PAPER
2. Greek pilot actions
The goal of the project’s pilot activities is to indentify and
select appropriate buildings of the Mediterranean territory
in order to increase the energy efficiency and create
sustainable and long‐term financing mechanisms for
MARIE
energy conservation investments in buildings.
The Greek partners selected the following public buildings:
‐ The Hospital of Ptolemaida “Bodosakio”
‐ The Administrative Building of Region of Western
Macedonia in Kozani

2. Greek pilot actions
State of art:
The priliminary energy audits to the 2 selected buildings
and the cost/benefit analysis of possible investment
solutions have been concluded
At the current phase, the partners are at the process of
MARIE
setting up the specifications of the Call for the selection of
an ESCO company.
Next steps:
‐ Energy Auditing‐ Technical Report for the final selection of
EEM‐ Financial Scheme
‐ Supply & Installation of equipment
‐ Evaluation of the results of the pilot actions

AXIS II – a. Biomass office
will develop links with experts in Wood Biomass sectors and establish a comprehensive
information service dedicated to biomass derived heat and energy technologies and supply chains.
AXIS II – b. Web site‐ Tool for biomass use information in local level
AXIS II – c. Best Practices
The Region of West Macedonia will improve the Logistics in co‐firing or pellet factory Cost
relation maps based on GIS

citizens. e.g. the replacement of oil boiler in a hospital or the
biomass solution for heating purposes in a swimming pool of a
public athlete center.

PAPER
3. Reflections on Policy paper/ Strategic lines
Lack of coordination between EU funds and bureaucracy is the most
significant identified barrier that lead to time consuming processes.
The policy paper should take into consideration the Nearly Zero Energy
Buildings and Sustainable building (energy and resources saving) adapted to
the Mediterranean context.
Biomass solutions, addressed by Proforbiomed could be included in the
concept of Nearly Zero Buildings, since Renewable Energies are necessary to
achieve zero energy balance.
Local Authorities do not have the competence to deal with banks, ESCOs

PAPER
3. Reflections on Policy paper/ Strategic lines
The training of the beneficiaries is rather crucial in order to reduce the risk of
the Regions when dealing with private funds.
Local Authorities could play a key role in energy efficiency and could
coordinate the different actors in the region (stakeholders, users, banks,
engineers etc..)
A secure legal and financial environment is necessary, at least for ESCO’s and
for the first stages of development in a new market.
AXIS 2 “Competitiveness, economic activities and employment” was
characterized as the most challenging, since the renewable energy resources
and energy efficiency could lead to new jobs and “green” entrepreneurship
opportunities.
The strategic lines of AXIS 2 is the most difficult to reach through the pilot activities

PAPER
3. Reflections on Policy paper/ Strategic lines
In order to succeed in the set goals the partners should:
– Be consistent in long term
– Train in order to create employment (MARIE project intention, self‐construction is
a concept studied in ELIH‐MED)
– Raise awareness regarding the issues that constitute the objectives of the 3
projects
– Increase the use of biomass in buildings for energy and heating purposes. This is a
big challenge that could have a significant affection to the employment in long
term.
Local government does not have enough power and a strategy should be developed
in order to involve them at a larger extent.
We ask the amount of ERDF fund for Energy efficiency (4% today) to be raised, while
we cannot absorb the existing fund in most cases – need for efficient policies and
programmes

PAPER
3. Reflections on Policy paper/ Strategic lines
The issue of renewable energy should be introduced in the Policy Paper while the
weak point is Capitalization and Dissemination.
It was stressed out that if the projects do not develop tools, and don’t proceed in
construction works, with deliverables that are limited to studies and reports, then
the outputs remain unexploited.
The real construction work undertaken in pilot projects in ELIH‐MED could lead to
significant experience for MED programme, helping to the improvement of next
programming calls.
The projects should considered what actions/ results have added value after the
closure of the projects – more focus on strategic projects and real construction
pilots

PAPER
3. Reflections on Policy paper/ Strategic lines
It was proposed to include a 5th pillar to the 4 existing ones that could be “New
knowledge‐ training ‐ dissemination” since the sharing of knowledge is rather
important and could improve user behaviour. Capitalization plays a significant
role in European projects.
It was suggested that the national partners sign a formal agreement regarding
the recommendations of the Policy Paper in order to validate it and diffuse them
at regional and national level. This issue will be discussed further by the partners.
