Abstract

With the rising environmental problems there are international movements towards sustainability and greening the built environments in order to mitigate the negative environmental impacts of buildings and human activities on environment and human health. This paper presents a range of K-12 Green Schools that were intentionally designed to utilize school building as a 3D-text book for Environmental Education (EE). The aim of this paper is to examine the methods and strategies of designing green school as a teaching tool through case study analysis of the selected schools. The cases provide a diversity of geographic locations, climates, green strategies and coasts. The research depends on the descriptive analytical approach for literature review; multiple-case study analysis to investigate the attributes of green schools that teach. The results revealed a set of approaches for utilizing green schools as a 3D-textbook for EE
