Properties
Instance of
FaithfulAgentNotificationObligationforProjectSuccessRisk
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#FaithfulAgentNotificationObligationforProjectSuccessRisk
Applied to
Organizational board energy system replacement decision
Balancing with
Carbon Footprint Reduction Stakeholder interests
Environmental Stewardship in Engineering Practice
Concrete expression
Engineer A must advise the board in writing that the solar without storage system, while producing equivalent energy at similar cost, will not be as reliable as the fossil-fueled co-generation facility and may result in rolling blackouts and facility interruptions that would constitute project failure
Confidence
0.95
Importance
high
Interpretation
The faithful agent obligation encompasses the client's overall project welfare including reliability outcomes; presenting only energy production and cost equivalence without reliability data would fail the board as faithful agent even if technically accurate as far as it goes
Invoked by
Engineer A Energy Systems Reporting Engineer
Tension resolution
The faithful agent obligation requires disclosure of the reliability gap because installing a system that results in rolling blackouts and facility interruptions would not be a project success from the board's perspective
Source Evidence
Source text
Installing a system without storage may result in rolling blackouts and facility interruptions and thus not be a success. Therefore, Engineer A has an obligation to present this information in a report to the board.
Text references

This discussion has so far not addressed the obligation of Engineer A in this case to act as a faithful agent or trustee for the employer.
