Energy conservation in the building sector in Greece.

Author(s) : NOMIDIS D.

Summary

The specific energy consumption per year and per m2 for the different types of buildings (residential, commercial, offices, schools, hospitals, hotels) as well as the breakdown of this specific energy consumption according to energy use (heating, cooling, lighting, equipment) is discussed. The impact from the increased use of air conditioners on electricity demand begins to become a serious problem. Another factor which seriously raises the energy consumption level during the summer period is the urban heat island effect which is observed in urban areas with a high population. The Greek government has taken some decisions which are detailed.
