What Is the Carbon Footprint of Interior Renovations?
Interiors and Sources
It’s often noted that the built environment contributes 40% of carbon emissions worldwide. Architects and facilities professionals have responded to this number by attacking carbon emissions on two fronts; architects have worked to reduce the embodied carbon in common materials like concrete and steel, while facilities teams have focused on reducing energy use and implementing renewable energy as a way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, which release emissions as they’re burned.
But this conversation has so far left out the impact of building interiors—and according to new research by LMN Architects, the carbon footprint of interior design may be bigger than anyone realized.

Become a Chapter Sponsor
ASID Hawaii Chapter strives to work in support of our local interior designers by providing opportunities for continuing education, advocacy for the profession, social events and recognition of Design Excellence through our annual awards gala.

One Voice
Each day interior designers use their voices and visions to reshape spaces--and therefore the lives of those occupying them--for the better. With those same voices working in unison, they have the power to design a better future for themselves and the entire profession. That is why ASID began One Voice; to empower interior designers to get involved and advocate for or against the public policy that will ultimately influence their careers and lives.
