Renovating and environmentally optimizing educational buildings is crucially important in order to achieve optimal functionality for the said educational buildings, this can be achieved when the buildings fulfill their functional purpose while maintaining compatibility and harmony with surrounding environmental elements and creating an interior climate of comfort, which is considered of the main goals of the educational process. One of the primary environmental solutions to this: is designing a building envelop appropriate for the surrounding environmental elements, so as to achieve thermal comfort for the occupants, while maintaining energy conservation measures for HVAC systems. This paper overviews an applied study made on a building of a private school of engineering in Cairo-Egypt, aimed at decreasing heat gain levels to attain thermal comfort, thus improving energy efficiency accordingly. This was done via calculating thermal conductivity (U- value) of all elements constituting the building envelop, and testing its compliance with requirements for the Egyptian Code for Buildings Energy Conservation, and Egyptian Code for Buildings Thermal Insulation. Also, by modifying the building envelop and using climate appropriate treatments. Thestudy used calculations for the rate of heat gain of the building envelop elements, The treatment methodology applied the use of insulating materials that comply with the code of thermal insulation specific to the building’s location, which offers the required climatic and thermal comfort, while maintaining full functionality for the educational process throughout the application phase
