ISI is intended to be a non-profit entity with broad-based membership of owners, practitioners, and related stakeholders who will promote sustainability in infrastructure development and redevelopment. ISI intends to create a rating system that will verify engineering projects as sustainable by examining the economic, environmental, and social impacts of the projects.</p> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">More information about the ISI can be found at <a href="http://www.sustainableinfrastructure.org/">www.sustainableinfrastructure.org/</a>&nbsp;and</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><a href="http://www.asce.org/Sustainability/ISI-Rating-System/">www.asce.org/Sustainability/ISI-Rating-System/</a>.</div> http://www.schinnerer.com/blogs/rm/2011/05/17/new_frontier_for_sustainability_ratings_infrastructure_projects.html#comments http://www.schinnerer.com/blogs/rm/2011/05/17/new_frontier_for_sustainability_ratings_infrastructure_projects.html Tue, 17 May 2011 14:00:00 GMT
