The environmental influence of building fund is colossal. Traditional buildings exploit excessive amount energy, water, land, and raw materials for construction utilization. This conscienceless attitude towards the resources eventually causes disruption natural balance, which brought into question survival human civilization. Current situation has triggered a huge response in global community, woke her awareness prompted man to turn around return nature order establish initial state balance. Statistical data indicates that educational institutions are second place from aspect energy consumption commercial sector with account just over 11% total used by this sector. A great part preschool facilities Serbia dates back period time when there were no eco-friendly thinking design process construction. Research shown these older construction, inefficient often dysfunctional disrupted parameters stay comfort. significant built actually neglected without planed strategic steps regular keeping maintenance. study defines valorizes concrete methods environmental, energy-efficient economic reshaping accordance pre-defined standard, will provide healthier living conditions, reduce negative effects on environment climate changes achieve savings. Applied functional - technical solutions international pre-school analyzed identify their positive characteristics potential. Gathered knowledge foreign practical experiences creating models adaptable areas needs Serbia. main objective research seen tendency determine emphasize direction future green architectural practice area pre-schools institutions’ design. basic idea initiate new activity imperatively includes concept principles architecture. Final results mentioned well thought out detailed successful buildings. With performances, ''green'' institutions, as group public purpose facilities, addition impact growth development residing children population, directly contribute efficiency increase reduction harmful impacts environment. realization architecture requires active cooperation all factors community.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.sace.12.3.13023
