What is Industrial Design?

Industrial Design (or I.D.) is the
Design of all of the things that we
use on a daily basis.
Industrial Designers - Design the things you see
in stores, and the things people use at home and
work every day.
Cars, bikes, furniture, tools and equipment,
computers, medical devices, housewares, and toys
are all designed by Industrial Designers.
Sometimes the term Product Design is substituted
for Industrial Design.

a number of the best designs of the past year.
See the worksheet given to you by the teacher for
questions you must answer regarding this site.

Fashion Design: Design of clothing, shoes and fabrics.
Graphic Design: Design of websites, computer apps,
magazines, advertising, packaging & more.
Architects, Engineers, Urban Planners, Interior
Designers and Landscape Architects: Design the places
and spaces in which we live.
What is
Sustainable Design?
Sustainable design is the process
of reducing the negative
impacts a building has on the
environment, and the health
and comfort of the people
occupying the building.
Reduce the Consumption of
Non-Renewable Resources by:
Minimizing Waste
•Raw Materials are re-used in
construction of the new building.
Creating Healthy, Productive Environments
•Use Non-Toxic & Recycled Building Materials
•Use Natural Lighting & Ventilation in buildings

A Non-Renewable resource is one that once
used, can never be reused for any other
purpose?
How We Waste Energy

An item that is easily Replaced and/or can be
Reused or Recycled.

Examples of Renewable Energy include?
Using Wind Power
 Wood from fast growing trees are a common
Renewable Resource.
 Pine
 Bamboo
 Poplar
 Slow growing hardwoods like walnut, oak,
and mahogany are renewable, but grow so
slowly cannot keep up with demand.
 Is an Aluminum Window Frame a Renewable Resource?
 Yes. Aluminum building products can be easily
recycled.

Optimize Site Potential

Minimize Non-Renewable Energy Consumption

Use Environmentally Preferable Products

Protect and Conserve Water

Enhance Indoor Environmental Quality

Optimize Operational and Maintenance Practices
What is LEED?
LEED
Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design


LEED is a green building
program that accounts for
the entire lifecycle of a
building by recognizing
best building strategies,
and reducing the
buildings overall impact
on the environment.
LEED is also a program
that provides third-party
verification of green
buildings.
 Building projects must satisfy
pre-requisites to earn points which
achieve different levels of LEED
certification.
 The number of points the project earns
determines the level of LEED certification the
building receives.

Sustainable Sites Credit - Encourages strategies that
minimize the impact on ecosystems and water.
resources.
Silt Fence to
stop silt from
entering the
storm water
system.

Water Efficiency Credits: Promote smarter use of
water, inside and outside of the building, to reduce
potable water consumption.
(Potable water is water supplied fresh for drinking to the building)
Water Cistern – Used to
collect rainwater runoff.
Water collected inside is
used to supply water to
toilets and landscape
watering in and around an
associated building.

Energy & atmosphere credits: Promotes better
building energy performance through innovative
strategies.
Light colored roof that
reflects sunlight and
heat, which cuts cooling
costs.
Solar Panels for
electricity generation,
and light sensors that
turn off lights when
nobody is in the room
are often utilized.
Materials & Resources Credits: Encourages use
of sustainable building materials and reducing
waste.
Steel Rebar form
the old building
that was
demolished &
collected so that it
can be recycled.
Concrete ground
into gravel that
will be used in the
concrete for the
new building.
Indoor Environmental Quality Credits: Promote
better indoor air quality and access to daylight
and views.
Large, south facing
windows allow for
day-lighting and winter
heating.
Also allows for lower
heating and lighting costs,
and better views which
leads to a more peaceful
living environment.
The certification level a building receives is determined by the
points accumulated when inspected by LEED inspectors. The
number of points received is based on how many of the LEED
categories are met in the design of the building.

CERTIFIED: 40 – 49 Points

SILVER AWARD: 50 – 59 Points

GOLD AWARD: 60 – 79 Points

PLATINUM AWARD: 80 Points and above

Buildings with
certification:

Have lower operating costs,
and an increased resale value.

Conserve energy, water and
other natural resources.

Create a healthier and safer
building for its occupants.

Qualify for money-saving
incentives, like tax rebates and
zoning allowances.

see measurements of energy savings
and resource conservation related to the
NC HWY 421 Rest Area in Wilkes
County, North Carolina.
This building was awarded a LEED Gold
Award upon its completion.
The handout provided by the teacher has
a portion that gives students the
opportunity to see actual savings
provided by the LEED categories met by
the rest stop built in Wilkes County, NC
as a test project by the state of NC for
LEED and sustainability.
