Organised by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the conference brings together educators, school administrators, facilities professionals, architects, designers, sustainability practitioners, policymakers, and community leaders working to create healthier, more sustainable, and resilient schools.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of the conference is to advance sustainability in K-12 education and school facilities. The event focuses on practical approaches to improving school buildings and learning environments through energy efficiency, healthy indoor environments, sustainable design, climate resilience, and educational programmes that engage students and communities.

Key Activities

The conference features educational sessions, workshops, networking opportunities, expert discussions, and opportunities to share successful school sustainability initiatives. Participants can explore approaches to green building, energy and water efficiency, healthy schools, climate action, sustainable operations, student engagement, and the integration of sustainability into education and school communities.

Significance

Its focus on both physical school environments and learning programmes allows participants to examine how schools can reduce environmental impacts while supporting healthier and more effective places for students and staff.

Expected Outcomes

Participants can expect practical ideas for improving school sustainability, exposure to successful programmes and projects, and opportunities to build relationships with education and green-building professionals. The event is intended to support knowledge sharing, collaboration, implementation of sustainability initiatives, and stronger connections between schools and the wider green building community.
