You are an engineer working for a consulting firm responsible for the renovation of a series of old office buildings on a military base. part of your assignment is to design the new wall construction for these buildings. you decide to add 9 cm (3.5 inch) of glass fiber insulation to the wood framed walls where no installation existed before. you know that one of the military specs with which you must comply states that all insulating materials shall be designed and installed such that no vapor condensation shall occur in the building walls as a result of the insulation design. this design process occurs in march and the new military specification will not become effective until january 1 of the following year. at your own initiative, you decide to check if condensation will occur in the new wall construction of the buildings. ethical problem your calculations show that moisture condensation will occur in the insulation in the walls during winter weather conditions. you share this with the engineering manager of your company and suggest that more expensive insulation (such as closed cell polyurethane foam) should be substituted for the glass fiber insulation. he states that the construction modifications should be completed by the end of november so the company will not need to comply with the new code which does not take effect the following january. he also states that the cheaper insulation will save construction costs for his company. therefore, he instructs you to proceed with current, less expensive design. what do you do? questions on ethics and professionalism what are the known facts and unknown relevant facts in this case? discuss the legality of what the engineering manager is suggesting. what ethical concerns are there?
