Building and infrastructure projects are requiring high quality integrated sustainability plans. Two Trails now offers clients the opportunity to achieve an Envision Certification for all infrastructure projects. Our COO Drew Smith has over 20 years of experience working on sustainable building projects and now can add the Envision Sustainability Professional (ENV SP) credential to his long list of sustainable credentials. He can successfully guide clients through the Envision verification process, providing clients the education they need to understand every milestone along the way. This is a wonderful opportunity to communicate a sustainability narrative to regulators and the public at large.
What is Envision?
Envision Certification measures the sustainability of infrastructure projects. Project owners can use the framework to incorporate innovations into their project during the design or construction phase to earn an Envision Certification, celebrating the sustainability of their infrastructure project. Similar to how the LEED Certification works for buildings, Envision is a certification for infrastructure projects that meets sustainability goals. Envision Sustainability Professionals lead project teams through the Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure Envision Verification Process. The use of Envision can benefit infrastructure projects in numerous ways including:
Long-term viability through increased resiliency and preparedness
Lower costs through management and stakeholder collaboration
Reduced negative impacts on the community and the environment
Potential to save owners money over time through efficiency
The credibility of a third-party rating system
Increased public confidence and involvement in decision-making
