Navigating Sustainability: Engineers’ Views Within the Norwegian Construction Industry
https://orcid.org/https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3366-6584
This study investigates the perspectives of engineers on sustainability. The intention is to get an insight on the position of sustainability in the construction industry in Norway. The method involved interviewing ten engineers within different fields of engineering and with varying levels of experience. The questions were regarding their understanding of sustainability, attitudes toward sustainable projects, and their views on sustainability in the construction industry. A diverse individual perspective, with a predominant focus on environmental aspects, was observed. Economic factors and government incentives played an important role in the individual’s sustainable choices. The participants emphasized reducing carbon footprint, energy-efficient buildings, and reuse of materials as important for a sustainable development. In order to achieve a more sustainable development, this report suggests stricter regulations and government incentives, in addition to clearer definitions and collaborative responsibility distributions.
