“…Figure 1 illustrates the interactive management target between sustainable objectives and strategies and the applicable sequence of value engineering in construction projects, representing the integration management field in analyses with strategies, scope, and objectives, which can be applied to construction projects' sustainability value engineering management (SVM). LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) aims to achieve six main principles set for sustainable construction [34,35], including conserving resource consumption, protecting the natural environment, creating a healthy and non-toxic environment through resource reuse, and using renewable, recyclable resources in the environment built. LEED is a rating system focused on several building project types based on a points system, and the higher rating system for the design and construction of entire buildings focuses on accessibility [36].…”

“…This rating system is for new installations or significant renovations [37]. The LEED for Schools 2009 checklist from the LEED V4 rating system used for school campuses and buildings comprises a checklist encompassing eight categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, material and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation, design process, and regional priority [34,35,37,38]. Appendix A Figure A1 depicts the process of integrating the sustainable standard LEED for Schools 2009 checklist from the LEED V4 rating system standard with numerical accounting points from LEED V4.…”

The integration of sustainability standards and value engineering methods in public education projects is a significant concern, as it ensures the well-being and sustainability goals of students, lecturers, and employees. This study aims to enhance sustainability within public education campuses by utilizing value engineering processes that establish a balanced correlation between the available budget costs and the sustainability costs that affect educational objectives, strategies, and the overall sustainability of the environment. In order to evaluate the integration of value engineering and the sustainability rating system “LEED protocols” for schools, the study utilized HAP (Hourly Analysis Program) software to perform numerical analysis, with the objective of improving environmental efficiency and cost-effectiveness in school buildings from the perspective of both male and female students. By applying this approach to all engineering disciplines, systems, and materials involved in the project, the study achieved impressive results, including a reduction in energy usage by 53.67%, a cost reduction of 27.48% from the total project budget, and 13 points earned in credit C1 and credit C2 in the Energy and Atmosphere EA category in LEED 2009. These findings are of great importance for the planning and execution of construction projects, specifically in the context of educational infrastructure, and provide valuable insights into the construction and renovation of school buildings, which can be used to enhance the safety, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of these facilities.
