The Psychology of Sustainable Design Panel (PES)
About the Conference | Program & Presenters | Brochure
Over the past ten years, sustainable design has burgeoned within the construction industry generally. Buildings are now LEED certified, native plants have replaced exotic species, and naturescaping has transformed the cultured landscape into biotic habitat. This panel will discuss how (1) sustainable design affects psychological health and (2) what psychology has to offer sustainable design. Looking ahead, how can psychological and ecological health considerations be considered in sustainable design work?
Panelists included Sarah Conn, Ph.D., John Echlin, and Carol Mayer-Reed.
