Objectives

1. Develop an understanding of how over the course of its life a building’s interiors may contribute as much to its embodied carbon footprint as its structure, potentially even more.
2. Learn about Net Zero Interiors, the goal decarbonizing interior design so that interior refits do not come at so heavy a carbon cost.
3. Discuss strategies and benchmarks for achieving Net Zero Interiors through product selection, design choices, and innovations in manufacturing.
4. Learn how interior designers, manufacturers and researchers are laying the groundwork for Net Zero Interiors.
