Camira Develops New CEU
Exploring Healthy Fabric Choices
Camira is presenting a new Continuing Education Unit (CEU) entitled “Specifying Sustainable Fabrics to Enhance Health and Wellbeing.” The CEU is approved by the Interior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC) and it provides a far-ranging overview of the impact of sustainable fabrics and the benefits that wool textiles can bring to internal air quality.
“By specifying wool on your furniture, you can actually enhance the air quality of a work environment,” said Rune Akselberg, Camira’s President for North American and Asian Pacific markets. “Certain fabrics, and especially wool and woolen blends, help absorb VOCs and other pollutants and actually contribute to a healthier workspace.”
The CEU is built around four key learning objectives:
- Exploring negative impacts resulting from using less environmentally friendly fabrics. Examining the need for better health and wellness practices in contract interiors and identifying performance standards in an array of fabrics that could contribute to healthier workspaces.
- Understanding how to better recognize and specify more environmentally friendly fabrics for commercial application.
- Surveying the evolution of health and wellness in the work environment and looking at the more recent developments the fabric industry is developing to support healthier building initiatives.
