Energy certificates

As of 2004, all (new and existing) public buildings are required to have an energy certificate, i.e. an energy identity card, stating the energy performance of the building based on an energy audit. A proposal for the methodology and procedures for energy certificates has been prepared under the EU SAVE II Programme but the final details still have to be issued by the Ministry of Environment, Physical Planning, and Public Works. The certificate system will be launched together with an introduction of the new building energy code, Energeiako Pistopoiitiko.
