IT careers in the Environment sector
Design software
Architects and structural engineers are now relying on effective technology to create simulations of building which not only give a visual sense of aesthetics but also allow for details of materials, structural integrity and the environmental impact to be measured.
Smart Houses
Building sustainable houses which are carbon zero are with us now. Government incentives for domestic users of power to become sustainable are more recent innovations. Individual houses generating extra power to feed back into the national grid is also in progress.

- National Nuclear Laboratory
- Nuclear graduates Lists companies involved in the sector
Sea bed mapping
To enable petroleum geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers to effectively map the sea bed for the most cost-effective method of routing oil wells is greatly enhanced by 3D visualisation systems.
