Green Interior Design and Sustainability

The building industry consumes more than fifty per cent of the world’s natural resources and produces more than forty per cent of the solid waste stream. Therefore, the manner in which construction projects are designed, built and managed in today’s world, with its limited resources and increasing environmental awareness, is of vital importance. The emerging field of “green design” technology and sustainable design is based on the importance of reducing negative human impacts on our environment.

McConnell Allen Interiors is very concerned with sustainability planning and design. MAI can apply the patterns of natural living systems to the development and construction of both consumer products and environments that sustain human activity without negatively affecting the natural environment. Some of the benefits of green interior design are:

1. Reduced energy costs
2. Improved health of building occupants
3. Reduce consumption of natural resources
4. Reduced costs for building maintenance and operation
5. Increased flexibility and functionality of space
6. Increased productivity and efficiency of employees/occupants

Patti Allen is enthusiastic about sustainability planning and green design. Patti analyzes and assesses the potential of your project to benefit from green technology, and she takes into consideration such factors as your unique needs, budget and site selection in order to incorporate the green interior design features that will be most cost efficient and beneficial for you as well as the best solution for the environment.

MAI’s policy of developing a team mentality with the business owner, builder, architect, and even CEO of a company helps her provide a whole-project approach from concept to completion. In this way she can design and construct a building that not only meets green design goals, but also exceeds your hopes and expectations. MAI’s commitment to sustainable planning and design is just another facet of its passion and dedication to providing the absolute best in interior design.
