    Description

    The rise in synthetic products coupled with the focus on airtight buildings to conserve energy has led to a rise in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), particulate matter (PM) and chemical related indoor air quality (IAQ) issues, resulting in building-related illness, litigation and leasing problems. Additionally, an increase in weather-related disasters, warmer temperatures and changes in precipitation have increased ground ozone, mold and pathogens. Evolving environmental conditions are impacting building materials and increasing the risks to human health. This presentation seeks to raise greater awareness so that interior designers can drive market transformation collectively towards healthier spaces. Interior designers can be part of the solution by reducing indoor pollution, achieving better building resiliency, and proactively incorporating design measures that (1) evaluate potential impacts from extreme weather events and (2) prioritize the selection of materials, finishes and furnishings that minimize risks to human health. 

    This session includes a designer panel featuring: Alison Faecher, ASID, NCIDQ, EDAC, LEED AP, Principal, Interior Design, SmithGroup | Ken Wilson, ASID, FIIDA, FAIA, LEED Fellow, Principal, Interior Design Director, Perkins&Will | Toni Gocke Wyre, FASID, LEED AP, WELL AP, Program Director, Interior Design, University of Central Arkansas

    GATHER Catalyst 2024 live program recording of session held August 13, 2024.


    What You Will Learn
    • Recognize the impact of extreme weather events on the built environment, with a specific focus on extreme heat. 
    • Describe the role of interior design in lessening these impacts. 
    • Identify strategies in adapting the interior design process and decision-making. 
    • Apply research findings to inform material selections that will increase building resiliency and improve human health. 
    • Integrate adaptation in the design process with consideration of different market sectors, project site conditions, and competing priorities.
