Pedia – Education Pedia - Παιδεία

An innovation project exclusively for schools in Cyprus, this involves a total building upgrade project for quality education and a project for sustainability and the environment in the school environment. The PEDIA project (Promoting Energy efficiency & Developing Innovative Approaches in schools) is the first project to comprehensively deal with the needs of school buildings in Cyprus to transform them into Near Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) while seeking to address chronic and long-standing problems in areas such as heating, air conditioning, lighting and ventilation. The PEDIA project, funded by the EU and coordinated by the Cyprus Energy Office in cooperation with the Environment and Sustainable Development Education Unit of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth, will undertake a wide range of activities aimed at improving the energy efficiency and comfort of at least 25 public school buildings in Cyprus, thus contributing to the achievement of Cyprus’ national and European energy and climate objectives.
