civil engineering . Take the decision to use a green roof on a building project . Such a decision will make a difference to the environmental impact of that building , but it ’ s when that decision is made in combination with thousands of others that we see the real potential .
The second challenge is measurement , as the quality of contribution matters as much as quantity . We know from our own research that 90 % of engineers want to be able to clearly measure the impact of projects on sustainable development , but only a third of firms in the sector feel that they are able to do so right now . Discussing how we measure progress and what that data means for future engineering projects was a highlight of GEC .
