Sustainable Interior Design A Survey
Louise Jones


About the book
Introduces the principles of environmentally responsible design for interior environments. While "green" building and sustainability
have been a focus in architectural design and building construction for a number of years, the interior design community is only
beginning to apply the concepts and applications. Sustainable Interior Design supplies the beginning designer or experienced
professional with a comprehensive survey, covering everything from theoretical approaches to current practices. By understanding the
environmentally responsible approach, the interior designer will be able to make design decisions that are ethical and do not harm the
world's environment.
