INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE 2014 Welcome to the 1st International
Conference on Sustainable
Infrastructure!
Dear Colleagues,
Over the next three days, you will hear project owners, practitioners, researchers, and decision
makers discuss how they are addressing the critical issues of sustainability: how to plan, design,
and construct the kind of infrastructure projects needed to handle a new and increasingly harsh
operating environment. We brought together experts from around the world, the people who
are in effect building the new knowledge base for sustainable engineering. They are driving
change: delivering projects that work effectively while developing the requisite standards, tools,
and methodologies needed for future success.
This conference is designed for practitioners, enabling them to engage with your colleagues,
exchange ideas, and see a broad spectrum of activities in sustainable infrastructure. It begins
with a reality check, the importance of infrastructure to the United States and world economy. At
the opening plenary, leaders from the World Bank, China, U.S. Homeland Security, and state
and local officials will offer their unique perspectives on sustainability in the built environment.
The plenary will be followed by two full days of knowledge building and networking
opportunities. Topics covered include climate change, water resources, transportation, eco-cities,
solar power, adaptation, extreme hazards, education, ethics, developing world issues and
infrastructure resiliency.
Tianjin University China is a co-sponsor of this conference. We have two sessions
dedicated to the challenges faced by and progress towards sustainable urban infrastructure
development in China. We are working closely with Dr. Guanyi Chen, the Dean of the
School of Environmental Engineering and Sciences, Tianjin University, and a member of the
Steering Committee for this conference, to facilitate the participation of Chinese delegates
in this conference and seamless transition to the planned 2016 conference in China.
We chose the City of Long Beach, California, as the location of this conference not only
for its attractions and travel convenience, but as an example of how a major international
port and coastal city is dealing with the issues of sustainability. The Port of Long Beach has
been an industry leader committed to the principles of sustainability since the inception of its
landmark “Green Port Policy” in 2005. You will be able to see some of its landmark sustainable
infrastructure projects, such as California’s first cable-stayed vehicular bridge, the Gerald
Desmond Bridge Replacement project, and our nation’s first electrified and fully automated
container yard, the Middle Harbor Redevelopment Project, both currently under construction.
They will be included on the conference’s harbor tour.
We’re glad you decided to join us! We, the Conference organizers, sponsors, authors and
presenters, are sure your attendance and participation in this Conference will be a valuable
and rewarding experience.
Sincerely,
Conference Chair

2016 ASCE International Conference on
Sustainable Infrastructure
The scale and magnitude of urban infrastructure growth
in China is massive and unprecedented. To cater to this
massive urban population, an enormous infrastructure is
expected to be built over the next 20 years. With this
massive demand of urban infrastructure and the current
urban environmental challenges, the local and national
leaders face an arduous task to build this infrastructure
ensuring environmental protection and sustainability.
Considering the enormity of urban growth in China over
the next 20 years and its global implications, sustainable
infrastructure development is a requisite condition.
Keeping in perspective the global implications of China’s
infrastructure development, the 2016 ASCE International
Conference on Sustainable Infrastructure (ISCI 2016)
will be held in Beijing, China. The Chinese Academy of
Engineers (CAE) along with the Tsinghua University and
the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences
(CRAES) will serve as the co-sponsors and co-organizers for
the ASCE ISCI 2016. In addition, the Research Center for
Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences
(RCEES, CAS) will play a supporting role in organizing
the conference in 2016. Dr. Xiaoguang Meng, a member
of the “Thousands Talents” program from CRAES will be
attending ASCE ICSI 2014 at Long Beach, CA to announce
the support of CRAES for the conference in 2016.

sizes of infrastructure projects. It evaluates,
grades, and gives recognition to infrastructure
projects that use transformational, collaborative
approaches to assess the sustainability indicators over the course of the project’s life cycle.
ASCE Los Angeles Section Sustainability Committee and Institute for
Sustainable Infrastructure is hosting a
full-day workshop that will equip participants to
take the Envision™ Sustainability Professional
(ENV SP) accreditation exam. This workshop
can be taken in lieu of the webinar training
course available on the ISI website. The workshop will include a mix of presentations, case
studies, and group discussions covering the
people and organizations responsible for the
Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI); details
on the Envision™ rating system framework and
process, assessment and scoring; explanation
of the ISI project verification process; and
expectations of ENV SPs with respect to roles,
responsibilities, and code of conduct. The workshop, presentations, discussions, and group
exercises will be delivered by ISI-approved
trainers.
Participants will learn how to use the Envision™
Checklist and full Envision™ rating system
to aid in sustainable planning and design.
Participants will receive access to the presentation slides, online training webinars, EnvisionTM
Guidance Manual, references to additional
resources, and links to social media venues for

and rehearse effective communication skills. You’ll improve skills for
effectively communicating the value of sustainability to clients, colleagues,
and community members, as well as enrich and extend your network of
professionals who are committed to sustainability for improving the quality
of life. Join this workshop to learn a tool for communicating the triple
bottom line using real life public works examples and project dilemmas. Randy Fiorini was born in Turlock, CA, where
he was raised on his family’s tree fruit and wine
grape farm. After graduation from Cal Poly San
Luis Obispo in 1975, he returned to Turlock
and assumed managing partner responsibilities

Catching the
Big One
When better fish production generates more
tax revenue, that’s a winner. When water and
energy savings fund that increase, that’s a sea
change. Alaska’s William Jack Hernandez Sport
Fish Hatchery won the world’s first Envision
Gold award for sustainable infrastructure.
