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
archived on the ACI website or made part of ACIs Online
CEU Program, depending on their content.

ACI Online CEU Program
ACI offers an easy-to-use Online CEU Program for anyone
who needs to earn Continuing Education credits.
Once registered, you can download and study
reference material. After passing a
10-question exam on the material, you
will receive a certificate of completion
that you can present to local licensing
agencies.
Visit www.concrete.org/education/edu_online_CEU.htm
for more information.
ACI
WEB SESSIONS
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,
visit www.aciconvention.org.

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 ..
Urban Land Institute, Ernst and Young, Infrastructure 2010
ACI Conference - October 19, 2011 20
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.

How Has LEED Transformed the Building
Industry?
Redefined building value
Provided a way for building customers(owners, tenants, residents, the public)to recognize and understand the valueof building green
Low 1st costs low life cycle costs
Developed value metrics
Provided a system for measuring,assessing and publically recognizingbuilding performance
Better LEED-defined performance =higher value
Created the brand
Established a recognized andrespected brand in the building marketforhigh performance buildings

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!

The Rating System
ACI Conference - October 19, 2011 59
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 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
TM

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

Engaged two consultants experienced with FIDIC (PSMII) and CEEQUAL to develop basic framework
ASCE Foundation contributed $300,000 to developmentof rating system
Founder Partners developed goals for a rating system,critical review and development of core concepts, gapidentification, refinement of approaches, products
Collaboration with a number of federal agencies
ACI Conference - October 19, 2011 67
Framework of Rating Tool
Matrix evaluation of 5 Macro-groups, 10 Primary Criteria(reflect triple bottom line attributes) and relativeperformance
74 Secondary Criteria and narrative guidance
A Sustainability Score and road map
Supports consideration of performance achievement(higher efficiency) as well as process improvement(pathway to supportable and effective approaches)
Peer review ongoing
Needs additional feedback and input from agencies,owners, practitioners, activists, academics .
