Introduction

Our society has continued to behave in an unsustainable way. This is reflected in the transcendence of the sustainable boundaries of our planet. Despite the warning that our ecological footprint has been and continues to grow at an unbearable rate, we have followed the "work for the usual" (David & Shahla, 2019). Making it necessary to implement the foundations of sustainable environmental development as one of the cornerstones of advancing progress, prosperity and welfare. And the subsequent creation of a sustainable society that preserves of right the future generations to friendly environmental resources (Aissa et al., 2019). With increased attention to society and the environment, quality is the difference in determining the centres of organizations in the markets. Quality requires institutions to fully pool their Capabilities and resources to achieve their goals efficiently and effectively. And if talking about quality, it is related to talk about the criteria’s specifications resources (alsgarawha & ismail, 2013).

Literature Review

The Sustainability

The word (sustaina) is derived from the Latin (sustinere), (to hold: tinere) It means support and preservation, and (up: sus) Meaning up to high. Since the beginning of human history on Earth and human consciousness has changed a lot, as well as the vision of the environment and deal with it, and with the increase of the age of human beings on the ground increased its brutality towards the environment; where the human began to believe that the environment was created only for his service and all what Harness to do what he wants, Reached the highest degree of infringement on the environment with the beginning of the era of the Industrial Revolution and continued to this day in humanly forms. With this gradual change in human behaviour and its interaction with the environment, specifically in 1962 when Rachel Carlson published her book Silent Spring, which debated the effects of the industrial revolution on the environment for the first time, the author noted in her book that humanly species of birds disappeared as a result of use "How much I fear that the coming spring will be silent without birds singing in the forest, and the desert is full of locusts, and the landscape of the stars and the moon is distorted," she said resources (Alhady, 2016). Since then Human began to see the consequences of his actions to the environment, and this book is a major turning point in human thought and the first basis that paved the way for the emergence of sustainability, and then continue to attack the way of human thinking in the era of the Industrial Revolution; followed by a campaign by lawyer Ralph Nader in 1965 In 1968, the first meeting of the so-called Club of ROME, an informal association of leading independent figures in politics, trade and science, was a men and women of long-term thinking who contributed in a multidisciplinary and comprehensive way to reach To a future Best. Their first concern was to examine the increase in the world's unsustainable economic consumption resources (hongren et al., 2018) Recently, attention has been to nature and the environment through the sustainability where it’s know a called the biotic environment of diverse organisms Natural for factors that maintain their existence for the longest time possible. And the Sustainability is from the point of view of institutions are increasingly applying the key success factors of cost and efficiency, quality, time, and innovation to promote sustainability the development and implementation of strategies to achieve long-term financial, social, and environmental goals resources hongren et al. (2018) And the Pillars of sustainability as follows: (Asra, 2021).

1. Environmental Sustainability Ecological integrity is maintained, all of earth’s environmental systems are kept in balance while natural resources within them are consumed by humans at a rate where they are able to replenish themselves.

2. Economic Sustainability Human communities across the globe are able to maintain their independence and have access to the resources that they require, financial and other, to meet their needs. Economic systems are intact and activities are available to everyone, such as secure sources of livelihood. (IAEE, 2021)

3. Social Sustainability Universal human rights and basic necessities are attainable by all people, who have access to enough resources in order to keep their families and communities healthy and secure. Healthy communities have just leaders who ensure personal, labour and cultural Rights are respected and all people are protected from discrimination.

4. Human It means preserving human capital, which consists of (health, education, knowledge, skill, leadership, and access to services). Figure1. Show Pillars of Sustainability (Asra, 2021).

Scope of the Sustainability

It is the domain or community in which sustainability is applied at home, and its existence is usually associated with a range of social, economic and environmental factors that together constitute full support for sustainability in all its components (xiaonong, 2019) And the application of sustainability in any dynamic environment depends on four principles As follows:

1. Consumption: is the rate of utilization of natural ingredients that are an important catalyst for the sustainability of living organisms, and the higher the consumption rate, the more sustainable the life, and vice versa.

