According to Metropolis, the interior design industry will have influence over almost one-tenth of the world’s carbon emissions by 2050. This is a significant responsibility as carbon emissions are the main cause of global greenhouse gas leading to global warming and climate change. Our panel of design and industry professionals will discuss “hot spots”, solutions, and strategies to reduce the carbon impact in projects. Then join in a collaborative process, weaving students, design, and industry professionals together to discuss and prioritize approaches you can apply to your future design projects.

CEU description...We as designers have the responsibility to ensure the spaces we design are optimal for occupant health and wellbeing and minimize the extraction of natural resources. This CEU will teach you how to select interior materials that are healthier and more environmentally preferable. We will take you through available resources that will help guide your material selection and vetting process, including a list of good, better and best material options for typical interior applications. Designing better spaces now makes for a better future in the long run.

Historically, there have been various ways to measure how an interior space “works.” The metric may be sq. ft./person or cost/sq. ft. Such determinants have a rightful place among the principles of design, but it is possible to reconcile economic necessities with design that’s intelligent, interesting and human-centered. This session outlines how the essential components of design intersect with the principle components of the WELL Building Standard to create spaces that promote psychological well-being…resulting in more engaged, inspired, and empowered workers that exhibit a higher level of creativity and innovation.
