Book excerpt: "Designing Sustainable Commercial Interiors: Applying Concepts and Practices is a core text that teaches students and designers how to apply sustainable principles to all stages of the design process for residential and commercial interiors. An overview of the types of design projects emphasizes a three-pronged approach to sustainability: equity, economy and ecology. Through case studies for a range of project types - including retail, healthcare, hospitality, corporate, adaptive reuse, civic and institutional, and residential - readers will learn how to use a sustainable concept as the foundation for well-designed projects."--
