Understanding Industrial Design,
Sustainable Design, and LEED
Industrial Design
What is Industrial Design?
The Short Answer?
 Industrial Design (or I.D.) is the
Design of all of the Stuff that we
use every day.
Industrial Designers:
 DESIGN things like cars, bikes, furniture,
tools and equipment, computers, medical
devices, house wares, toys – all the stuff
you see in stores, all the stuff people use
at home and work every day, the things
that most people think just
appear
somehow.
 Sometimes the term Product Design is
substituted for Industrial Design.
 2013 International Design Excellence Awards
So, what isn’t Industrial Design?
 Fashion Designers: design Clothing and Fabrics.
 Graphic Designers: design Websites, Computer
apps, Magazines, Advertising, Packaging & more.
 Similar to I.D. but usually only 2-Dimensional.
 Architects, Engineers, Urban Planners, Interior
Designers and Landscape Architects design the
Places and Spaces in which we live.
Do you understand?
 Prove it.
 Take a few minutes to make your own list of 6
items, in this room, that were probably
designed by an Industrial Designer.
 Can you also list 2 things that were probably
designed by a Graphic Designer?
 How about 1 thing by an Architect?
 And lastly, 1 thing by an Engineer?
Do you really understand?
 DO IT.
 You will now work in small groups to Design a
Better:
1. Pencil Sharpener
2. Stapler
3. Hole Punch
4. Rolling Desk Chair
5. Computer Mouse.
A better Mousetrap?
See Handout for Instructions.
Sustainable Design
What is Sustainable Design?
The Short Answer:
 Sustainable design seeks to reduce negative
impacts on the environment, and the health
and comfort of building occupants, thereby
improving building performance.
Sustainable Design Objectives:
 Reduce Consumption of Non-Renewable
Resources (More on this later)
 Minimize Waste



Raw Materials Used in Construction
Packaging: Pre-Use and Post-Use
Reduce – Reuse - Recycle
 Create Healthy, Productive Environments


Use Non-Toxic & Recycled Building Materials
Use of Natural Lighting & Ventilation
What is a Non-Renewable Resource?
 Once it is used, it is gone forever, or it can’t
be reused for anything else.
 Examples of Non-Renewable Energy?
How We
Waste
Energy
What is a Renewable Resource?
 It is easily Replaced and/or can be Reused or
Recycled.
 Examples of Renewable Energy?
Using
Wind
Power
What is a Renewable Resource?
 Is Wood a Renewable
Resource?


Sometimes Yes (Bamboo)
Sometimes No (Slow growing
Hardwoods)
 Is an Aluminum Window Frame a
Renewable Resource?

Yes. Aluminum building
products can be easily Recycled.
Sustainable Design Principles:
 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
U.S. General Services Administration
Sustainable Facilities Tool help designers:
 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
 Use this online tool to list at least 2 practices for each
of the Sustainable Design Principals
 Sustainable Facilities Tool (http://sftool.gov/)
LEED
What is LEED?
The Short Answer:
 LEED stands for Leadership in Energy &
Environmental Design
But, what IS LEED?
 LEED is a green building tool that addresses
the entire building lifecycle by recognizing
best-in-class building strategies, thereby
reducing its overall impact on the
environment.
 LEED is a program that provides third-party
verification of green buildings.
 Building projects satisfy prerequisites and
earn points to achieve different levels of
certification.
How does LEED work?
 Projects earn points to satisfy green building
requirements in specific categories.
 Within each of the LEED credit categories,
projects must satisfy prerequisites and earn
points.
 The number of points the project earns
determines its level of LEED certification.
What are the 5 Main Credit
Categories? (They should sound familiar)
 Sustainable sites credits encourage strategies that minimize
the impact on ecosystems and water resources.
 Water efficiency credits promote smarter use of water, inside
and out, to reduce potable water consumption.
 Energy & atmosphere credits promote better building energy
performance through innovative strategies.
 Materials & resources credits encourage using sustainable
building materials and reducing waste.
 Indoor environmental quality credits promote better indoor air
quality and access to daylight and views.
 There are also 3 Neighborhood Development Categories, 2
Home Credit Categories and 2 Bonus Credit Categories.
What are the 4 LEED Certification
Levels?
 CERTIFIED: 40 – 49 Points
 SILVER: 50 – 59 Points
 GOLD: 60 – 79 Points
 PLATINUM: 80 Points and above
Why should you design a LEED
Certified Building?
 To Lower Operating Costs and Increase its Resale Value.
 To Conserve Energy, Water and other Natural Resources.
 To Create a Healthier and Safer Building for its Occupants.
 To Qualify for Money-Saving Incentives, like Tax Rebates and
Zoning Allowances.
Why should you design a LEED
Certified Building?
What are you going to make me find
out about LEED?
 Do you remember those Extra Categories I mentioned earlier?
 “There are also 3 Neighborhood Development Categories, 2
Home Credit Categories and 2 Bonus Credit Categories.”
 That’s right, you are going to find out what they are.
 www.usgbc.org is the place to look.
 You are also going to provide examples of things to do that
meet the requirements of the 5 Main Categories. But that is for
tomorrow.
Review
 What is Industrial Design?

Industrial Design (or I.D.) is the Design of all of the Stuff that
we use every day.
 What is Sustainable Design?

Sustainable design seeks to reduce negative impacts on the
environment, and the health and comfort of building
occupants, thereby improving building performance.
 What is LEED?

LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) is a
green building tool that addresses the entire building
lifecycle by recognizing best-in-class building strategies,
thereby reducing its overall impact on the environment. It is a
tool for achieving Sustainable Design.
