Emerging trends and issues, approaches, and competitive strategies in sustainable engineering.

Bill Wallace assists public and private sector organizations identify and track emerging trends and issues, assess their impacts and importance, and take the appropriate actions in order to maintain or improve operational performance.

Bill's primary focus is on sustainable development engineering principles and practices, educating clients on how to improve sustainable performance while at the same time, reducing design, construction and operating costs.  

Bill is a recognized leader in the field of sustainability, serving on several national and international professional society committees and operating a successful consulting practice.  His book, Becoming Part of the Solution:  The Engineer’s Guide to Sustainable Development, has been a “best seller” for the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC).

Bill is the primary designer of the Envision™ sustainable infrastructure rating system.  This is a system that helps project owners and engineers determine the extent to which their infrastructure projects contribute to sustainability.  Envision is managed by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI).  At this writing, ISI has presented awards to 6 projects with a constructed value of over $100 million.  

For this work, Bill received  Engineering News-Record’s 2013 Award of Excellence, and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) President’s Medal in 2014.  He was also nominated by ASCE for the U.S. National Medal for Technology and Innovation.
