Abstract
As in all building types, water conservation is important in various ways in primary education buildings that see intensive use. In addition to environmental and economic benefi ts, systematic application of sustainable water management in elementary education buildings also makes a positive contribution to the education of future generations. The 'Eco-Schools International Programme', which is an organization established for achieving these goals, was established in 1994 with European Union support. The programme aims to introduce environmental management systems into primary schools within the scope of ISO 14001/EMAS. It has a crucial task of educating new generations and sustainable development throughout the world. All the previous studies conducted on eco-schools indicate that they are healthier places to learn and work, they have minimal negative impact on the environment and they have lower operating costs compared to conventional schools.
