Many communities are turning to their public works leaders and asking for sustainability improvements. The Envision framework for sustainable infrastructure can be applied to all types of civil infrastructure projects. In the public works profession, we routinely implement sustainable practices into our projects. Envision provides a valuable lens to examine, assess, and recognize the sustainability and resilience performance of public works projects against industry best practices. The presenters will discuss how users can assess, measure, and track the sustainability and resilience performance of their projects throughout the project lifecycle. They will present the methodology used to apply Envision, beginning in early planning through procurement, design, and construction. This will include the initial development of an Envision roadmap, materiality assessment, the creation and implementation of a detailed sustainability management plan, and the ongoing tracking and management of sustainable performance metrics. After this session, participants will be able to:
• Apply Envision, a framework that APWA helped to develop with other industry partners.
• Identify the five credit categories of Envision and the intent and metrics covered in each.
• Characterize the steps to applying Envision on a public works project.
