The Importance Of Sustainable Interior Design

After several years of use and abuse of natural resources, humanity begins to awaken from its stunned by the advances of technology, to understand the magnitude of the impact caused by its presence in the environment. At present, trends in various aspects of human activity seek to achieve a harmonious relationship with nature; one of them is the practice of interior design. The main reason because the construction industry, in particular, has incorporated especially such attention, is the result that it has proved to be one of the main sources of pollution in water, air, and noise
Sustainability has extended to our field; people have begun to understand the importance and necessity to introduce this practice into their life. All of this not

The sustainable interior design has a different main guideline; before esthetics, there is ethics. It has as main objective the healthy, the beneficial or harmful for the health of the people who live in the homes and to preserve the natural environment that surrounds it.
The scope of the sustainable development is conceptually divided into three parts: environmental, economic and social; each of these pillars must be on an equal stage, promoting a model of growth without exclusion (social), equitable (economic) and safeguard natural (environmental) resources (MIT Press Journals, 2017). Considering the words mention above, an interesting approach we could focus on is the way the industry uses the materials to develop projects.
To achieve the sustainable design, recycled, 'recyclable' and 'compostable' materials must be chosen avoiding the Volatile Organic Compounds which include carcinogens substances being formaldehyde and benzene one of them. Basic things such as paint or floor installation are a good way to

Air lite, for example, represents an eco-friendly technology advance by purifying the air around working like leaves on the trees, eliminating bacteria, mold, and functioning as a filter that eliminates toxic substances. It also reduces the energy consumption in about a 15-50% as it reflects the hot component of sunlight, avoiding that rooms overheat (EASME, 2017).
Another alternative that emerged by the increasing practice of eco-friendly spaces is the LEED certification by the US Green Building Council. This certification is a demanding and rigorous program, which is constantly evaluated and incorporates new concepts periodically, mainly based on the new technologies that have arisen and the studies that have been carried out on green buildings that have been operating for several years.
In order to measure whether a building has achieved the definition of "green", each LEED classification system incorporates seven categories: Sustainable systems, Water Efficiency, Energy, and Atmosphere, Materials and resources, Quality of the indoor environment, Design
