Abstract

This study aims to explore the applications of sustainable green design in museums and heritage sites, focusing on the importance of using sustainable practices to preserve cultural heritage and reduce environmental impacts. The researcher used a descriptive and analytical approach, collecting data through two surveys: one directed at the students of the Faculty of Archaeology at Cairo University and the other aimed at faculty members. Data was also collected from various sources such as previous studies, environmental reports, and case studies. The study included models of green museums. The results showed that green design contributes to improving energy efficiency, protecting artifacts from environmental degradation, and enhancing the visitor experience. The study recommends integrating green design practices into academic curricula, increasing government support for sustainable projects, and raising environmental awareness among professionals in the field. It also suggests encouraging collaboration across disciplines and developing sustainable environmental policies.
