When our country is viewed from this point of view, it is seen that energy efficiency studies aimed to reduce the energy density value have become more and more important and policies are implemented in this direction. Therefore, in this study, an exemplary study was conducted to determine the saving potential of the energy used in Turkey. In order to find energy usage in the public buildings in KOP Region, which includes 7 cities in Central Anatolia Region (Karaman, Aksaray, Kirikkale, Kirsehir, Yozgat, Nevsehir, and Nigde), the amount of energy consumed per person and per square meter was determined. The calculation was made based on the energy consumption values obtained from public buildings (administrative buildings, schools, dormitories, sports facilities, prisons, and universities) in 7 cities in the KOP Region between 2014-2018 years. According to the obtained data, it is observed that energy consumption is high in mass living areas of public buildings. The results are encouraging for the future works to use energy efficiency in public buildings.enEnergy Saving PotentialPublic BuildingsCentral Anatolia RegionBook Part100109info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessWOS:00088614760001210.1007/978-3-031-04375-8_12N/A
