GR Greece - Residential Building Typology
Building Type Matrix
classification scheme for residential buildings --- construction year classes --- pictures of example buildings
Generic Building Types
The climatic zones are defined on the basis of the Heating Degree Days in accordance to the national regulation for the Energy Performance of the Building Sector (KENAK):
Zone A (601–1100 HDD)
Zone B (1101–1600 HDD)
Zone C (1601–2200 HDD)
Zone D (2201–2620 HDD)

National Typology Brochure
