In the face of ongoing climate change, increasing importance is being attached to the implementation of sustainable development principles. The construction sector has been identified as one of the key sectors in terms of its potential contribution to achieving environmental goals.

In Poland, the number of residential buildings with environmental certificates (BREEAM, LEED) is small, and particular technological solutions are more often the part of activities referred to as "greenwashing". The market situation in Poland makes it unnecessary for developers to strive for customers who care about the characteristics of green properties, because there is no external pressure on market development in such terms. Therefore, developers do not mobilize to scope out the needs of potential customers for sustainable housing. 

The aim of the research is to check the level of awareness among potential apartment buyers. The research is a part of a larger project that aims to identify the importance of sustainability in housing among stakeholders such as residents, developers, managers and local authorities.
