Properties
Instance of
Climate-InformedInfrastructureDesignStandard
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Climate-InformedInfrastructureDesignStandard
Applied to
Coastal residential development project design standard
Hydrodynamic modeling and coastal risk assessment engagement
Balancing with
Absence of applicable building code
Client cost preferences
Concrete expression
Engineer A applied newly released information and a recently developed algorithm incorporating newly identified historic weather data to determine that the 100-year projected storm surge elevation is the appropriate design standard for the coastal residential development project
Confidence
0.95
Importance
high
Interpretation
In this context, the principle requires Engineer A to apply current climate science — including newly released data and recently developed modeling algorithms — to the design standard recommendation, rather than relying on prior historical baselines that may underestimate future storm surge risk
Invoked by
Engineer A Present Case Coastal Risk Assessment
Tension resolution
Current climate science governs the design standard recommendation regardless of client cost preferences or absence of regulatory mandate; the engineer's professional judgment based on current science is the operative standard
Source Evidence
Source text
Based on newly released information as well as a recently developed algorithm that includes newly identified historic weather data, Engineer A believes the residential development project should be built to a 100-year projected storm surge elevation
