WEBINAR: Delivering Envision Platinum for the Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency – Battery Project

October 9, 2024 | 2:00pm – 3:00pm ET

In this session, Brad Moore and Katherine Hansen of Stantec, will provide an overview of how the Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency – Battery project was able to integrate Envision into the Project’s design, construction, and operations to make the project more resilient and reduce environmental impacts. The Battery Project seeks to improve the resilience of the park by raising the site to accommodate future sea level rise around New York City. The project was completed by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), with Stantec Consulting as designer, and Hunter Roberts Construction Group as construction manager. Brad and Katherine will provide an overview of how the Battery project was able to utilize Envision to quantify sustainability performance, improve the sustainability of the project using the framework, and complete Envision Verification resulting in an Envision Platinum Award.

*Participation in this webinar will satisfy one elective hour toward ENV SP credential maintenance.
