![]() Responding to allegations, conflicts, and restrictions in the two professions, this article addresses the underlying question of whether interior design standards compare favorably when measured against architectural standards.To facilitate a comparison, published and unpublished documents were obtained from various sources and the primary professional organi-zations-the Foundation for Interior DesignEducationResearch(FIDER), the Entry Level Monitored Internship Program (Jackman, Harwood, and Veitch, 1990), the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ), the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), the National Council for Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), and from various state and provincial licensing bills.Reviewing this material shows that different knowledge is acquired in each profession. ![]() This article addresses this comparison, as well as the relationship between these standards and recognized legal registration requirements and professional definitions.The overall goals are to clarify how the standards shape each profession and to determine whether the standards in interior design support the licensing of interior designers. Although the standards have recently been updated, they have not been formally compared to assess their similarities and differences. ![]() These standards establish criteria for professional competence and development and establish a framework for legal registration requirements and professional definitions. In the professions of interior design and architecture, standards of education, experience, and examination provide a system for measuring quality, responsibility, and service. The lack of such knowledge, theory, and practice is an impediment to developing the necessary y professional design took and practices to address effectively indoor environmental quality and energy conservation issues. There is a need for a usefit1 general body of knowledge, theory, and practice regarding building-environment-occupant interactions. There is inadequate dissemination of building science research results to design professionals. However, the majority of design professionals have little or no awareness of indoor air quality considerateness. In addition, changes that limit the chemical contamination of building air during the construction process and during occupancy of buildings are also occurring some of these changes are specified or controlled by design professionals. These changes include improvements in site planning and design overall building &sign ventilation and climate control systems and materials selection and specifications. ![]() In recent years, some building design professionals have become more aware of the indoor air quality concerns of Owners and occupants and as a result, they have made some important changes to improve i n d m air quality and climate. ![]()
