The thesis revolves around the matter of energy refurbishment of existing buildings, in the face of significant environmental, economic and social benefits, which have been well documented by numerous studies. In particular, it investigates the most “suitable” strategy towards the improvement of the energy performance of a respected part of the social housing stock in Greece, which due to high levels of stan‐dardization, shares common characteristics. The chosen methodology is a typical energy audit, which complies with the provisions of the national regulatory framework, and includes two energy renovation scenarios. The object of the audit is a representative building that belongs to the work‐ing class complex of O.E.K., located in Ampelokipoi, Thessaloniki and dating back to 1963. The results of the audit confirmed the lack of efficiency of such buildings. The suggested interventions showed the huge potential that these buildings hold for ener‐gy conservation, with a consequent positive effect on their operational cost. Moreover, the different energy saving scenarios that were investigated, clearly demonstrate one thing. The road to increased environmental, financial and social ben‐efits, passes through an energy renovation planning that is collective in its approach, and also integrates innovative technologies as well as renewable energy sources. Above all, it presupposes a shift in attitude and mentality on behalf of all actors; the authorities, the specialized workforce and of course the public. (EN)
