Analyzing occupant behaviour is essential to reduce energy consumption. The motivation, reason or drivers of unsustainable behaviour must be identified to come up with effective solutions. While there are solutions for excess energy use, such as timing for electric devices, sensors for lighting control; there is no solution for purposely leaving lights or electronic devices on. As can be observed by the researcher, occupants tend to have a behaviour of leaving the lights on, due to security and wellbeing concerns when they are not actively using them. An online questionnaire survey is conducted for the selected neighbourhood of 100. Yıl İşçi Blokları with 100 participants. While prevalence of the behaviour is measured, the underlying results are analysed and presented. This paper presents the preliminary results of the study.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOccupant BehaviourEnergy WasteUnsustainable BehaviourConference Object479484
