INTRODUCTION
The last 12,000 years on the planet are related to the progress of human society. The man
gradually abandoned the nomadic lifestyle, and began to organize in small civilizations,
developingthecities.Attheendofthe18thcenturyuntilearly19thcentury,withtheindustrial
revolution,thedemographicpopulationincreased,sotheconcernabouttheinappropriateuse
ofnaturalresourcesgrew(Andrade,2009).
ThediscussionsonenvironmentalissuesbeganwiththefoundingoftheClubofRomein1968.
After four years, a small group of professionals in the field of construction associated with
scientists,madecleartheintentionswiththepublicationofthereport"Thelimitstogrowth"
(UNEP,2000).
In1983wascreatedtheWorldCommissionofEnvironment(WCE).ThisCommissiondeveloped
andpublishedthereportknownasthe"Brundtlandreport"in1987(UNEP,2000).Thisreport
consistsofaguidingofprinciplesforfuturestrategiesofhumandevelopmentandeconomic
growth where it was first defined the concept of sustainable development, being the most
famousofthestillexistingdefinitions:"Meettheneedsofthepresentwithoutcompromising
theabilityoffuturegenerationstomeettheirownneeds"(Brundtland1987).
In 1992, in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) a conference entitled "United Nations Conference on
2449
ConnectingPeopleandIdeas.ProceedingsofEUROELECS2015.Guimarães.Portugal.ISBN978Ͳ989Ͳ96543Ͳ8Ͳ9
EnvironmentandDevelopment(UNCED)"becameasymboloftheresponsibilityofallcountries
oftheworldtowardssustainability,callingurgentattentiontotheconservationofseveralforms
oflifeonEarthandpromotingactionstoimprovequalitythroughcooperationofallcountries
involvedinordertocreateaglobalenvironmentaldevelopmentpolicy(VonWeizsäcker,1992).
ThisConferencewasfollowedbythedocumentnamed'Agenda21',in1997,whichisaguide
for the creation of national development strategies and policies. It represents the United
Nationsplanofactionforthesustainabledevelopmentinthe21stcentury.(Pinto,1999).Inthe
sameyear,theUnitedNationsConventiononClimateChange(UNFCCC2),elaboratedtheKyoto
Protocol with the intention of contributing to the reduction of the greenhouse effect
(Hildemberg,2010).
Theenvironmentalimpactcausedbyconstructionhasincreasedthesepastfewdecades.The
constructionindustryisoneofthemainpolluteractivities,producingaround40%ofworld’s
totalemissionofGreenHouseGases(GHG)and180milliontonsofwasteperyear(OECD,2003).
It is also responsible for the use of 25Ͳ40% of the energy consumption and 50% of the raw
materialsextractedfromearthinthemembersofOCDEcountries(OrganizationforEconomic
CoͲoperationandDevelopment)(Gervásio,2010).
Inresponsetotheseproblems,afewinitiativesledtothefirstmethodologiesfortheassessment
ofsustainabilityforconstructionsthatstartedtoemerge.Overtheyears,severalmethodologies
for environmental assessment of building were created, like SBTool, LEED, BREAM, CASBEE,
HQE,NABERS,amongothers.
Oncetheratingsystemhasprofoundimpactontheresultsoftheevaluation,theattentionhas
been given to the evaluation studies and the strategies used to allocate the credits and the
questionsevaluated.Thesemethodologiesareadaptedaccordingtotheregionandthecountry
concerned(Lee,2013).
Overtime,thesemethodologieshavebecomemorespecific,tryingtobeadaptedtotheseveral
typesofconstructionsandfunctions.Nowadaystherearespecificmethodologiesforhospitals,
servicebuildings,urbanareas,schools,amongothers.
Thedevelopmentofamethodologyforschoolbuildingsisnecessarybecausetheenvironments
of schools are very particular. In addition, sustainability in a school building improves the
performance, safety and health of teachers, students and staff. Increased attention to the
construction,design,andoperationalpracticesofschoolscontributetonationalsustainability

SustainabledevelopmentishandledbytheEuropeanUnion(EU)asalongͲtermtask,whereits
28 members are encouraged to support and implement the requirements of environmental
actionplans.Since1971,GermanyhasanAdvisoryCouncilontheEnvironment(SRU).InApril
2001, it was created the Council for Sustainable Development (RNE), where 15 people from
public life, appointed for three years by the Federal Government, addressed interconnected
sustainability issues of, such as the politics, economy and society sustainable development
(Spindler,2012).
In April 2002, the RNE prepared a national sustainability strategy related to the actions of
government and society, through the creation of ten rules that seek a balance between
ecological, economic and social development, with the participation of all stakeholders in
sustainable development. Other aspects also taken into consideration are: sustainable
production,useofrenewablenaturalresourcesinthecontextoftheirregular,avoidinghazards

2.2 SustainabilityinschoolsinFinland
The use of sustainability assessment methodologies have been used to assist in the
environmental performance of buildings and building stocks. Currently, some countries have
used several methodologies that are designed to meet specific needs. In Finland, there are
specifictoolsusedforthispurpose(iisbe.org/annex31,2004).
The Commission on Sustainable Development in Finland in 2013 decided to develop a new
strategyforsustainabledevelopmentofsocialcommitmentforFinland,whichshouldbemade

sustainable practices. Some examples of sustainable practices are building green roofs,

According to Santoli et al. (2014), public buildings should serve as an example of energy
efficiency for the whole community, especially school buildings, since these are better to
promote ecological responsibility for future generations through a new lifestyle. There is a
necessity to find a balance between cost savings and comfort of users through an efficient
control system of humidity, temperature, air speed and purification. Currently, the Italian
schoolshavespentalotinenergyconsumptionandhaveprovenineffectiveinindoorairquality.
Inordertoreducetheemissionofharmfulgasestohealthatlocalandgloballevel,thereisa
necessity to change the behavior related to energy consumption. The reduction of energy
consumption in public schools and any public construction should be carried out in order to
decrease the cost and environmental impact. The Government needs to start a process of
regeneration of urban energy and should use the school building as a tool for this process
(Santolietal.,2014).

CONSCIOUSNESSANDEDUCATIONFORSUSTAINABILITY

The main function of this category is to promote and assess the awareness related to
sustainability in students, teachers and staff of a school. Even though there is a school built
