Smart buildings in Cyprus: A new era
– The Ministry of Energy, Commerce, and Industry informed the Directorate-General for Energy of the European Commission about its plan to explore the Smart Readiness Indicator system in Cyprus.
– The Smart Readiness Indicator is a system for assessing building intelligence, created by the European Commission in 2018 through the European directive on the energy performance of buildings.
– Cyprus is the ninth EU country to consider adopting this system, planning to conduct a study on its implementation.
– The study will be conducted by the Energy Office of Cyprus, the Sustainable Energy Research Group of Frederick University, and the technology companies Euphyia Tech Ltd and CyRIC Ltd.
– The study, lasting nine months, aims to determine the levels of building intelligence in Cyprus and propose a categorization into intelligence indicators based on their automation and control systems.
– This initiative is aimed at promoting smart buildings and cities in Cyprus, contributing to a sustainable and energy-efficient built environment.
