HAPPEN

The HAPPEN project [Holistic AProach and Platform for the deep renovation of the med residential built ENvironment] aimed to stimulate the market for radical energy renovations of buildings, aiming at the creation of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings [NZEBs]. In this context, it developed a holistic approach and an electronic platform that was adapted to the climatic conditions and specificities of the Mediterranean region. The approach MedZEB -as it was called- and the platform contributed to:

• Connecting the energy renovation market between customers, designers, suppliers and installers,
• Creating an environment of trust for radical energy renovations, and in
• Increase in solutions to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, emphasizing the cost-benefit ratio.

To test the approach in practice, a few buildings were selected from each country participating in the project. One of them was the Strovolos Municipal Hall, where through the MedZEB methodology, appropriate measures were selected for its energy upgrade. The pilot applications in Cyprus also included 3 residential buildings (houses) in the territory of the Strovolos Municipality, the management of which was undertaken by our Office. In this context, the Municipality assumed a supporting role in communication actions towards the citizens and businesses of its territory.

The project was funded by the European Commission, through the Horizon 2020 program. Click here to learn more.
