| Sustainable development is the development and reconstruction of land, in addition to maintaining the sustainability and maintenance of this renovation and reconstruction, without compromising of the balance that God has had created for the components of the Universe. In order to achieve such ecological balanced integration, and architect must be a thoughtful and innovator. So, the architect should plan and design for the benefits of the land and humans. His work shouldn't have any negative impact on the environmental balance. Therefore, the architect will act according to the Universe system in reconstruction and preservation of the nature to guarantee a prospective future for the new generations to benefit and enjoy the nature with its beauty. It is important to shed light on these schools and ways to achieve the principles of sustainability in the development architectural and urban design to be the nucleus of the influence of society towards the development of urbanization and the environment. Raising the environmental awareness of students and teachers through positive environmental activities aimed at reducing the negative impacts on the environment, especially in the field of water, energy, air and waste. The research problem can be represented in not applying the concepts of sustainability in the planning, design and development of public school buildings in Egypt in general and the certificate of quality of education in particular, which negatively affects the performance of schools environmentally, economically and socially, as well as at the level of scientific students and their understanding of the concept of sustainability; and its role in establishing an environmentally friendly urban society. Therefore, the focus of the research has been on a basic education governmental school in a Giza, (CSIR & Built Environment Unit, An Architect's Guide to Designing for Sustainability, Pretoria, South Africa, CAA, November 2006) manifesting the reality of education in this case study, to identify the concept of sustainable school and its principles and applications at the urban level, to take advantage of those applications in line with the reality of public schools in the Giza governorate. Also the used procedures in this research was conducted after a field visit to the assigned school and taking measuring devices and tools to assess some variables concerning air quality and sound density; then to prepare an analytical study for Al-Ahram School and assess its level of sustainability by using a methodology for assessing sustainability in schools called LEED. DCSF, Sustainable Schools for pupils- communities and the environment, the eight doorways to sustainability, U.K, 2006). The researcher used induction and descriptive causal comparative and analytical approach in various stages, and the sample is the government school of the pyramids of basic education in Giza, and the procedures used to search after a field visit to the school and the measurement of some variables of air quality and sound intensity At the end of the study, the researchers concluded that the public schools in Giza governorate are at a level that does not help in achieving sustainability. The research also found the importance of spreading the idea of education in open spaces solve some of the problems of this type of schools such as not belonging to the school of students and increasing student density. And by reaching the school's assessment through the most important standards of quality of education and the General Authority for Educational Buildings and LEED standards, with research tools as interviewing experts and those responsible for development in public schools and questionnaire forms, the results were drawn on the reality of public schools in Giza Governorate. The majority of sustainability standards and quality of education. The main objective of the research is to achieve sustainability in public schools through the development of existing buildings, taking into account the need to adopt the principles of sustainability in urbanization and to propose criteria that meet the requirements of the Egyptian environment, including standards of satisfaction and quality standards of education, or when designing future schools. | ||||
