Description: | Fully-updated to reflect changes in legislation, technologies, international initiatives and products and including global case studies, this 2nd edition integrates the complex topics of sustainability with the design process to enable students to apply the concepts with the same ease as they apply the elements and principles of design. Sustainable Design for Interior Environments, 2nd Edition, builds on the first edition’s premise that the interior design profession has a social and moral responsibility to protect the health, safety, and welfare of people and the environment. The text equips professors, students, and practitioners to design sustainable interiors by addressing LEED certification, environmental concerns, ecosystems, ethics, values, worldviews, and the ways in which science and technology can be used to address environmental challenges. Through content, organization, and pedagogical features, the book integrates complex sustainability topics directly into the design process, thereby enabling readers to apply the concepts of sustainability with the same ease as they do the elements and principles of design. |
