9 Principles of Green Engineering 1. Engineer processes and products holistically, use systems analysis, and
integrate environmental impact assessment tools.
2. Conserve and improve natural ecosystems while protecting human health
and well-being.
3. Use life-cycle thinking in all engineering activities.
4. Ensure that all material and energy inputs and outputs are as inherently
safe and benign as possible.
5. Minimize depletion of natural resources.
6. Strive to prevent waste.
7. Develop and apply engineering solutions, while being cognizant of local
geography, aspirations, and cultures.
8. Create engineering solutions beyond current or dominant technologies;
improve, innovate, and invent (technologies) to achieve sustainability.
9. Actively engage communities and stakeholders in development of
engineering solutions

A multidisciplinary approach
involves drawing appropriately from
multiple disciplines to redefine
problems outside normal
boundaries and reach solutions
based on a new understanding of
complex situations.

Conventional Opinion
• Inconsistent with the
voice of the consumer
Underlying Assumption
• Decreases
performance and/or
raises cost
Customers want:
Energy reduction
Lightweight products
End-of-life Options
![Page 12: FRC Sustainability Panel Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052608/587cff1d1a28ab1e7e8b6031/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Conventional Opinion
• Criteria for
sustainability is
incompatible with
other criteria
Underlying Assumption
• Requires high tech to
reduce resource use and
technical performance
and safety is proportional
to material use
Consultants should:
Brainstorm
Think outside the box
No “routine act without thought”
![Page 13: FRC Sustainability Panel Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052608/587cff1d1a28ab1e7e8b6031/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Conventional Opinion
• Sustainable products are
more expensive to
produce, costly to
maintain, and are
somewhat lacking in
performance
Underlying Assumption
• Occurs when
sustainability enters the
equation after the design
is complete
70% of cost is determined during the design
phase

• Biomimicry is an
approach to
innovation that seeks
sustainable solutions
to human challenges
by emulating nature's
time-tested patterns
and strategies.

12 Principles
1. Green Chemistry
2. Prevention rather than
treatment
3. Design for separation
4. Maximize mass, energy,
space and time
efficiency
5. “Output pulled” versus
“input pushed”
6. Conserve complexity
7. Durability rather than immortality
8. Meet need, minimize excess
9. Minimize material diversity
10. Integrate local material and energy flows
11.Design for commercial “afterlife”
12.Renewable rather than depleting

• Florida has a statewide
recycling goal of 75% to be
achieved by 2020
• Commercial sector generates
67% of MSW, twice single-
family residential sector
• Only 61 cities and 8 counties
have mandatory commercial
recycling
• Increasing commercial
recycling provides the most
strategic method to meeting
the 75% goalFDEP. (2010). 75% Recycling Goal Report to the Legislature. Tallahassee: FDEP.

Our mission: To inspire sustainable solutions for our personnel, clients and business partners through innovative management, design and implementation.
“Sustainability can't be like some sort of a moral sacrifice or political dilemma or a philanthropical cause. It has to be a design challenge.”- Bjarke Ingels
If you treat people with
dignity, they will value
their work product and
take pride in their
communities.
