The proposal (combination of interventions) for energy upgrade, submitted with the application, should cover the minimum energy target of the application, as follows:
For all types of application (individual apartments, detached houses, apartment buildings), mandatory upgrade by at least three (3) energy categories, in relation to the classification in the A 'PEA, in order to ensure Primary Energy Saving of more than 30%.
Every structural element that is part of the shell, as well as every technical system, when installed afterwards or replaced, must meet the minimum energy efficiency requirements of K.E.N.A.K. to the extent that this is technically, functionally and economically feasible. In addition, if the implemented project concerns a radical renovation of the building / building unit, within the meaning of the provisions of par. 12 of article 2 of law 4122/2013, all the technical systems and structural elements of the shell must be meet the minimum energy efficiency requirements for existing buildings and to achieve the classification of the building / building unit in the energy category B, according to par. 5 of art. 7 of the "Energy Efficiency Regulation of Buildings" (K.E.N.A.K. to the extent that this is technically and functionally feasible. In case the achievement of category B is not technically and operationally feasible, the renovated building / building unit should be classified in the energy category resulting from the Energy Efficiency Study.
It is pointed out that in addition to the minimum energy efficiency requirements of K.E.N.A.K, the additional requirements of the program related to interventions must be met (eg energy glass, obligation to install a solar hot water supply system), such as these described in the "Tasks" subsection.
In order to check the above requirements, the materials and systems that will be used for the interventions must be certified for their energy characteristics. Specifically for the systems of category 3 (except subcategories 3.A, 3.H), category 4 and subcategory 1.G of tables 3.2.1 and 4.1.1 in the subsection "Tasks", a product form is presented, as defined in Directive 2010/30 / EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union on Energy Labeling. In addition, the materials and electromechanical systems, for which there is a relevant obligation under the current legislation, must be CE marked.
It is pointed out that the manager (contractor or developer) of the waste from excavations, constructions and demolition (A.E.K.K.), according to the provisions of the JMC no. 36259/1757 / Ε103 / 2010 (ΒΔ1312Β), is obliged for the alternative management of this waste, in particular with the preparation for the reuse and the recycling.
The interventions, submitted with the application for inclusion in the Program, arise based on the recommendations of the Energy Inspector and relate exclusively to the following categories of eligible interventions.
It is pointed out that during the completion of the project and based on the 2nd PEA, achievement controls will be carried out both for the minimum energy target and for the energy savings.
The interventions that may be eligible by type of residence-application are listed in table 3.2.1. They include interventions in frames / shading / ventilation systems, thermal insulation, cooling heating systems, domestic hot water systems, energy management devices (smart home) and lighting upgrade.

The Beneficiaries of categories 1 to 5 of Table 2.1.1 of the section "Description" sub-section "Eligibility" paragraph "Beneficiaries - Applications - Income Categories - Grant", are entitled to the corresponding grant according to table 2.2.2 of the same paragraph and undertake the payment of the remaining amount (private participation) of choice.
A) with Equity,
B) with a loan agreement, either for the amount they will choose or for the amount that will be approved by the financial institution,
or a combination of the above.
Exclusively for the Beneficiaries of the income category 1, in case of concluding a loan agreement, the possibility of guaranteeing the State for securing the loan to the financial institutions is provided. The guarantee will cover the amount at 100% of the loan based on the percentage corresponding to the Beneficiary from the total eligible budget.
The terms of the loan are defined in detail in the Operational Agreement between the Financial Management Body of the Program (Hellenic Development Bank SA) and the Financial Institutions (for which, among other things, the possibility of the State guarantee will be taken into account), as well as and in the loan agreement between the Organization and the Beneficiary.
In addition, the terms of the loan agreement are as follows:
The interest rate of the loan agreement, for the needs of the Program is fixed, amounts to 6.5% and is subsidized at a rate of 100% for all income categories. The contribution of L.128 / 22-28.8.1975 (Government Gazette A '178), which amounts to 0.12%, is charged to the Beneficiary. The financial institution does not burden the interested parties with the cost of managing a loan file. The cost of file management, for the applications that will be subject to the program, is covered by the resources of the Program.
The Financial Management Body of the Program pays the interest to the financial institution after the payment of the respective capital installment by the Beneficiary. In case of inability to pay a capital installment by the Beneficiary, the loan interest subsidy will be automatically terminated in case of late payment of 3 installments (3 months or more from the date of the first delay). In case of termination of the subsidy, there is no possibility of revocation and the loan is repaid with interest until its expiration, with the above fixed interest rate.
In case, during the implementation or even after the completion of the project, the loan agreement is terminated by the financial institution, the Financial Management Body no longer pays the interest to the financial institution, which now weighs on the Beneficiary.
The interest rate subsidy is eligible for the entire duration of the loan and the relevant amount, relating to the interest rate subsidy, for the entire period of implementation of the Program is transferred to a blocked guarantee account held in the name of Hellenic Development Bank SA.
It is not eligible and bears the beneficiary the cost of commissioning a money transfer order for the payment of contractors / suppliers, etc., made under the Program, in case the financial institution, with which the supplier cooperates, is different from this which the Beneficiary has chosen to cooperate with.
