Introduction

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 productivityReducing 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.

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.
