Abstract

Sustainable schools are energy-efficient, environmentally friendly buildings that provide a healthy living environment and promote environmental education. Reference examples from abroad show the characteristics of sustainable schools as an expression of ecological design, circular construction and the integration of learning environments with nature and sports activities. We were interested in whether teachers recognize the sustainable features of the schools they teach in and to what extent they integrate them into the curriculum. We conducted a short survey in some Slovenian elementary school and came to the conclusion that teachers are mostly unaware of the sustainable features of the schools and do not include them in their learning processes. The results of the study can be used as recommendations for the introduction of sustainable school principles into the pedagogical and architectural profession.
