Abstract

The current paper presents an overview of the Greek legislation which is directly or indirectly related to ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. The legislative acts which concern, among others,geothermal potential, shallow geothermal energy, installation of heating/cooling systems and domestic hot water production, use of surface water or groundwater, heat pumps, development of renewable energy sources (RES), energy related products and energy efficiency of buildings are outlined in this study. Furthermore, the relevant European directives and decisions with which the Greek legislation has been harmonized are presented.

The Greek legislative framework for the development of GSHPs has been improved over time mainly due to the relevant European directives and decisions; however further improvements and developments are required. Therefore, changes regarding the legislative framework involving the licensing process for the installation of GSHP systems are recommended, concerning: a) system definition, b) installation specifications, c) clarification of responsibilities of involved departments, d) technical issues and e) simplification of the process.

希腊地源热泵(GSHPs)立法框架的回顾及其改进建议

本文介绍了希腊立法的概况，这是直接或间接地与地源热泵(GSHP)系统相关。本研究概述了涉及地热能潜力、浅层地热能、供暖/制冷系统的安装和家庭热水生产、地表水或地下水的使用、热泵、可再生能源的发展、能源相关产品和建筑物能源效率等方面的立法行为。此外，还介绍了与希腊立法相协调的有关欧洲指令和决定。随着时间的推移，主要由于相关的欧洲指令和决定，希腊发展地源热泵的立法框架得到了改善;然而，需要进一步的改进和发展。因此，建议对涉及安装地源热泵系统许可程序的立法框架进行修改，涉及:a)系统定义，b)安装规范，c)澄清相关部门的责任，d)技术问题和e)简化过程。
