Abstract: The building sector is the world’s most significant energy consumer. In addition to that, water consumption and increased waste are some of the most significant issues. Owing to the need to find a solution to this problem, the concept of green buildings has emerged. Green buildings are building types that consume less energy and are constructed with recyclable materials, in harmony with nature. The adoption of the concept of green building in societies is very important in this regard. This study aimed to understand the awareness level of people about green buildings. Its scope was to determine the level of awareness of people living in buildings with and without an energy identity certificate in Adana. The results were created in Microsoft Excel, and the survey questions were measured using SPSS. Data analysis was performed by the WEKA tool using the association rule mining method. According to the result, most of the participants did not have sufficient information about the subjects. The results show that nowadays, most people do not understand this building type and what it means to the next generation.
