CEEQUAL, is the international evidence-based sustainability assessment, rating and awards scheme for civil engineering, infrastructure, landscaping and works in public spaces. It is promoted by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and a group of civil engineering organisations including CIRIA, CECA and ACE. CEEQUAL encourages and promotes the attainment of high economic, environmental and social performance in all forms of civil engineering through identifying and applying best practice. It aims to assist clients, designers and contractors to deliver improved sustainability performance and strategy in a project or contract, during specification, design and construction. The scheme rewards project and contract teams who go beyond the legal, environmental and social minima to achieve distinctive environmental and social performance in their work.〔(CEEQUAL Website - Introduction ) Retrieved on 2 December 2008〕 ==History== CEEQUAL was developed by a team led by the ICE, with government financial support from the DETR and DTI Partners in Innovation schemes, and from the ICE's Research & Development Enabling Fund. The development of CEEQUAL was managed by Crane Environmental Ltd, and received support and participation from relevant government departments and agencies, professional and industry associations, and civil engineering consultants and contractors. Following industry-wide consultation and trialling, the scheme was launched in September 2003 and the first eight Awards presented at the ICE. Since then, CEEQUAL has become the UK industry scheme for assessing environmental and sustainability performance in civil engineering and public realm projects, and is now widely used by major civil engineering clients, designers and contractors. In June 2008 CEEQUAL was recognised by HM Government's report, ''Strategy for Sustainable Construction'' as an initiative helping to 'drive forward' the Government’s design agenda for civil engineering and infrastructure projects.〔(ICE News Website - CEEQUAL gets government backing in new construction strategy ) Retrieved on 2 December 2008〕 The total construction value of all projects assessed or in process of being assessed under CEEQUAL reached the £6 billion mark in autumn 2008. By 2015 the civil engineering value of work that has been or is currently being assessed exceeds £25 billion.〔(Press Release - Value of projects assessed under CEEQUAL is approaching £6bn ) Retrieved on 2 December 2008〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CEEQUAL」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
