7.  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

8. 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

9.  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
