Abstract
Learning is one of the most important elements of progress and prosperity of nations, since school buildings are the most important elements of the educational process. The research targets elementary schools of students in the age between 4 and 15 years. It is arguable that elementary education has the greatest potential to raise a generation conscious concept of sustainability.
The research aims to analyze the environmental sustainability of criteria and standards of the Authority for Educational Buildings in the Architectural Design of Elementary Schools in Egypt, to state to what extent the sustainability design criteria have been achieved in those standards. The analysis is based on the comparison of determinants of sustainable design in the Authority’s standards and criteria with those of world’s most prevalent rating systems (LEED 2009 for Schools and  BREEAM Education), as both rating systems have standards are specifically targeted at the analysis of educational buildings in sustainability terms. There is no Egyptian rating system that is specified to educational building, but the “Green Pyramid Rating System” is for all building types without specifying, so the research ignored the (GPRS) rating system and focused on the Authority for Educational Buildings which is responsible for schools buildings design and construction approval.
The research concluded which determinants of international sustainable rating systems are discussed through the Authority’s documents, and which are not, and gives recommendations for the State of Authority’s design criteria in the form of guidelines for robust sustainable enhancements.
