Properties
Instance of
Climate-InformedInfrastructureDesignStandard
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Climate-InformedInfrastructureDesignStandard
Applied to
Storm surge elevation design standard for coastal residential development
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Cost-Refusing Developer Client preferences
Concrete expression
Engineer A applied newly released data and a recently developed algorithm incorporating newly identified historic weather data to determine that the 100-year projected storm surge elevation standard was necessary, even though applicable regulatory standards may not have required it
Confidence
0.95
Importance
high
Interpretation
Engineers must incorporate current scientific understanding — including newly released data and updated algorithms — into their professional assessments of climate-sensitive coastal infrastructure, even when regulatory standards have not yet been updated
Invoked by
Engineer A Present Case Coastal Risk Assessment
Tension resolution
The obligation to use current scientific data in climate-sensitive design prevails over client cost preferences
Source Evidence
Source text
The facts suggest that Engineer A's determination is based upon technical information—including newly released information as well as a recently developed algorithm that includes newly identified historic weather data.
Text references
Engineer A has determined, based on historical weather patterns and data, that the residential development project should be built to a 100-year projected storm surge elevation
The facts suggest that Engineer A's determination is based upon technical information—including newly released information as well as a recently developed algorithm that includes newly identified historic weather data.
