saving light bulbs, high-efficiency burners and boilers, exhaust heat recovery, etc.);
- developing and implementing systems for the recovery/saving and/or substitution of conventional energy and water in the production process;
- the procurement costs of equipment for energy self-production from RES and substitution of fuels with natural gas or LPG;
- bioclimatic and small-scale building interventions to save energy/heat/water;
- conducting energy audits and benchmarking:
-streamlining of equipment, upgrade of facilities and installation of new energy efficient technologies;
- education and training of staff.
Several actions are included in the Energy Efficiency National Action Plans concerning the conservation and rational use of energy in the
residential and tertiary sector. Apart from the introduction of natural gas and RES, the measures concern actions for the improvement of the
thermal behavior of residential sector buildings and promotion of energy efficiency appliances and heating equipment. These actions are supported
significantly by the incorporation in the Greek legislation of the Directive 2002/91/EC by Law 3661/08 "Measures to reduce the energy
consumption of buildings"; the Law 4122/2013 "Energy performance of buildings" (transposition of Directive 2010/31/EE); the Law 3855/2010
"Measures to improve energy efficiency in end-use, energy services and other provisions" (transposition of Directive 2006/32/EC); the adoption
and application of the "Energy Performance of Buildings Regulation" (KENAK); and the transposition to the Greek legislation of European
Directive 27/2012/EU by Law 4342/2015.
GHG emissions from the transport sector present a declining trend mainly due to economic crisis. Nevertheless they are still considerable both in
Greece and in European Union, and, consequently the implementation of suitable policies and restriction measures is required. The main axes of
intervention and implemented policies and measures in the sector, beyond the introduction of biofuels for road
