The Applicants Course is a live web-based training that provides a closer look at Envision project verification.

Note: This course is not the ENV SP training. If you are looking to become an ENV SP, go to: https://sustainableinfrastructure.org/credentialing/envision-sustainability-professional-env-sp/. This course is intended for individuals that have already obtained their ENV SP credential. If you would like to take the course, but are not an ENV SP, reach out to Kailey Eldredge at eldredge@sustainableinfrastructure.org regarding your participation.

The Applicants Course is a 10-hour course that will be virtually delivered over 2-days (12:00-5:00pm ET each day) via Zoom by ISI’s Verification staff. The course fulfills all 5 elective and 2 prescribed Continuing Education hours towards maintaining your ENV SP credential. A Zoom link will be distributed to all registrants prior to the live event.

Applicants Course participants will gain an understanding of the ins-and-outs of Envision verification, including timelines, necessary deliverables, and expectations of the project team. In addition, ISI’s Verification staff will offer submission tips and insights into Envision concepts and credits. Participants will have an opportunity to practice writing credit coversheets and assessing project documentation. Class size is kept intentionally small to encourage participants to engage with the materials and ask questions of ISI’s Verification staff.

The past decade has seen significant growth in the adoption of embodied carbon policies, often referred to as Buy Clean or Clean Construction policies, for infrastructure projects. Most of these policies focus on the upfront emissions associated with manufacturing construction materials. In contrast, the Envision embodied carbon credit (CR1.1) requires project teams to evaluate and reduce net embodied carbon over the life of the project. This more holistic approach opens up the playbook in terms of potential embodied carbon reduction strategies, but adds complexity to calculating embodied carbon reductions and demonstrating compliance with the credit requirements.     During this webinar, we’ll explore the details of the Envision embodied carbon credit, touching on the process of calculating embodied carbon emissions, setting a baseline, and demonstrating reductions achieved. This will be followed by a case study from an Envision Platinum project that utilized the CR1.1 credit as the framework to reduce embodied carbon and realize project cost savings by reusing materials, using efficient transportation modes for materials, specifying lower carbon materials, and extending design life.

Learn how the inaugural cohort of the Envision Academic Grant enabled five institutions to meaningfully integrate sustainable infrastructure concepts into higher education through application of the Envision framework. This webinar will highlight key outcomes from the 2025 grant recipients, showcasing how faculty incorporated Envision into curricula and research, enhanced student learning, and strengthened connections between academic programs and real-world infrastructure challenges.  Participants will gain insight into the structure and goals of the Envision Academic Grant, explore practical examples of implementation, and understand how their own institutions can benefit. The session will also introduce the upcoming 2026 application cycle, offering guidance on eligibility, expectations, and strategies for submitting a strong proposal.    Read more about the grant and find the 2026 application here: https://sustainableinfrastructure.org/applications-now-open-for-envision-academic-grants/