2. The Resources: All natural and industrial sources that contribute to sustainability support. When resources are adequate and appropriate to the number of organisms, this will help sustain their life as long as possible.

3. The Technology: the modern scientific influence on the nature of life that leads to its development. When technology is used correctly, it leads to sustainability by providing a range of modern scientific discoveries in medicine and biology (Ismaal, 2011).

The Sustainability objectives

There are many goals of achieved by sustainability as follows: (mart & peter, 2019)

1. Provide a range of solutions to maintain the proportions of global food. Reducing poverty rates and trying to find alternative ways to deal with economic crises that provide equal financial stakes to individuals.

2. It is essential to provide comprehensive, adequate and sustainable education through the emergence of new studies that provide ideas for adequate support for sustainability.

3. Take advantage of natural, industrial sources of energy to provide reliable materials at affordable prices and within the financial capabilities of people.

4. To ensure the provision of a health sector capable of reducing the prevalence of diseases, and provide appropriate remedies to reduce the global health crises.

The International Criteria’s For the Sustainability

After the nature was for the human being a source of the hope and the well-being. The nature has evolved with the development of science, technology and modern industries. on the second half of the twentieth century increased the environmental problems have represented by pollution of water, air, and the high degree of warming of the earth (global warming) As well as the depletion of non-renewable resources and the deterioration of nature and human health associated with nature. To solve these problems must be adopted an urgent to use global sustainability criteria’s to address all these problems (Hanna, 2019). It is known the Sustainability Criteria’s and certifications are voluntary, usually third party-assessed, norms and criteria’s relating to environmental, social, and ethical and food safety issues, adopted by companies to demonstrate the performance of their organizations or products in specific areas (Jouseph, 2018). And the Global Sustainability Criteria’s Board has sole responsibility for setting globally accepted criteria’s for sustainability reporting (Alalwan & Bek, 2017) And The GRI Criteria’s are the first global criteria’s for sustainability reporting. They feature a modular, interrelated structure, and represent the global best practice for reporting on a range of economic, environmental and social impacts (Alsrwa, 2019) in Table 1.

Table 1 Show the Basic Criteria for Sustainability

Leadership Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)

This system was developed by the American Council (USGBC) for Green Buildings in 1998.An internationally recognized system for the design, construction and operation of environmentally sensitive and high-performance buildings (Aynna, 2021) Or is an internationally recognized system of design, construction and operation of high-performance, green buildings. Where the rating system evaluates and measures the impact and performance of an enterprise in Figure 2.

The Advantages of LEED Certification: (Paul & Kath, 2019)

There are many advantages to obtaining a certificate of LEED As follows:

1. The building valuation will be increased. & the liability will be reduces.

2. Enhance the relationships between the employees

3. Reduce the Usage of water and energy

4. Enhance the Indoor air quality.

5. The cost of Maintenance and operation will be reduced.

6. It wills much more innovation to improve the performance of the building.

7. Reduce the construction waste during the process (hiyam & suna, 2019).

8. The Sustainability goals will be attract companies.

9. Reduce the 'sick building' phenomenon

10. Improve the employee performance

11. Enhance The reuse of recycled materials

2. The Water Efficiency

3. The Energy & the Atmosphere

4. The Materials & the Resources

5. The Indoor Environmental of Quality

6. The Innovation in Design. The Figure 3. Show the LEED Scheme. (Ibrahim et al., 2010).

The LEED system in the Laboratories: (peng & yongze, 2018:1)

The Laboratory facilities present a unique challenge for energy efficient and sustainable design, with their inherent complexity of systems, health and safety requirements, long-term flexibility and adaptability needs, and energy use intensity, and environmental impacts And the Laboratories (labs) are the workrooms used by specialists or people instructed to carry out experiments for the research and usage of natural scientific processes. Such as (chemical, physical, medical, microbiological, & genetic engineering laboratories) and the Following classification shall be used for determining size of lab: (Egbert, 2015).

