Summary

The climate crisis and the need for sustainable development have highlighted the importance of energy upgrades and energy savings in the building sector, especially in residential buildings. European and Greek funding and co-financing programs for residential energy upgrades have been designed to address this issue, providing financial incentives and institutional support. However, despite the promotion of these programs, citizen participation and full utilization remain limited due to inadequate information and other barriers for reasons considered in the context of this dissertation.This dissertation focuses on examining the factors influencing the success of energy-saving programs, with a particular emphasis on the social and economic challenges faced by residents in the Attica region. A questionnaire was developed to assess public perceptions of these programs, levels of participation, and the obstacles encountered during implementation.A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed, and data from respondents were analyzed to derive insights regarding awareness, participation intentions, and issues citizens face in the process of upgrading their homes. The results indicate that, despite some progress, there is a need to improve the legislative and financial framework and to enhance public awareness of the benefits of energy upgrading.
