As a member of the Zofnass Program for Sustainable Infrastructure at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, NV5 professionals collaborated with the Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure, bringing real-world experience and industry-leading expertise in sustainable infrastructure to develop a comprehensive sustainability framework and rating system for civil infrastructure development. The result of this collaboration is the Envision sustainability framework.
The Envision framework includes standards for transportation, water, energy, land development, and waste management. Envision drives improvements in planning, design, and construction of sustainable, resilient, and civil infrastructure. NV5’s certified Envision Sustainability Professionals (ENV SP) bring these concepts to life across the country, designing sustainable infrastructure, improving the lives of the communities that we serve and mitigating environmental impacts in those communities.
NV5 engineers have designed over 2,000 green infrastructure installations and is a national leader in sustainable infrastructure design and implementation.
