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 goalsfortheenvironment(HealthySchools,2013). Otherbenefitsacquiredwithsustainablerenovationsforschoolbuildingsare:increasethelife cycleofthebuilding,energyandwaterefficiency,reducedtheoperatingandmaintenancecosts, thepollutionandlandfillwasteandalsoimprovedthehealthofstudentsandstaff,theindoor airqualityandreducedabsenteeism.(OhioEnergyProject2000).

LEEDandBREEAMhadalreadycreatedspecificsystemsforschools,BREEAMSchoolsandLEED for schools. One of the benefices of the methodology BREEAM Schools is about the consciousness and education for sustainability, providing a learning resource through the demonstrationofhigherenvironmentalstandardstopupils,staffandthebroadercommunity (BREEAMSchools,2004).TheLEEDforschoolsdoesn’thaveanycategorysimilartothis. 2450  ConnectingPeopleandIdeas.ProceedingsofEUROELECS2015.Guimarães.Portugal.ISBN978Ͳ989Ͳ96543Ͳ8Ͳ9 2 EXAMPLESOFSUSTAINABILITYINSCHOOLSINEUROPE The application of the sustainability system brings the building several benefits, such as inͲ creasedperformanceandbuildingquality,greatertransparencyintheplanningphaseandinthe constructionofthebuilding,securitysustainableplanning,andreducestheriskofaccidents.It isapowerfulmarketingtool,facilitatingandincreasingtheamountofrentandthesaleofthe property.Otheradvantagesofusingthissysteminabuildingwouldbethereductionoflifecycle costs, decrease in energy and water consume, user satisfaction (environmental comfort and qualityoflife)andimprovedpublicimage(DGNB,2011). 2.1 SustainabilityinschoolsinGermany 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 andriskstohumanhealthandtheenvironmentalsystem,thestructuralchangeofconsumption reductionexpenditureofenergyandpublicresourcesandsocialcooperation(Spindler,2012).

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 until2050.Thiscommitmentistoincreasetheeffectivenessofthesustainabledevelopment policyandproductivity,andalsocomplyobjectivesrequiredbythesustainabledevelopment Conference(Rio+20),theUN,theU.S.andtoparticipateinthesustainabledevelopmentof Europeancooperationnetworks(YmpäristöministeriöSuomi,2014).

Some examples of sustainable practices are building green roofs, teachingaboutbuildingsustainability,controlofwaterandenergyconsumption(LEEDperle Scuole). Italy has adapted the methodology of the Green Building Challenge to the Italian context, creatingitsownsystemofsustainability:TheProtocolloofITACAwasdraftedbytheInstituto perlaTrasparenzadegliAppaltiyCompatibilitàAmbientale,andconsistsofanationalsystemof accreditation of environmental sustainability.

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). 3 CONSCIOUSNESSANDEDUCATIONFORSUSTAINABILITY This paper mentioned the certificate KEKE, used in Finland, and the international certificate GreenFlagsanditsuseinGermanyandFinland.Thesecertificatesworktoinformandevaluate theconscientizationofstudentsandschoolemployees.
