“…• the mountainous and insular character of the landscape that make difficult and expensive the energy supply; • the lack of basic energy resources (except lignite); and • the increased energy consumption in the past years mainly from transportation and tertiary domestic sectors (Kalapmalikas and Pilavachi, 2002;MD, 2009;Papadopoulou et al, 2013).…”

“…Though the importance of the energy sector for an economy is well-known, certain problems made Greece a country with high dependence on basic energy resources. Such problems that intensify the energy dependence are: the fact that Greece is far from other EU countries, lacks direct borders; the mountainous and insular character of the landscape that make difficult and expensive the energy supply; the lack of basic energy resources (except lignite); and the increased energy consumption in the past years mainly from transportation and tertiary domestic sectors (Kalapmalikas and Pilavachi, 2002; MD, 2009; Papadopoulou et al , 2013). …”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to reveal the dynamics of the Greek energy sector. As energy sectors contribute substantially to a national economy and stimulate national output and employment, it is important to identify their upward and downward linkages and interrelations with the other sectors of the economy. Design/methodology/approach -To do this and capture such relations in the economy, a general equilibrium model is used. In specific, input-output (I-O) analysis is used and a model is specifically built for the Greek economy to examine in detail the energy sectors. Multiplier and linkage analysis is performed to assess their dynamics in terms of output, household income and employment. Findings -Results indicate that the three energy sectors' multipliers and elasticities, though are not ranking in the first places, are enough high indicating their strong linkages in the economy and their potentials to enhance the economy's total output, employment and household income. Research limitations/implications -Further disaggregation of the economy's energy sectors is needed to make clearer the separation among renewable and non-renewable sector, to identify and compare the dynamics and contribution of each category in the economy. Additionally, an environmental I-O model would indicate consequences on the environment and not just pure economic benefits. Practical implications -Through the analysis, it can be seen that energy sectors and secondary energy products have the ability to drive a country's economic activity through exports and intersectoral linkages, even if it is not a crude petroleum producing economy. Thus, knowledge of the economic impacts of such sectors is a valuable information. Originality/value -The current study provides significant information of an economy's energy sectors regarding their ability to support economic activity and employment. A general equilibrium model is used, examining the whole economy, to assess direct and indirect interrelationships. IJESM 9,3 others, at Richardson (1972) and Miller and Blair (2009). 5. The mathematical notation and basic equations of the model are presented in the appendix.6. For a terminology of I-O multipliers, see Miller and Blair (2009).

“…The objective of the proposed methodology is mainly to ensure capacity building and Relevant national and regional stakeholder engaged in the energy efficiency financing procedure have varying levels of knowledge, skills, and capacity for energy efficiency financing planning and implementation (Karakosta, 2016). As such, it is important to meet diverse needs of different case studies, learn from each other and to strengthen collaboration and engagement among all the involved parties (Karakosta & Flamos, 2016;Karakosta et al, 2018;Papadopoulou et al, 2011;Papadopoulou et al, 2013). Beyond benchmarking the performances and sharing of best practices, this engagement will enable national stakeholders to take possible advantages of synergies and economies on scale, especially through bundling or aggregating projects to increase bankability of projects and develop business cases.…”

“…The need for implementing a solution that increases energy efficiency is necessary as argued by Papadopoulou, et al (2013) and RapidTable (2018). Thus, it is of significant importance to calculate the energy efficiency of buildings, whereby the energy efficiency could be calculated by dividing the energy consumed over the energy produced as shown in equation 1 (a) & (b) below:…”

Sustainability has gained popularity and importance around the globe due to the ever-increasing effects of climate change and global warming on Earth. As of the 21st century, human endeavour has caused an enormous amount of damage to the environmental ecological system. Among which, one of the major contributors to the increase in the environmental issues and CO2 emissions are the conventional sources of energy, especially in the built environment. Globally, the built environment accounts for 12 percent of the world’s drinkable water, 40 percent of energy wastage and 35 percent of scarce natural resources, which in turn produces 40 percent of the total global carbon emission. Among which are educational buildings which tend to be a major contributor (as most of these facilities are old and conventionally built in the mid-1900s) Thus, with the education sector being an essential part of society, it becomes important to determine the energy performance and carbon footprint of these buildings. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) vision 2021 highlights the country's approach to the importance of providing the best education and adopting sustainable environmental infrastructure. Therefore, this study adopts a methodological approach based on semi-structured interviews and surveys, in order to compare the energy performance of three educational buildings within Higher Education establishments in the UAE as a case study. The study also evaluates the end user’s awareness of the importance of sustainable practices in the buildings and their preference for these buildings. The findings of this study conclude that Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) are the most efficient buildings in terms of energy performance, carbon consumption and heat generated. Therefore, it is important that the integration of these types of buildings is considered in educational establishments.
