The document discusses an upcoming energy efficiency conference in 2019. It emphasizes that climate change is a serious problem and that time is running out to address it. The conference will focus on why improving energy efficiency in buildings is critical to addressing climate change.
The document discusses investing in energy efficiency in buildings. It references passive buildings that require little energy for heating and cooling. It notes Member States are required to establish long-term strategies to renovate national building stocks into highly energy efficient and nearly zero-energy buildings by 2050. This includes cost-effective approaches to renovation, policies to stimulate deep renovation, targeting the worst performing buildings, and initiatives to promote smart and connected buildings. The document promotes the benefits of passive house standards and thanks attendees.
Can a single mini-split unit heat and cool a 100m2 residence in Athens , Greece?Stefan Pallantzas

This document discusses using a single 2kW mini-split heat pump to heat and cool a 100m2 passive house in Greece. It presents heating and cooling performance data from a case study home in 2016-2018, finding that the mini-split was able to maintain indoor temperatures within comfort levels. While a 2kW mini-split can cover the needs of small homes up to 100m2, larger homes would require multiple units or larger capacity heat pumps. The mild climate, thermal mass, efficient distribution, and passive house design all help mini-splits effectively serve passive homes of around 100m2 or less.

The document contains information about passive house standards including an address and contact information for the organization EIPAK located in Papagou, Athens, Greece. It also announces a BuildingGreenEXPO 2017 workshop on passive house standards and mentions that passive house is nearly zero energy building, global, reliable, provides comfort, is based on physics, is sustainable, and is better.
This document summarizes a presentation on retrofitting a building in Greece to passive house standards. It describes insulating the walls, roof, floors, and installing highly insulated windows. Monitoring results found the building's heating needs were significantly lower than predicted. Lessons learned included the importance of airtightness, insulation, and giving building users energy usage data. The retrofit cost was recouped within 10 years due to large energy savings. The project had social impacts by educating over 300 visitors and training 55 people in passive house standards.
