The PEDIA (Promoting Energy efficiency & Developing Innovative Approaches in schools) is the first project that comprehensively and comprehensively approaches the needs of school buildings in Cyprus, to transform them into Nearly Zero Energy Buildings. The choice of the 25 participating schools, was carried out after on-site technical visits, based on a multi-criteria analysis, and based on additional information collected, in order to precisely determine the needs and prospects of each school for energy upgrading.
The implementation of the energy upgrades in the 25 schools is taking place in individual phases, which are estimated to last a total of 3-4 years. The process for each energy upgrade includes a detailed assessment of the existing state of the building facilities and the corresponding energy consumption, the preparation of technical specifications for the proposed measures, the announcement of Green Public Contracts and the implementation and monitoring of the works. Through the Cohesion Policy Programme, “THALEIA 2021-2027”, and the project “Creating Zero Energy Schools", the construction part of the project is co-financed, while the part concerning technical support is financed through the European Union's PDA (Project Development Assistance) program of Horizon 2020, and by the PEDIA project.
Below is the list of the 25 schools, by province and stage of energy upgrade. More information about the energy upgrade of each school can be found at the relevant link*.
