An ISI-approved Envision Verifier

Only ISI-approved Envision Verifiers, who have completed ISI's verifier training, are authorized to perform official third-party credit verification.

Question 2

What does the 'Applicability Criteria' section of an Envision credit determine?

Accepted Answer

Whether the credit is relevant and can be pursued for a given project type

Answer

Applicability Criteria define the conditions under which a credit is relevant to a project — if criteria are not met, the credit may be marked Not Applicable (NA).

Question 3

In Envision, at which project phase does 'Design Verification' typically occur?

Accepted Answer

Before or during design, prior to construction

Answer

Design Verification is an optional early-phase review conducted before or during design to confirm the project is on track to meet claimed credit levels.

Question 4

Which type of documentation is most essential for substantiating Envision Leadership (LD) credits related to stakeholder engagement?

Accepted Answer

Meeting minutes, stakeholder lists, and engagement records

Answer

LD credits for stakeholder involvement require documented evidence of outreach activities, attendees, and how community input influenced project decisions.

Question 5

If a project's verified performance for a credit falls one level below what was claimed, what is the standard Envision outcome?

Accepted Answer

The credit is awarded at the verified, lower performance level

Answer

Envision awards credits at the level that can be substantiated by documentation; if the verifier can only confirm a lower level, points for that lower level are granted.
