ENERGY UPGRADE

Energy upgrade programmes.

A permanent section, not a page about one programme. Here we keep what applies at any given time, what it means for windows, and what we can deliver — without promises about eligibility or percentages.

Last updated: 11.09.2026

What BS METAL delivers

  • on-site measurement
  • technical proposal
  • aluminium system proposal
  • glazing proposal
  • detailed quotation per opening
  • fabrication and installation
  • product documentation (CE, Declaration of Performance, declared Uw)

What BS METAL does not deliver

The following is not part of a window fabricator’s scope of work. It is handled by engineers: the Energy Inspector (Ενεργειακός Επιθεωρητής) and the programme’s Technical Adviser (Τεχνικός Σύμβουλος).

  • the energy performance certificate (ΠΕΑ), before and after the works
  • checking whether the property is eligible
  • the subsidy percentage that applies
  • submitting and managing the application
  • certifying completion of the works and releasing the funds

Our contribution to the file is technical: the measurement, the system series, the glazing build-up and the declared Uw of the unit — the figure the Energy Inspector enters in the official record of interventions.

What an energy-compliant frame has to satisfy

Whatever the programme, three things are required together — and none of them is enough on its own.

1

Thermally broken profile

The inner and outer aluminium sections are joined through a material of low thermal conductivity.

What a thermal break is
2

Energy glazing

At least double glazing with a Low-E coating, usually with argon and a warm-edge spacer.

Double or triple glazing
3

Documented performance

CE marking and a Declaration of Performance stating the Uw of the actual unit — not the Uf of the series.

Uw, Uf & Ug

The maximum permitted Uw is set by the Greek building energy code per climate zone. Most of Attica falls into zone B; mountainous areas above 500 m fall into a colder zone.
