Abstract

Egbal Mansour Mohamed Awad

Structural sustainability has become a critical challenge in recent years as the built environment occupies a prominent position in international aid receipt and environmental impact. In this mini-review discusses the engineering management function has emerged as a critical element in ensuring the long-term sustainability of architectural initiatives. It is also explores approaches by which engineering management can contribute to structural sustainability. The review begins with a review of key sustainable structure standards such as energy efficiency, water conservation, material selection and waste reduction. It then dives into the precise responsibilities of technical managers in the design, creation and operation of sustainable buildings. This consists of responsibilities that include optimizing building systems, selecting appropriate materials and technologies, and implementing effective renovation and monitoring strategies. In addition, this article discusses the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between architects, engineers and various stakeholders in achieving sustainable layout answers. It highlights the role of technical managers in facilitating this collaboration and ensuring that sustainability is given significant attention throughout the engagement lifecycle. By embracing this evolving position, engineering managers can grow to be catalysts for the constructed environment's transformation, contributing to a more sustainable, resilient, and wealthy future. The successful integration of technical understanding, venture management abilities, and systems-degree thinking can profoundly shape the sustainability of the built surroundings, unlocking extraordinary possibilities for a greener, extra equitable, and economically feasible day after today.
