"Energy Performance & Certification of Buildings" conference

The Cyprus Energy Office invites all members of the Engineering disciplines to participate in the Workshop on "Energy Performance & Certification of Buildings", which it is organizing on Wednesday, November 29, from 15:30 to 19:00, at Training and Certification Center – “The Builder”.

The Conference is organized within the framework of the projects UPGREAT (Upskilling Professionals for deep energy efficiency REnovations: A Tool for better schools) and TIMEPAC (Towards Innovative Methods for Energy Performance Assessment and Certification of Buildings), in which the Cyprus Energy Office participates respectively as a national representative and partner, and is supported by the Cyprus University of Technology, our partner in the TIMEPAC project.

The aim of the Conference is to inform the participants regarding the requirements of the Energy Performance of Buildings in Cyprus and the methods of Energy Upgrade and integration of Renewable Energy Sources in Buildings, as well as to develop a dialogue around the Energy Certification of Buildings (PEA) and the optimization of said procedure.
