Environmental Design

Environmental Design involves creating spaces that promote health, well-being, and productivity through thoughtful design.

Core Components

Space Layout

Lighting and Color

Air Quality

Conceptual room plan shows three indoor-air actions: remove or reduce pollution sources, ventilate appropriately, and supplement with air filtration. A crossed source symbol is distinct from a filter and an incoming-air opening.
For the air-quality part of environmental design, EPA prioritizes source control, supported by ventilation and filtration. This conceptual room plan illustrates those strategies; it does not claim that indoor plants provide equivalent air cleaning. Original conceptual diagram based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Improving Indoor Air Quality.
