DESIGNINGreen2010 is worth (1) CEU for interior designers seeking educational credits. This hour-long course will be presented by Jeff Hiller, LEED-CI/AP-certified president of SFC, who developed the content for beginner and intermediate sustainable interiors practitioners as well as for retailers selling eco-friendly home furnishings.
The course highlights key developments in sustainable and green interior design and includes an assessment of current environmental issues, government policy and new legislation.

Cisco Brothers is a charter member of SFC and is committed to environmental initiatives related to furniture production as well as to corporate social responsibility. The Los Angeles- based company is widely known for featuring sustainable components in its upholstered furniture offering. In 2009, TUA launched its Ultrasuede® brand of products using the company’s EcoDesign™ process for capturing and recycling raw material, thereby reducing both energy consumption and carbon emissions by over 80 percent in the manufacturing process.
