Summary

Greece is a country rich in renewable energy sources (RES). A consequence of this is that the country performs well in the field of renewable energy applications. The share of renewable energies in the national production of primary energy is over 20 %. The bulk of the energy generated by the country’s RES is consumed in the building sector and covers mainly heating and hot water production needs. The forms of renewable energy that are found in applications in Greek buildings include solar, wind, geothermal and biomass energy. The quantity of energy that these energy sources represent increased by more than 70 % during the last decade for which statistics are available (2002–2012). This work presents and attempts to interpret the data for the development of renewable energy applications in buildings in Greece during this decade.
