ASID launches 'green' design Web resource

Due to the increased focus on using sustainable and renewable resources in residential and commercial design, the American Society of Interior Designers has added a new section to its Web site dedicated to sustainable or "green" design. Sponsored by Interface, the Web address for the Sustainable Design Information Center is www.asid.org/green.asp.

"As the oldest and largest professional association of interior designers in the world, ASID has a tremendous responsibility to educate its members, other professionals designing the built environment and the public on sustainable design," said ASID President H. Don Bowden, FASID, AIA.

"This new Web page is a great resource for interior designers so they can successfully incorporate green design practices and products in their projects. By putting green principles to work, interior designers can do their part to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
