Sustainable Interiors

Interior designing or interior fit out projects have large variation in type and scale. Some components such as  daylight, electric lighting, water use, material use and indoor environmental quality are common in all kind of projects. This course introduces simple measurable aspects for each of these components using which the sustainability quotient for a project can be assessed. 

Design is very subjective. But sustainability can be objective and measurable. You will learn about concepts that are applicable irrespective of the design language.

If you have work experience as a designer and are interested in learning about sustainability, you will be able to quickly apply the concepts covered in this course in your practice. 

I have designed this course in short lectures covering each topic in a simple and easy to understand language. There are 5 lectures in this course with 1 hour of video content. I have included exercises and some simple calculations within the lectures to help you reinforce the concepts

Towards the end, you will learn about a sustainability matrix that can be used as a decision making tool for selecting materials that has the best sustainability score.
