New Orleans, LA (Vocus/PRWEB ) March 14, 2008 -- The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) Foundation and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) today launched the nation’s first green residential remodeling guidelines at a press conference during INTERIORS 08: The ASID Conference on Design, held in New Orleans.
Organized into the ten most common remodeling projects, the REGREEN Guidelines are designed to provide professionals and homeowners with resources and tools to green their home remodeling projects. The guidelines can be applied to a variety of projects, from remodeling a kitchen to executing a full-scale renovation.
"Green homes are fundamental to leading healthier, more sustainable lives," said Victoria Schomer, ASID, LEED AP, interior designer and principal of Green Built Environments. Schomer was on the team to develop and write the REGREEN program. "In America , we spend a startling 90 percent of our time indoors. Home interiors have a profound effect on ourselves and our families, and the interior design professional has a central role in making them healthier and green."
