 Modern sustainability initiatives call for an integrated and
synergistic design to both new construction and in the
retrofitting of existing structures.
 Green construction principles can easily be applied to retrofit
work as well as new construction.
 Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
 Protecting occupant health; improving employee productivity
Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation

The structural engineer can reduce the structural environmental
impact using the following strategies:
 Specify salvaged materials and materials with high recycled content.
 Design structures to be durable. Structures normally should be
designed to last the life of the Building.
 Design structures to be adaptable, for most buildings are expanded or
modified over their lives.
 Select structural materials with minimum environmental impact. Use
materials efficiently.
 Consider end-of-life options for structures. Design with materials that
can be easily reused.

Conclusion
 Sustainability is a fluid, ever-changing process.
Consequently, yesterday’s sustainable design will not be
tomorrow’s.
 The lack of a consistent definition and current information,
combined with the bureaucracy surrounding building and
design codes, means that the next generation of sustainable
designs will require decisions from competent, knowledgeable
engineers.
Sustainable design involves considering all phases of a project
life cycle from planning, design, construction, operation and
maintenance, and rehabilitation and replacement.

 The best decision for one step may not be the best for
another.
 Depending on the project and location, importance will
shift between the economic, environmental, and societal
impacts.
 Considering the triple bottom line often introduces
competing interests with competing information that must
be synthesized by educated engineers.
 Being sustainable is challenging, but engineers can make
informed,
safe
decisions
through
education
and
understanding.
