This course presents fundamental principles and practices of sustainability in enhancing infrastructure projects. Over four weeks, you'll review the modern history of sustainability to establish the motivation for improving sustainable performance, and learn how the Envision framework can be used as a tool to support higher sustainability performance through better choices in infrastructure development. Examples from the portfolio of Envision-verified projects will illustrate improvements over conventional practices and expanded implementation of sustainability. This course will also address barriers that impede sustainability and guide participants in getting started with Envision through practical approaches drawn from the framework.
After completing the training, ENV SP candidates will understand how Envision works, how it can improve the sustainability of their projects, and be able to successfully apply it to assess project sustainability.
This training is hosted every Wednesday from 11:30AM - 2:00PM. Sessions will not be recorded and participants must attend live.
