The essential of today's interior designer is to provide built enviornments that sustain the life of a building's occupants and the life in and around the built environment. Therefore, interior design departments are interweaving the principles and theories related to sustainable interior design into their pedagogical programs. However, there exists a void between the teachings of the theories and values related to sustainable design and putting them into practice.With the possibility of climante change looming over us, interior design students must reach a significant level of proficiency as quickly as possible in the area of understanding how to implement the principles and strategies of sustainable design into every phase of the design process. The environmental crisis is a design crisis.
