Green Design and Ethical Decision-Making
Green design is considered an environmentally sensitive solution that helps protect and enhance cultural and natural resources. Design professionals typically use some green design daily, but do so differently. Standard terms that equate to green design include green infrastructure, sustainable design, holistic design, and climate-based design. Regardless of how we define green design, it is evident that designs are more sensitive to impacts on people and places, clients are more aware of the benefits of green design, and the public demands these principles be applied to most projects. This course projects an overview of green design, how it has changed over the years, how it is currently being used, the difficulties involved with implementing green design, and how we seek to measure success.
