About The Competition
USGBC, The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), and The Hospitality Industry Network (NEWH)
are sponsoring the Sustainable Suite Design Competition to help drive
green design practices within the hotel industry. This competition
provides a platform for student and professional teams from around the
world to present their approach to green hotel room interior design. Hospitality Design (HD) is an exclusive media partner of this competition.
The winning design was built as a model guest room to be presented
as an educational display for the design industry, hotel owners and
brands, and corporate travel executives. The Sustainable Suite was
unveiled at HDExpo in Las Vegas, NV in May 2010.
