The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of interior designers who are aware of sustainable energy practices and of designers who are applying the practices. Although interior designers have been at the forefront for sustainable materials and indoor environmental quality, inte-grating sustainable energy has not been emphasized, The international Interior Designers Association provid the mailing addresses of randomly selected members, and a mail survey of these practition-ers was conducted. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for data analysis. The results showed interior designers sustainable energy important, but, application did not match awareness. A four-cluster solution satisfied the criteria for discriminating the entire interior designer group. The application of sustainable energy practices was different by sustainable design group. Interior designers who earned degrees from programs accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation more frequently applied sustainable energy characteristics. Average project size was the other influencing factor. |
