What is “Sustainable Design?”

What is “Sustainable Design?”

Sustainable design (also referred to as eco-design or green design) is an

essential aspect of design these days. It is the fastest growing sector in the

design industry and a growing number of potential clients expect and demand

it. Increasingly, Interior Designers embrace the opportunity to meet

consumer demand and create interior spaces that have a healthier impact on their clients and a lesser impact on the

environment whilst improving their own living/working environment.

Why Sustainable Design?Why Sustainable Design? The required aim of sustainable design is to

produce places, products and services in a way that reduces use of non-renewable

resources, minimizes environmental impact, and relates people with the natural

environment. Sustainable design is general reaction to the

global "environmental crisis", i.e., rapid growth of economic activity and human

population, depletion of natural resources, damage to ecosystems and loss of

biodiversity. The appearance is that our growing use of the earth has exceeded the sustainable limits of the earth importantly

because of continually increasing investment in limiting the resources.

LEEDLEED The Leadership in Energy and Environmental

Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, provides a suite of standards for environmentally sustainable construction. Since its inception in 1998, LEED has grown to encompass over 14,000 projects in 50 US States and 30 countries covering 1.062 billion square feet (99 km²) of development area.

Individuals recognized for their knowledge of the LEED rating system are permitted to use the LEED Accredited Professional (AP) acronym after their name, indicating they have passed the accreditation exam given by the USGBC.
