  2. Cyprus Energy Consumption by sector - 2010 Buildings 29%

  3. The Law that Regulates the Energy Performance of Buildings • The Law for the Regulation of the Energy Performance of Buildings 2006, L.142(I)/2006, is the legal document on which the transposition of EPBD in Cyprus is based on. • The inspection and maintenance of boilers, central heating systems and air-conditioning systems are included in the above law.

  4. Implementation of the EPBD in Cyprus • The implementation of EPBD started in 2007 with setting minimum requirements for the building envelope. • It has been fully implemented in 2009 with • the launching of the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and • the Inspection of Boilers and Air Conditioning systems. • The implementation of the EPBD in Cyprus is the responsibility of the Energy Service of the Ministry of Commerce Industry and Tourism

  5. Certification • The implementation of the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) took place in two phases: • 1st phase: Certification of all residential buildings, new and existing, which started 1st October 2009 as optional; it became mandatory by 1st January 2010. • 2nd phase: Certification of new and existing non residential buildings (commercial, education, office, and all other); it became mandatory on 1st September 2010.

  6. Guide Books

  7. Main Provisions of Directive 2002/91/EC • Minimum energy performance requirements for new buildings and buildings above 1000 m2 that undergo major renovation • Methodology for the calculation of energy performance of buildings • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for new buildings and buildings that are sold or rented • Inspection of air-conditioning systems and boilers

  8. Inspections Status of implementation • The inspections of air conditioning (AC) systems started on 1st October 2010. • The Ministerial order for the inspection of AC systems makes the inspection larger than 12 kW mandatory, and the inspection of air conditioning systems that, adding together their nominal power in the same building, exceed 50 kW.

  9. Methodology of Inspection of Air Conditioning systems The Guide for the Inspection of Air Conditioning systems The methodology is based on EN 15240:2007 and is described in the “Guide for the Inspection of Air Conditioning systems”

  10. Frequency of Inspections for A/C systems * *The sum of all units is bigger than 50 kW

  11. Inspection of Boilers • The methodology for the inspection of boilers is described in the “Guide for the Inspection of Central Heating Systems with Boilers”. • The inspections aim to reduce energy consumption and limit carbon dioxide emissions

  12. Sizes of Boilers to be inspected • Central Heating systems equipped with Boilers of nominal power greater than 100 kW • Central Heating systems equipped with LPG Boilers of nominal power greater than 100 kW • Sizes smaller than 100 kW are inspected by the Energy Service, free of charge.

  13. Inspection Sheets • The inspector conducts visual inspection, measurements and calculations including: • Combustion efficiency • Heat losses through the chimney • The inspection results and comments are transferred to the appropriate inspection sheets which are submitted to the owner.

  14. Who qualify for Inspections? • Qualified Mechanical Engineers, registered in the Scientific and Technical Chamber of Cyprus, or other member state, and • Holders of Certificate of Competency issued by the responsible authority. • Transition period: 2 years after the ministerial decision, up to April 2013. Any qualified mechanical engineer is entitled to perform inspections.

  15. Duties and Responsibilities of Inspectors According to the relevant law: • Perform inspections of air conditioning systems and boilers. • Fill in the relevant forms. • Issue a certificate of inspection to the owner. • At the beginning of each year, submit a list of all the inspections that he/she has performed the previous year, to the relevant authority (Energy Service)

  16. In conclusion • A lot of work has been done on the inspection of air conditioning systems and boilers, including: • Legislation • Training and awareness campaign • Preparation of relevant documents and Guide booklets • There is a lot to be done until the directive is to be fully implemented.
