    Abstract

    This document reports the importance of the category of consciousness and
    education for sustainability in the school environment. Education in school has a potential to
    make the benefits of the building construction visible for society and media, showing to the
    students, parents and communities how sustainability in built environment could improve the
    people life in economic, social and environment aspects. Thus, this paper addresses the main
    events related to sustainability, such as the Stockholm Conference, the Brundtland report,
    United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) and Agenda 21, until
    reaching the necessity of the elaboration of Methodologies for environmental assessment of
    building, and later, the development of the specific methodologies according to the buildings. It
    is also described some examples of sustainability in schools in Germany, Finland and Italy and
    what kind of sustainable systems those countries are currently using.
