Description

Envision is a flexible system of criteria and performance objectives to aid decision makers and help project teams identify sustainable approaches during planning, design and construction of infrastructure projects that will continue throughout the project’s operations and maintenance and end-of-life phases. The Envision system consists of different components: (1) The Envision Pre-Assessment Checklist can be applied early-phase and used to prepare later sustainability assessments; (2) the Envision Online Scoresheet provides for a detailed online self-assessment; (3) the Envision Verification provides for an independent third-party project review process; (4) the Envision Awards offer recognition for qualifying verified projects.

Tool Outcome

Depending on the component used, Envision provides decision makers and project teams with detailed information on the sustainability performance of infrastructure projects and thereby outlines possibilities for improvement and guides decision making. Using the Envision Verification, stakeholders receive a third-party evaluation of their projects’ sustainability. Under the Envision Awards, projects that have completed the Envision verification receive a sustainability award depending on their sustainability performance (Verified – Bronze – Silver – Gold – Platinum).

Sustainability Criteria

The tool measures the sustainability of infrastructure projects across 64 criteria organized in 5 categories:
– Quality of life (14 criteria)
– Leadership (12 criteria)
– Resource allocation (14 criteria)
– Natural world (14 criteria)
– Climate & risk (10 criteria)
