Prioritising energy investments in new dwellings constructed in Cyprus

Abstract

Energy use in the domestic sector of Cyprus accounts for 35% of the total energy consumption. This needs to be reduced in future to meet climate change impact and fossil fuel imports. This study investigates the impact of a series of passive measures on energy consumption, namely insulation, glazing, thermal mass and orientation and prioritises their energy savings. The impact on heating and cooling energy of a range of measures is tested using a thermal simulation program (TAS), which predicts the energy consumption of two base-case dwellings, an apartment and a detached dwelling. Cost-effective prioritisation is determined from the energy savings and cost of each measure and its cost.
