We’ve done our tallying, and it’s official: The design community is on an eco-minded roll, as evidenced by the 2008 top 100 Interior Design Giants. Half the firms on the list have 10 or mroe LEED-accredited professionals on staff. As for last year’s projects, a handful of which are shown here, 77 Giants specified green products—most often, that product was carpet. How’s that for low impact?<\/p>\n

-70% of the Top 100 Giants include sustainable design in their mission statement<\/p>\n

-In total, the 2008 top 100 Giants specified more than $5 billion worth of green products last year<\/p>\n

-40 of these Giants specified at least $5 million worth of green products<\/p>\n

-35% of all interior products specified in 2007 by the top 100 giants were green<\/p>\n

-On average, the top 100 giants have 13 LEED-accredited professionals on staff<\/p>\n

-Close to 33% of all projects the top 100 giants work on followed LEED guidelines<\/p>\n

-30 of these giants say at least 40% of their projects last year followed LEED guidelines<\/p>\n

-77% of the top 100 giants report that they, not the client, usually take the initial step in making a project sustainable<\/p>\n
