IPA Cross-Border Program:
“Greece-The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 2007-2013”
which
is co-funded by the European Union by 75%
and by National Funds of the participating countries by 25%.
Introduction
According to the Preamble of the Directive 2010/31/ΕU, buildings
(residences, public buildings, commercial buildings, etc.):
 constitute the largest energy consumer
 constitute the largest source of carbon dioxide
emissions in the EU
 are responsible for approximately 40% of the
total energy consumption
Introduction
According to the Goal 20-20-20 for 2020 for the Member States of
the EU:
 20% of energy from renewable sources (RES)
 20% energy saving
 20% reduction in CO2 emissions
Introduction
Today’s presentation:
PROJECT:
OF CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION IN
ENERGY SAVING ISSUES PARTICULARLY
IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Public Buildings
Public Buildings in Greece are:









typically large (schools, hospitals, city halls, local
government buildings…)
in a large proportion old (historical, protected)
with problems at the building shell
with old E/Μ equipment
badly constructed
badly maintained
absence of energy management systems
luck of interest
extremely energy consuming
Public Buildings
For ALL Buildings of the Public Sector in Greece, it is required:
ENERGY EFFICIENCY CERTIFICATE (EEC)
 EEC
is
placed
at
a
conspicuous position at the
buildings’ entrance.
 The role of the public
buildings’ energy responsible
was established.
 Special provisions, aiming at
improving
the
buildings’
energy
efficiency
were
enacted.
Public Buildings
Measures concerning Public Buildings in Greece – National
Energy Saving Objectives:

Renovation of 3% per year of privately owned
– public buildings from 2014 to 2020

From 2019, all new public buildings, and
from 2021, all new buildings, must be of
nearly zero energy consumption

WP3: Buildings’ Energy Audit
Principal Activity of the Project:
Performing measurements and detailed Energy Audits
in 50 Public Buildings of the two participating
Municipalities
WP3: Buildings’ Energy Audit
Equipment
Equipment already available at the
laboratories of the Technological
Educational Institute of Western
Macedonia.
WP3: Buildings’ Energy Audit
Energy Audits in 50 Public Buildings:
New architectural designs
WP3: Buildings’ Energy Audit
Energy Audits in 50 Public Buildings:
Thermal Conductance measurement of structural materials-ISO9869
WP3: Buildings’ Energy Audit
Energy Audits in 50 Public Buildings:
Calculation of the Thermal Conductance coefficient –
Development of special software
WP3: Buildings’ Energy Audit
Energy Audits in 50 Public Buildings:
Thermography with IR camera – thermal bridges determination
WP3: Buildings’ Energy Audit
Energy Audits in 50 Public Buildings:
Central heating systems’ condition evaluation
WP3: Buildings’ Energy Audit
Energy Audits in 50 Public Buildings:
Heating and DHW (Domestic Hot Water) network’s condition
evaluation
WP4: Constituting Buildings Energy Efficient
Energy Efficiency Studies, Issuance of Tender Documents
and implementation of measures so at to constitute 3
out of the 50 Public Buildings Energy Efficient.
WP4: Constituting Buildings Energy Efficient
Selected Buildings (Municipality of Prespes):
Elementary School – Agios Germanos
Kindergarten – Agios Germanos
WP4: Constituting Buildings Energy Efficient
Selected Building (Resen Municipality):
Gymnasium – Resen
WP4: Constituting Buildings Energy Efficient
First results:
Municipality of Prespes:
 Great variety in masonry – insulation issues
(three masonry types at the school of Agios Germanos)
 Weakness in heating management
 Nonexistent energy management system
 Great losses from thermal bridges
WP4: Constituting Buildings Energy Efficient
Resen Municipality:
 Very large buildings, not in good energy condition
 Very hard heating conditions
 Nonexistent energy management system
WP4: Constituting Buildings Energy Efficient
Addressing Energy Problems:

Installation of external thermal insulation – thickness 10cm

Redesign and construction of the heating network

Heat pumps water-air

Installation of a smart heating management system
(developed by the Technological Educational Institute of
Western Macedonia)

Replacement of illuminants with type led

Building energy management system (ΚΝΧ)
WP4: Constituting Buildings Energy Efficient
Desired Outcome:
Class upgrade from G & F to Α
WP5: Creation of Information Centers
Creation of two Information Centers on Energy issues, one
at each participating Region for providing services:
 Information
 Consultancy
 Educational
 Project Development
 Technical
 Buildings on-line
Cross-Border Cooperation
Other Project Activities:
 Production of a Databank on Energy Efficiency
International Practices.
 Development of a Guide on Buildings’ Energy Audit
along with Measurements.
 Issuance of Energy Certificates for each building.
Cross-Border Cooperation
The final results:
 Will be diffused in the most dynamic way in order to
raise the awareness of citizens and authorities.
 Will constitute examples in environmental and energy
issues for public buildings.
Cross-Border Cooperation
The final results:
 Will form the basis for the improvement of the existing
buildings and the designing and construction of future
buildings in the region.
 Will provide incentives for the reduction of the energy
wastage of the country’s public buildings.
”Adjacent” benefits
 The issuance of Energy Certificates constitutes the buildings
of the Municipality of Prespes directly exploitable.
 The folder creation for the buildings of the Municipality.
 The maturation of buildings’ energy studies.
 The almost absolute energy improvement of two municipal
buildings with strong social interest.
”Adjacent” benefits
 The direct resources saving from the part of the
Municipality.
 The completion of a scientific study – a study with no
precedent in terms of number of buildings and of an area
of high climatic interest as well.
 Sharing of expertise – Exchanging know how.
”Adjacent” benefits
Mostly, the joint working groups of:
Dimitris, Vaia, Thodoris, Stelios, Dimitris, Basilis,
Argiris, Kostas, Charitini, Sofia, Anna, George, Nikos,
and of:
Filippos, Vaggelis, Kostas, Giannis
Maria, Marianna, Milko, Annie, Ivona, Zlatko, Boris,
Krste, Naum, Daniela
have managed to build
cooperation and friendship
relationships
of
trust,
