Main research fields :
Sweden
Targets
- 2006 June – The Swedish Parliament’s decision
– The use of energy in dwellings and premises shall be reduced by 20% to the year 2020 – By 50% in year 2050
- 2009 – Energy declarations of buildings
Energy efficient buildings - strategy
- Minimize energy losses
- Maximize the share of renewable energy
Solar heating
- Exemple – Eksta bostads AB, Kungsbacka
- 1300 dwellings
– 60% biomass, 30% solar heat (7000 m2 solar collectors)
Solar heat – solar collectors
Solar heat 400‐650 kWh/m2, year
Irradiation at 40 degree tilt towards south in the south of Sweden: 1150 kWh/m2, year

ENERGY MANAGEMENT LABORATORY
Solar and Wind Energy in Greece
- Demonstration projects
- Low interest loans and tax credits
- WIND : 2% of revenues go to the local communities
- SOLAR THERMAL
- > 3.000.000 square metres
- > 25% penetration level (small)
- 35% of Solar Systems are exported
- Collector : Area 2,4 square metres / Storage 150 Lt / Cost : 1000 EU
- Solar energy utilised: 600 kWh/m2 yr
payback period: 4‐6 years Standards and codes of practice
