Green Design is the catch-all term for a growing industry trend within the fields of architecture, construction, and interior design. Also referred to as "sustainable design" or eco design", the broad principles of green design are fairly simple: choose energy efficiency wherever possible; work in harmony with the natural features and resources surrounding the project site; and use materials that are sustainably grown or recycled rather than new materials from non-renewable resources.
