The introduction of sustainability into our built environment gives everyone the chances to develop new skills. For an example, new renewable energy technology
has created opportunities for:
- electrical engineering
- combined heat and power installation
- solar panel installation, servicing and maintenance
- small wind turbine installation and servicing
- offshore civil engineering.
Negative social impact
Overdeveloping our environment could have an negative effect for everyone, including:
- congestion from traffic
- local pollution
