Several years ago, sustainable design was new to the vocabulary of many design firms. As the environment began to suffer and climate change was an increasing issue, many designers turned their focus to sustainability and how they could utilize sustainable design principles for their projects, their clients, and the greater good.
Today, the design industry has increased its level of awareness through licensure and associations which support sustainable design. Materials, methods, and tools are mechanisms which help to advance impact. As the industry perfects and fine-tunes systems and processes, it’s not enough as the clock ticks. While we assess where we are, the more important question is where we need to be.
This webinar will explore the state of sustainable design within the design industry as it currently exists and propose critical changes that need to be made for the future. Speakers will present the history of sustainable design and how to incorporate current sustainable design principles across a design practice. They will outline strategic goals and a roadmap for transformational sustainable design changes in healthcare design. In addition, they’ll highlight various projects that exemplify sustainable design, and how these design practices can help get us to where we need to be.

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate. As of July 9, 2020, The Center for Health Design requires a CEU management fee for verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
