2. Students investigate the properties of interior finishes, furniture and textiles. The appropriate selection and specification of materials based upon code, occupant comfort, universal design, sustainability and aesthetics is researched. Life cycle analysis is used to determine the source, manufacture, transportation and disposal of a product. Viable information sources for sustainable products are explored. Catalog Description

3. At the end of this course, students will be able to: 1. 1. To demonstrate an understanding of the basic properties of most finish materials, textiles and freestanding furniture including their effect on human health and safety. 2. 2.
