The Environmental and Sustainability Management System (ESMS) Institute was developed in
2002. An ESMS is a set of management processes and procedures that allows an organization to
analyze, control and reduce the environmental impact of its activities, products and services,
and operate with a greater efficiency and control. The institute convenes teams from local,
state and federal government agencies at The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center for four,
three-day workshops spaced approximately three months apart; includes baseline
environmental review and on-site audits. For more information: http://www.cpe.vt.edu/esms/

educational program in Water Infrastructure Asset Management titled “SWIMeD”. The center
