- Abstract
The building sector in Europe is responsible for an estimated 40% of the total energy consumption. This paper focuses on the existing terrace housing in Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The collection of statistical data and the building typologies were developed based on a harmonised structure for European building typologies according to the IEE EPISCOPE project. A representative terrace-housing complex was used as a showcase for demonstrating the energy performance and the potential of energy savings, by applying energy conservation measures. This research aims at filling in the current knowledge gap. It also portrays that building typologies can be a useful instrument to facilitate the energy performance assessment of the building stock.
