The Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) released the Envision® guidance and rating system for sustainable infrastructure in 2012 as a collection of best practices to help infrastructure professionals make better decisions during the lifecycle of infrastructure. It allows for and encourages professionals to consider the triple bottom line, the concepts of impact to the environment, to the people, and to the economy.
The City of Richmond is now requiring the use of Envision on infrastructure projects.
.
Envision addresses 64 concepts, or credits, organized into five categories: Quality of Life, Leadership, Resource Allocation, Natural World, and Climate and Resilience. The definitions, goals, and scoring values are all detailed in the free to access guidance manual, online scoresheet, and pre-assessment checklist. Envision is free to use in project planning and design and to self-assess projects for a score. The ISI offers a third-party project review and award program on a fee basis.
.
The Envision Sustainability Professional (ENV SP) credential is available to professionals who study the rating system, attend formal training, and pass an exam. Projects submitted for Envision certification must have an ENV SP on their team. Holding the credential indicates a level of proficiency in the Envision concepts, incorporation in projects, and preparing project certification packages.
.
Envision training is an 8-hour course delivered by Envision Trainers. Following completion of the course and self-study of the Envision Guidance Manual, attendees are eligible to take the Envision exam to earn the credential.
.
This is a rare opportunity to attend Envision training in-person in central Virginia.
