identification, formulation and solution of engineering problems
Although construction activities also pollute the soil, the main areas of concern are: [], [], and []
air, water and noise pollution
land clearing, operation of diesel
engines, demolition, burning, and working with toxic materials.
AIR POLLUTION
the law aims to achieve and maintain clean air that meets the National Air Quality guideline values for criteria pollutants throughout the Philippines while minimizing the possible associated impacts on the economy
RA 8749 Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 -
SCOPE OF WORKS OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS
- Water Quality Control and Management
- Water and Wastewater Treatment
- Solid and Hazardous Waste Management
- Macro- and Microplastic Pollution
- Geo-Environmental Engineering
- Environmental Systems Engineering
- Sustainable Buildings
- the law aims to protect the country’s water bodies from pollution from land-based sources (industries and commercial establishments, agriculture, and community/household activities)
RA 9275 Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004
- design of soil and remediation systems,
SKILLS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS
Good construction site practices can help to control and prevent pollution. The [] step is to prepare [] for all construction activities and materials likely to cause pollution.
first, environmental risk assessments
[] is also responsible for emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide. [] vapors from oils, glues, thinners, paints, treated wood plastics, cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals that are widely used on construction sites also contribute to air pollution
AIR POLLUTION
Diesel, Noxious
The goal of [] is to ensure that the societal development and use of water, land and air resources are sustainable.
environmental engineering
Understanding of the [] principles underlying [] and []
SKILLS OF ENERGY ENGINEERS
scientific, energy, sustainability issues
The [] is major source of pollution, responsible for around [] particulate
emissions, more water pollution incidents than any other industry, and thousands of noise complaints every year.
construction industry, 4%
Environmental engineers study [], [], and [] problems, and develop technical solutions needed to solve, attenuate or control these problems in a manner that is compatible
with legislative, economic, social and political concerns
water, soil, and air pollution
- planning of disposal and reuse of wastewater and sludges, and
SKILLS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS
[] is not only annoying and distracting but also leads to hearing loss, high blood pressure, sleep disturbance, and extreme stress.
Excessive noise
All construction sites generate a high level of dust (typically from []), and this can carry for large distances over a long period of time.
concrete, cement, wood, stone silica
AIR POLLUTION
Awareness of [], [], [], and [] aspects related to engineering practice.
SKILLS OF ENERGY ENGINEERS
economic, ethical, legal and public health
- modeling and analysis of surface water and groundwater quality,
SKILLS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS
- the law aims to regulate, restrict or prohibit the importation, manufacture, processing, sale, distribution, use, and disposal of chemical substances and mixtures the present unreasonable risk to human health.
RA 6969 Toxic Substances, Hazardous, and Nuclear Waste Control Act of 1990
the law aims to adopt a systematic, comprehensive, and [] program that shall ensure the protection of public health and the environment.
RA 9003 Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. -
Construction sites produce a lot of noise, mainly from [], [], and [], but also from people shouting and radios turned up too loud.
vehicles, heavy equipment, and machinery
WHERE DO ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS WORK?
RENEWABLE ENERGY & ENERGY EFFICIENCY CONSULTANCY AGENCIES
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES FOR ENERGY AND POWER MANAGEMENT
- to facilitate the attainment
and maintenance of rational and orderly balance between socio-economic development and environmental protection.
PD 1586 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) System of 1978
a specialized field in civil engineering, environmental and energy engineering aims to provide balance between the [] and [] environment through sustainable infrastructure systems.
built, natural
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Research has shown that high noise levels disturb the [] of animals and reduce
their [].
natural cycles, usable habitat
Ability to intervene in the areas of [], [], and [] associated with energy use
SKILLS OF ENERGY ENGINEERS
renewable energy, energy efficiency and mitigation of environmental impacts
the planning, design, construction, and operation of water and wastewater treatment facilities in municipalities and industries,
SKILLS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS
- the collection, transport, processing, recovery, and disposal of solid waste according to accepted engineering practices
SKILLS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS
diesel and oil, paint, solvents, cleaners,
and other harmful chemicals; and construction debris and dirt.
WATER POLLUTION
When land is cleared it caused soil erosion that leads to site-bearing run-off sediment pollution. Silt and soil that runs into natural waterways turn them [], which restricts []
and destroys aquatic life.
turbid, sunlight filtration
It deals with the study of efficient water and energy use, water and wastewater quality control and management, solid and hazardous waste management, air quality management, sustainable resource management, green materials in engineered systems, geo-environmental
engineering, disaster risk reduction and management, and design of sustainable buildings.
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Civil engineers are particularly involved in such activities as water supply and sewerage, management of surface water and ground water quality, remediation of contaminated sites and solid waste management.
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
The challenge of energy transition requires [] skills that traditional engineering
degrees do not []. The main objective of this cycle of studies is to provide base training for [], with the ability to intervene in the areas of renewable energy,
energy efficiency and mitigation of environmental impacts associated with energy use.
transdisciplinary, offer, design engineering professionals