1. Small sized: A lab receiving samples of up to 100 subjects

2. Medium sized: A lab receiving samples of up to 101- 400 subjects per day

3. Large sized: A lab receiving samples of more than 401-1000 subjects per day

4. Very large sized: A lab receiving more than 1000 subjects per day

5. Multiple locations: A lab with more than one location in the same district with same legal identity.

Concept of the Quality

That quality began in the 1920s, It then spread to North America and Western Europe until it became the subject of the times, specifically when Taylor developed the concept of planning and Shehwart, the concept of statistical quality control methods (Asadi, 2021) The Quality (a word derived from the Latin word Qualities) which means that quality is a measure of excellence or the absence of defects, deficiencies and large variations by strict adherence to measurable and verifiable criteria’s to achieve homogeneity and uniformity in output satisfy the specific requirements of customers or users (Geoffery, 2017) And the Quality can be described as representing doing the right thing the right way and at the right time, or is (doing the right thing from the first time, and continuing to do the right thing every time (susnanth & adrion, 2017).

Rationalize costs: rational behaviour is one of the basic pillars on which economic units build their goals and objectives to reach the Sustainability. There are several concepts of the term rationalization means Rationalize or controlling, and it is defined as “those decisions that efficiently achieve the goals of the institution.” (Asadi, 2018) rationalization is the reorganization of the company in order to increase its efficiency. This organization may lead to an expansion or decrease in the size of the company, a change in policy, or a change in strategy related to specific products. Cost rationalization (a methodology for preventing the depletion of economic resource inputs in the establishments by using systems and methods and raising production efficiency). The concept of cost rationalization means the optimal use of available resources in order to reduce waste and increase production efficiency (Asadi, 2018).

The Environment Remediation

The development of human civilization led to a severe imbalance in nature and the occurrence of various types of pollution. Is known as the ecology or prediction science is the science concerned with the scientific study of the human relationship with his physical environment surrounding him, the relationships between all living organisms such as plants and animals, and finding the vital links between them, and between them and the surrounding environment, which affect their distribution and availability in nature (Rubi et al., 2020). A set of information about the benefits of ecosystems, and how to obtain a healthy environment for future generations through the use of natural resources in a way that is harmless to the environment, and the surrounding environment of a living organism consists of: living factors such as other living organisms that share the same habitat, non-living factors or The so-called physical properties, examples include climate and geology (sarangi et al., 2020). That Environmental pollution a challenge for sustainable development Increasing industrialization and urbanization inevitably generates a number of environmental challenges in many areas of the world. More and more gaseous pollutants are released into the atmosphere. Vast amounts of municipal sewage sludge are being created. Water resources are polluted with so-called emerging organic contaminants, for example pharmaceuticals, insecticides, surfactants (substances that reduce a liquid’s surface tension) or endocrine disruptors (chemicals interfering with the body’s endocrine system). POPs – Persistent Organic Pollutants – pose a significant risk to human health and the environment around the entire globe. They are organic compounds that are resistant to environmental degradation through chemical, biological and photolytic processes (susnanth & adrion, 2017).

Research Methodology

Research instrument: The theoretical aspect the author relied on the inferential descriptive approach through a group of sources and research papers published in scientific journals related to the subject of the study and on articles, reports and studies published on the Internet.in additional to The practical aspect The author relied on the descriptive and analytical approach to study the actual reality of data and information with a set of records and financial statements of the department, the study sample and personal interviews with officials with specialization, and the adoption of the inductive approach to reach the results by using the cost system based on the activities of ABC as a basic rule for calculating costs.

From the previous Table 7, we note that in the case of obtaining the LEED criteria’s certificate, costs will be rationalized by 12.80% through the following equation. (27/210 =12.80).

Conclusion

1. The LEED criteria’s certificate leads to sustainable laboratory quality

2. The LEED criteria’s leads to rationalizing the cost of Remediation environment by eliminating any additional burdens and costs

3. The LEED criteria’s leads to rationalizing the cost for inspections by 12.80%.
