 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 According to the Preamble of the Directive 2010/31/ΕU, buildings (residences, public buildings, commercial buildings, etc.): According to the Preamble of the Directive 2010/31/ΕU, buildings (residences, public buildings, commercial buildings, etc.): Introduction

According to the Goal for 2020 for the Member States of the EU: According to the Goal for 2020 for the Member States of the EU:  20% of energy from renewable sources (RES)  20% energy saving  20% reduction in CO 2 emissions Introduction

Today’s presentation: Today’s presentation: PROJECT: PROJECT: OF CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION IN ENERGY SAVING ISSUES PARTICULARLY IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS Introduction

 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 in Greece are: Public Buildings

ENERGY EFFICIENCY CERTIFICATE (EEC) For ALL Buildings of the Public Sector in Greece, it is required:  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

 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 Measures concerning Public Buildings in Greece – National Energy Saving Objectives: Public Buildings

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.

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 WP3: Buildings’ Energy Audit

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

Elementary School – Agios Germanos Kindergarten – Agios Germanos Selected Buildings (Municipality of Prespes): WP4: Constituting Buildings Energy Efficient

Selected Building (Resen Municipality): Gymnasium – Resen Gymnasium – Resen WP4: Constituting Buildings Energy Efficient

First results: Great variety in masonry – insulation issues Great variety in masonry – insulation issues (three masonry types at the school of Agios Germanos) (three masonry types at the school of Agios Germanos) Weakness in heating management Weakness in heating management Nonexistent energy management system Nonexistent energy management system Great losses from thermal bridges Great losses from thermal bridges Municipality of Prespes: WP4: Constituting Buildings Energy Efficient

Very large buildings, not in good energy condition Very large buildings, not in good energy condition Very hard heating conditions Very hard heating conditions Nonexistent energy management system Nonexistent energy management system Resen Municipality: 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 WP4: Constituting Buildings Energy Efficient

Creation of two Information Centers on Energy issues, one at each participating Region for providing services: Information Information Consultancy Consultancy Educational Educational Project Development Project Development Technical Technical Buildings on-line Buildings on-line WP5: Creation of Information Centers
