Navigating EU Directive for Energy-Efficient Buildings in Cyprus

The European Commission's recent directive targets a significant reduction in emissions and energy consumption in buildings, accounting for around 40% of the EU's energy use. With Cyprus among the member states tasked with implementing these changes, the journey toward energy-efficient buildings is both challenging and rewarding. Tsitsios & Associates LLC is at the forefront of guiding property owners through this transformative landscape.

What are the Key Requirements of the Directive?


  • Residential buildings are to reduce primary energy use by 16% by 2030.

  • Non-residential buildings, specifically the worst-performing 16%, must undergo renovations to meet the same target by 2030.

  • All new buildings are mandated to have zero on-site emissions from fossil fuels by 2030.

These ambitious goals set forth by the European Commission are essential steps towards sustainability and energy efficiency. They reflect a broader commitment to combat climate change and promote a greener future.
