Sustainable Design for Interior Environments 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.
