon completion, attendees will know how to utilize the EnvisionTM Checklist and full rating system Workbook to aid in sustainable planning and design of their projects.

Background: Unlike LEED for green buildings, Envision™

is applicable to all types of infrastructure projects: roads, pipelines, pump stations, stormwater facilities, treatment plants, etc. In addition, Envision™ takes a new track by establishing a holistic framework for evaluating and rating infrastructure projects against the needs and values of the community; ensuring that the true sustainability of tomorrow's infrastructure is addressed by considering the entire life cycle of projects at a systems level.

There are no prerequisites; however, attendees are encouraged to go to ISI's website (www.sustainableinfrastructure.org) to become familiar with ISI and review the Envision tools. Users can request a free login to access the Envision Checklist, Rating System, and Guidance Manual.

After viewing this program, participants will be better able to:

Implement the Envision™ Checklist.
Navigate the Envision™ rating system.
Determine the applicability of using Envision™ on your infrastructure projects

This program has been approved for .2 CEUs or 2 PDHs. Please note there is a $7 fee per non-member individual requesting CEUs - there is no fee for members.
