Έπειτα από τη Συνδιάσκεψη του Κιότο, τα 28 κράτη – μέλη της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, ανάμεσα σ' αυτά και η Ελλάδα, εφαρμόζουν μια σειρά από μέτρα πολιτικής για να καταπολεμήσουν την κλιματική αλλαγή και να μειώσουν τις εκπομπές των αερίων του θερμοκηπίου. Για να τα καταφέρουν αυτά, οι ευρωπαϊκές χώρες πρέπει να μειώσουν την κατανάλωση της ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας και να κάνουν τα κτίριά τους περισσότερο ενεργειακά αποδοτικά. Ο στόχος αυτής της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι να διερευνήσει ποιοι είναι οι κύριοι παράγοντες που σχετίζονται με την κατανάλωση ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας στον οικιακό τομέα. Έτσι, οι υπεύθυνοι θα μπορούν να χαράξουν πολιτικές οι οποίες να συμβάλλουν στη βελτίωση της ενεργειακής αποδοτικότητας και τη μείωση των εκπομπών των αερίων του θερμοκηπίου στα πλαίσια της βιοοικονομίας. Για τον σκοπό αυτό διεξήχθη μια βιβλιογραφική και εμπειρική ανάλυση όσον αφορά την κατανάλωση της ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας στον οικιακό τομέα στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση. Στη συνέχεια, παρουσιάζονται τα αποτελέσματα αυτής της διερεύνησης και προτείνονται μέτρα πολιτικής, ως συνεισφορά στο διάλογο σχετικά με τη ζήτηση της ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας, την ενεργειακή αποδοτικότητα και την κλιματική αλλαγή. ; Following the Kyoto Protocol, the 28 countries that are part of the European Union, among them Greece, are implementing a wide range of policy measures to tackle climate change and limit their greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve these, European countries must decrease their electricity consumption and make their buildings more energy-efficient. This thesis aims to investigate which factors affect residential electricity consumption and in which way. This could enable policymakers to design policy measures in a more energy-efficient and less carbon-intensive way in the bioeconomy framework. To find this out, a theoretical and empirical analysis of residential electricity demand in the EU has been carried out. Subsequently, the conclusions of this investigation are presented, and policy measures are suggested, to contribute to the overall discussion about electricity demand, energy efficiency, and climate change.

We are moving through the era of technological innovation, artificial intelligence, Industry 4.0, as it is called. The integration of smart technology into all sectors of society is a reality and a mean to facilitate and simplify everyday life. In this information technology industry, the development of new technology achievements influences and inspires the business world, serves and contributes to the progress of society. This rapidly evolving technological advancement needs a legal framework in order to obtain social and commercial status. Patent Law is the legal science and patent is the legal tool that adds value to intangible assets and therefore technology scientists are motivated to ensure their invention with a patent and also dominant technology enterprises are competing for the development of a strong patent portfolio. This doctoral thesis deals with the legal frame that Patent Law provides for an inventor to grant a European patent or an international one. In addition, for the first time in Greece, combining the fields of Intellectual Property Law and technological innovation, in this thesis, a survey is conducted using a questionnaire that was distributed in 2019, to graduated students of technology institutes in Greece. The purpose of the survey is to clarify the knowhow of students as for the legal aspects of technology. Regarding the results of the survey, it is vital to apply measures in education, for the next generation technical inventors to have the knowhow of utilizing their intellectual asset in their own free will. Further, this thesis introduces and presents smart technology and its application in society, by directly exploiting the Internet of Energy (IoE) and the Internet of Things technology (IoT) into distributed energy systems, with the aim to achieve energy efficiency, to avoid energy wasting, and improve environmental conditions. In addition, this thesis refers to European's Union legislation for the gradually transformation of the building potential of all European Member States ...
