From APWA National's Click and Learn Program

If you’ve wanted to know more about the new rating tool available from the Institute for Sustainability (ISI) you have your chance on June 14. Registration is still open for the Click, Listen and Learn program, The New ISI Sustainability Rating System. This two-hour program is scheduled for 8:00am Pacific on Thursday.


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

For speaker information and to register go to http://www.apwa.net/Events/items/5367/The-New-ISI-Sustainability-Rating-System
