Sažetak (engleski)

This paper presents the goals of a project named Development of automated resource standardization system for energyefficient construction (NORMENG) and how it is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and the education of
civil engineers. The project itself was started with the idea of modernising the construction industry in Croatia. Lack of
up to date, automated system for resource standardization is a significant setback in all areas of construction, from
education to practical work. Bringing changes in the education of civil engineers is a first step, one significant for the
future of the construction industry in Croatia because educating a new generation of engineers, giving them proper tools
to keep up with new ways of building, solutions for new problems they might come across. Educating a new generation
of civil engineers will help the whole industry to increase productivity and to generally move forward. The project itself
is related to the following topics of this conference: SDG4 – improving quality of education for civil engineers; SDG8 –
increasing production should lead to increased decent work and economic growth; SDG9 - Industry, innovation and
infrastructure as a project is focused on innovation in the construction industry of Croatia; and because of projects focus
on green building, it is also related to SDG11 – sustainable cities and development and SDG13 – climate action as well.
The project not only aims to develop labour productivity standards and to improve productivity, but it also aims to do so
for those types of construction works that are important for green building. The construction industry is usually seen only
as a danger for the protected environment due to the nature of the works, but that can be changed; there is a lot of space
to reduce negative effects on the environment and to help preserve it at the same time. Hopefully, with the successful
conclusion of this project and the application of achieved results in practical work, contractors from Croatia and the region
will see benefits in green building and decide to change their policy of work, as green building is not only important for
preserving the planet and reducing climate change effects, but this project will also try to prove it as cost-efficient
compared to traditional ways of building.
