The consortium of the EU-funded LIFE project EcoSMEnergy in Cyprus -including the Cyprus Energy Agency- invites you to participate in a free two-day workshop on Energy Efficiency Management for SMEs.
The workshop will take place on 11 and 16 June 2026, as follows:
- Thursday, June 11 (In person): CCCI (2nd Floor), 38 Griva Digeni Avenue, 1080 Nicosia, Time: 10:00 – 16:00
- Tuesday, June 16 (Online): Time: 9:00 – 15:00
FRAMEWORK
2026 is pivotal for businesses in Cyprus, as the new Energy Efficiency Law of 2025, which reinforces compliance requirements, but also opportunities for cost savings, comes fully into force. Energy efficiency is no longer just an environmental choice — it is a business necessity that directly impacts:
- the reduction of operating costs
- the business competitiveness
- the compliance with the new regulatory framework
- the overall sustainability strategy of the business
The workshop has been designed to help businesses transform these new requirements into practical solutions, providing them with tools and expertise they can immediately apply to their daily operations.
WHO IS ADDRESSED TO
The workshop is primarily aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of the following industrial sectors (according to the corresponding NACE codes). However, the content of the workshop is practically applicable and useful for businesses from all sectors of the economy who wish to reduce their energy consumption and improve their operational efficiency.
- C20 Manufacture of chemical substances and products
- C21 Manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations
- C22 Manufacture of rubber and plastic products
- C25 Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment
- C26 Manufacture of computers, electronic, and optical products
- C27 Manufacture of electrical equipment
- C28 Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c.
- C29 Manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers
WHAT YOU WILL GAIN
Through practical examples and guidance from experts, participants will gain knowledge they can directly apply to their businesses. More specifically, they will acquire practical knowledge and tools on:
- Establishing an energy management framework
- Setting energy performance targets
- Conducting energy audits
- Collecting and analyzing energy data
- Implementing energy-saving measures
- Monitoring performance and continuous improvement
In other words, they will acquire practical skills to meet the requirements of the new legislation and utilize energy management as a tool to reduce operational costs and enhance their business competitiveness.
CONTENT
| Module 1: Establish the Energy Management Framework | This module introduces SMEs to the basics of structured energy management, highlighting why energy efficiency matters and how it delivers benefits beyond cost savings, such as productivity, quality, and health and safety. Participants learn to assess their current energy performance, identify key processes and roles, and understand their organisation’s energy maturity. The module also introduces energy policies, documentation, and SMART targets, enabling participants to define clear first steps towards an effective energy management framework. |
| Module 2: Energy Audits, Data Collection and Setting Energy Performance Targets | This module develops practical skills in analyzing energy use and converting data into measurable energy performance targets. Participants learn how to define baselines, calculate energy performance indicators (EnPIs), apply data normalisation, and understand the value of energy audits. Using real world examples and hands on platform work, the module enables participants to set realistic, data driven and SMART energy efficiency targets. |
| Module 3: Implementation of Energy Saving Measures | Focusing on energy saving actions, this module guides participants in identifying, evaluating, and prioritising energy saving measures, from low cost to investment intensive solutions. It covers where inefficiencies occur, how to assess economic and non energy benefits, and how to compare solutions using life cycle criteria. Through practical use of the IMPAWATT platform, participants gain the skills needed to move from analysis to effective implementation. |
| Module 4: Energy Management – Monitoring and Continuous Improvement | This module focuses on embedding energy efficiency into daily operations through systematic monitoring and continuous improvement. Participants learn when and how to implement an energy management system (EnMS), apply the PDCA cycle, and assess organisational maturity. The module strengthens skills in monitoring, reviews, audits, and employee engagement, enabling organisations to sustain energy performance improvements over time. |
