Learn the principles and practice of sustainable interior design
Covering everything from theory to current practices, eight
leading design educators present the tools and knowledge needed to
implement an environmentally responsible approach for any interior
design project. It opens with a broad perspective on global
sustainability followed by a timeline of human and environmental
interactions. This sets the stage for the book's coverage of the
day-to-day issues of environmentally responsible interior design,
including:
Indoor air quality
Environmentally responsible lighting design
Energy and water issues
Evaluation and specification of interior finishes and
furnishings
United States Green Building Council and LEED certification
The author sets forth and examines a variety of essential design
standards and philosophies, including LEED-CI, William McDonough's
"Cradle to Cradle," Minnesota Sustainable Design Guide, and Energy
Star(R). The final part of the book is dedicated to two in-depth
case studies that demonstrate how the principles and practices
discussed in the book have been successfully put into action.
Throughout the presentation, detailed illustrations enable you to
better understand how environmentally responsible design works. A
bibliography at the end of the book leads you to additional
resources.
Armed with this book as a reference, students and professional
interior designers will make sound design decisions that
incorporate the principles of sustainability with aesthetics and
functional requirements.
