Description: The Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) Envision™ is the product of a joint collaboration between the Zofnass Program for Sustainable Infrastructure at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure.

Envision™ provides a holistic framework for evaluating and rating the community, environmental, and economic benefits of all types and sizes of infrastructure projects.

The Envision™ Rating System evaluates, grades, and gives recognition to infrastructure projects that use transformational, collaborative approaches to assess the sustainability indicators over the course of the project's life cycle.

Envision™ can be used by infrastructure owners, design teams, community groups, environmental organizations, constructors, regulators, and policy makers.

This session will discuss the purpose of the new tool, who should use it and how it can help your agency.

After viewing this program, participants will be better able to:
* Identify how to make a project more sustainable
* Successfully submit a project to ISI
* Earn the ENV PV professional credential
