Σύνοψη

Cyprus is a fast expanding and developing country where the building industry had and still has an important role. Nevertheless Cypriot houses suffer from deficiencies due to the lack of proper design. This was the result of the sudden demand of designers and the non offer of them as not many were available those days .
Another factor was that the conventional fuel such as gas and oil were quite cheap and the average people could afford to pay for heating or cooling his house. Nowadays conventional fuel is rather costly and therefore other energy sourses are required which are less costly. Solar energy was the first source people turn to. The
problem is that in order to use solar energy effectively there must be undisturbed solar radiation when heating is required and most important to have a house properly designed so as to make efficient use of this kind of energy. This project deals mostly with the
deficiencies the houses have and suggests measures to overcome them and make a house with thermal performance as good as possible.
