Abstract

Although Environmentally Sustainable Interior Design (ESID) became the main issue in practicing interior design, there is still a large number of architects and interior design engineers who are still unaware of the importance of sustainable options in the real practice and realistic implementation of existing projects. This is could be observed in many projects. , especially when choosing sustainable building and finishing materials, The present research paper deals with developing a comprehensive understanding of what constitutes as a sustainable option for building materials and finishing and hence carrying a study on some of the current green and sustainable products to practice sustainable interior design. It confirmed how it is difficult to find a source of information on building material and finishing that makes the process of the interior design of integrated elements. The present study also tries to improve access to the basic concept of sustainable residential spaces, as well as updated information on sustainable building and finishing material, this is with the aim that the research can play a critical role in promoting sustainable practice in choosing building material and finishing of internal spaces. The study could also propose methodology that depends on the evaluation of sustainable materials used in building and finishing space in residential buildings and their selection criteria to achieve integration between environmental, economic and social aspects. The “descriptive and comparative analytical approach” was used through analyzing the most important international and Arabic systems in auditing the sustainable buildings, and study of evaluation criteria of every system with digging deeper in studying the points related to standard materials and resources. In addition to analyzing environmental, economic and social aspects related to the choosing of a suitable building and finishing material and then access to the proposed model to measure how sustainable is the building and fishing materials used in projects under study. Then through this model, we can reach an “analytical approach “that is specializes in analytical studies of international and local experiments, and clarify how to use sustainable finishing materials in the different buildings understudy, and measure the extent of achievement of the used material of different sustainability standards in both local and international model buildings., by using proposed model of measurements. In the end, it could benefit from it to lay down strategies and policies for the selection of finishing materials in Egypt
