Summary

Aim of this study is to search and record the level of knowledge concerning the Energy Performancein Buildings (Directive 2002/91/E.U.) among teachers and school directors in the region of Chania,Crete, Greece. Moreover the school buildings’ constructional characteristics, their energyperformance and the perception of indoor comfort are assessed. The study was conducted during thesecond semester of 2009. A suitably designed questionnaire was sent to and completed by the schooldirectors and teachers, of more than 20 schools in Chania. Data were analyzed with PASW statistics(formerly SPSS statistics), using descriptive statistics, correlation and independence testing. Theresults were organized in four sections. The first section refers to information about the school units(building characteristics, type of heating, cooling and lighting system, energy consumption etc.). Thesecond section deals with the perception of indoor comfort (thermal, visual comfort and indoor airquality), and examines possible connections with school’s operational characteristics. The thirdsection records the level of knowledge concerning the Energy Performance in Buildings (Directive2002/91/E.U.). The forth section gives their suggestions and proposals for a more efficient energyperformance of the buildings. The results show the low level of knowledge concerning the necessityfor energy efficiency
