Social Responsibility and Interior Design

The University of North Texas, College of Visual Arts and Design, and PLiNTH & CHiNTZ have invited us to participate in a study they are conducting.

The survey covers the “Triple Bottom Line,” or the idea of balancing the economic, environmental, and social impacts of a project, often used when discussing sustainable design. The focus of this questionnaire is on the “social responsibility” side of this approach, and specifically, how this relates to TEXTILE SELECTION AND SPECIFICATION. For the purposes of this survey, “sustainable design” includes the economic, environmental, and social impacts of a project and addresses the health and well-being of people and ecosystems for current and future generations.

Please take a moment of your time to help out some fellow students and take the survey.

If you'd like to learn more about the Triple Bottom Line, there's a paper from Portland State University linked on the USGBC website. Check it out here.
