Question
The engineer has a significant role to play in preventing the future of our planet and
environment. Globally, the construction industry is one of the main contributors to the
depletion of natural resources and a major cause of unwanted side-effects such as air and water
pollution, solid waste, deforestation, health-hazards, global-warming, and other negative
consequences. In order to stay safe and to meet upcoming challenges, environmental
regulations and customer requirements, designers have a key role in designing infrastructure
so that it is environmental-friendly and sustainable. These factors have compelled the engineer
to design with greater care with respect to the environment.
(a)
Propose TWO (2) awareness of green engineering benefits and the environmental
impact of consultant's design decision to reduce the environmental impact of
development.
(b)
Analyze FOUR (4) benefits in implementing Eco-approach to infrastructure design.
