Environmentally responsible design has long been of interest and has become a
priority in order to offset the effects of global warming and soaring energy costs.
While many people are aware of green design, the concept of sustainable development
is far more complex. Sustainable Design for Interior Environments is the comprehensive
textbook on the subject and is intended for students and instructors as well
as practicing designers, architects, contractors, and facility managers. Introductory
chapters provide a thorough grounding in environmental concerns, including the
ways in which resources are affected and depleted and the development and effects
of legislation. These principles are then put into practice. Strategies for working
with natural resources, managing air quality and contaminants, and using different
materials are discussed everything from directing sunlight and determining acoustics
to the choice of flooring and fabrics. Exercises incorporate hands-on activities
to lead students through the design process. Thorough, transformative, and tough,
Sustainable Design is the gold-standard text on one of today s most important issues
in design.
