This study examines the particular characteristics that define the energy and environmentalbehavior of urban residential and commercial buildings in Greece, where both theclimate and other factors that shape these characteristics are specific and well defined. Based onthe available statistical data, the study evaluates the energy behavior of corresponding buildingsand compares them with similar data of other countries, where prevail different climatic conditions.From this comparison, indications are obtained, and reflect the exploitation of the availableenergy potential in the country. Furthermore, this study examines the basic methods andpractices, which are applied in the design and construction of urban buildings in Greece andcontribute to their energy and environmental behavior.
