dc.description.abstractThis research outlines the perception of a learning environment regarding the impact of implementing green practice. Educational infrastructure needs green and environmentally friendly school units to achieve maximum comfort which enhance learning process. The concept of a modern school determines the nature of school infrastructure. Implementing Green Architecture and using environmentally friendly materials reflect current trends in sustainable design. A green/sustainable building design is one that achieves high performance, over the full life cycle by minimizing natural resource consumption through more efficient utilization of non renewable natural resources, land, water, and construction materials, including utilization of renewable energy resources to achieve net zero energy consumption. This research work shall be carried out through physical examination of existing facilities of various schools of environmental studies, interviews with students of respective schools, and finally and examination of existing documentations on the topic. From these examinations, the most favorable conditions shall be proposed to accommodate the following building techniques: Using sustainable building materials such as recycled plastic, cement board siding, Design building with small footprints that take up less land, design exterior spaces with permeable materials to let water soaks in, and landscape with native plant which requires no chemical treatment of fertilizer.Build for clean air and lungs using less toxic materials such as particle board, wheat board etc.en_US
