Abstract
Egypt has an overpopulation problem. The population reached 102 million in early 2020,
according to the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS, (2020). The annual
population increases by 2.5 percent and is expected to reach 151 million people by 2050. Number of students
in Egypt is big to the number of classrooms, especially with the high increase of overpopulation. Egypt has
24 million students up to grade 9 distributed on 45000 governmental schools and 7500 private schools as per
CAPMAS, (2020). Today the private sector shares the government in constructing the educational buildings.
The building and construction sector is one of the most important areas of intervention. It provides
opportunities to limit the environmental impact and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development
goals. Nowadays, green buildings have a high impact on society. Now designers are known that fresh air
improves the indoor environment, and water savings are important. Green building is well-known because of
their environmental benefit.
Green construction is a method of wisely using resources to create high-quality, healthier, more
energy-efficient homes, educational buildings, and commercial buildings. Sustainable design is finding the
balance between high-quality construction and low environmental impact. Viewing sustainable building as a
process is important because green-building success isn’t just a matter of building with green materials. Still,
the green building combines materials and processes to maximize efficiency, durability, and savings.
Continuous building maintenance will increase the building’s life span.
This thesis introduces an analytical study to measure the green level for the educational buildings and
develop the green target assessment using LEED and GPRS systems. More than 100 educational
conventional and green alternative buildings are investigated. Many conventional educational buildings don’t
meet the minimum green level that why upgrading the school is performed by changing many parameters in
the design to meet the minimum green level requirements for each LEED/GPRS level.
Analysis of the Lifecycle costing elements is performed. The initial costs, energy, water costs,
running cost and environmental impact costs are analyzed and are analyzed. The associated premium initial
cost for LEED / GPRS levels is defined for the educational buildings. The whole lifecycle cost present value
for the conventional and the green alternatives are analyzed using the deterministic and stochastic methods.
The best-fit regression analysis is used to develop LCC forecasting models. A case study and verification of
the forecasting models could be achieved in this research. Sensitivity analysis is to assess the uncertainty
linked to lifecycle cost elements.
The research will provide the best alternative selection for the educational conventional and green
buildings that meet the sustainability criteria and verify the minimum overall lifecycle cost. The alternatives
are compared using a net present value for the deterministic and stochastic methods. The selection was
verified using the risk assessment with an efficient frontier analysis procedure. The selection will assist the
engineers, real estate developers, tenants, and school owners in selecting education buildings that meet the
sustainability criteria and minimum overall lifecycle cost
