Zofnass Ratings for Sustainable Infrastructure
Valerie Nelson Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 02:54PM Harvard University is hosting the Zofnass Program for Sustainable Infrastructure, an effort to create a triple-bottom line sustainability rating system for infrastructure projects, including in water and wastewater. Last week, they convened a two-day conference, which I attended. Without question, it is a positive step to assess projects on how well they address resource use, climate change, ecosystem protection, and qualify of life measures. Nevertheless, a couple of visuals stick in my mind -- a proposed 149-mile water pipeline project in Texas and solar panels at a Cape Cod wastewater treatment plant. Developers of this ratings system should think more about the difference between a marginal improvement to the existing siloed and centralized management paradigm and a whole-systems shift. The sponsor, Paul Zofnass, was a college classmate of mine. Small world.
