    ACI Web Sessions

    ACI Web Sessions are recorded at ACI conventions and other

    concrete industry events. At regular intervals, a new set of

    presentations can be viewed on ACIs website free of charge.

    After one week, the presentations will be temporarily

    ACI conventions provide a forum for networking, learning the

    latest in concrete technology and practices, renewing old

    friendships, and making new ones. At each of ACIs two

    annual conventions, technical and educational committees

    meet to develop the standards, reports, and other documents

    necessary to keep abreast of the ever-changing world ofconcrete technology.

    With over 1,300 delegates attending each convention, there is

    ample opportunity to meet and talk individually with some of

    the most prominent persons in the field of concrete

    technology. For more information about ACI conventions,

    Why Do We Need Sustainability?

    Falling behind global competitors, t he US struggles to gain

    traction in planning and building the critical infrastructure

    investments that are necessary to ensure future economicgrowth and suppor t an expanding population ..

    We must maintain and improve our infrastructure system to

    ignite economic growth,

    improve our global competitiveness,

    and make it easier for businesses to create jobs .

    The Infrastructure Gap - $2.2 Trillion by 2015

    Either the country can risk further productivity decline,transportation congestion and potential catastrophesfrom dilapidated systems or it can develop newnetworks to accommodate the expected 100million inpopulation growth over the next generation.

    Current infrastructure spending may help fix someoutmoded and crumbling roads, transit lines ad sewagesystems but it offers no long term solutions for keepingthe U.S competitive in global markets or addressingrelated energy consumption and environmentalconcerns.

    WhatAbout Infrastructure?

    No overall sustainable infrastructure rating system

    Many sector-specific (900+)

    Infrastructure presents a different challenge

    compared to buildings: Building design and construction - usually controlled by a single

    organization

    Public Nature of Infrastructure Projects affects/ benefits macroecosystems, communities, and regions; must consider -

    Public stakeholder expectations and support;

    Environmental responsibility;

    Impact on public life;

    And, the use of public funds sustainability needs to pay for itself!

    Sustainability is not achieved by a uniform model orsingle approach because of the varying contexts,environments, community/ stakeholder/ physical needs;

    Technology and performance efficiency are enablers

    to achieve desired outcomes but the public interest ismet through behaviors and informed decisions;

    Identify the Key Performance Indicators that influenceand measure sustainable performance and can guidecontinuous improvement;

    Highlight and reinforce performance improvements

    that are balanced and understandable to stakeholders.

    What Does envision Apply To?

    ACI Conference - October 19, 2011 61

    TM

    What Is An Effective Rating System?

    A rating system :

    Creates a framework of objective measures;

    Provides guidance that can influence performancegoals and approaches;

    Promotes project resilience and strategic focus;

    Promotes consensus support to balanced tradeoffsbetween various project attributes and outcomes givenlimits of project context;

    The basis for negotiating a constructive outcome interms acceptable to all parties.

    ACI Conference - October 19,2011 62

    Goals for Rating System

    envision can be a nationally recognized standard forhigher sustainability performance for civil engineeringinfrastructure (across all civil infrastructure projects);

    Rating system should promote transformational approacheswith increased project performance for triple bottom linefactors in addition to technical requirements;

    envision should be scalable and broadly applicable

    Accommodate sector-specific rating systems that may also

    request recognition by ISI through 3rd

    party verificationACI Conference - October 19, 2011 63

    Key Features

    1. Expands the breadth of project contribution tosustainability

    2. Identifies infrastructure traps and vulnerabilities3. Expands opportunities and targets for performance

    improvement4. Makes restorative an explicit level of performance

    achievement5. Rewards focused innovation6. Encourages a shift to a new engineering design and

    project delivery paradigm7. Advances sustainability knowledge and education8. Does not assess materials or products

    ACI Conference - October 19, 2011 64

    Constructing the Rating System

    Should be relevant, supportive, usable and productive E-version, interactive, instructive, outcome-based, process-

    supportive, outputs

    Should be scalable according to complexity and size Level 1 checklist and self assessment Level 2 comprehensive consideration of multiple criteria and

    core system Level 3 focused project assessment (+ operations, existing

    facilities) Level 4 multi-attribute, complex, contested, TBL balancing

    Agencies, owners, consultants, communities (+/-) shouldbe able to use approach to reach consensus throughinformed decision making

    ACI Conference - October 19, 2011 65

    The Value Proposition

    Harmonizing multiple approaches to reflect a nationalstandard for approaches and performance

    ISI integrity by awarding recognition through third party

    assessment and verification

    Defensible and rigorous for both advocates and opposers

    Support the public policy approach and lead to moreeffective identification, financing, regulatory approval and

    delivery of infrastructure solutions
