The Presidential Palace is included among the emblematic buildings that will receive an energy upgrade under the "ANABATHIMIZO" Act.
The Act "ANABATHIMIZO" is implemented through the European Territorial Cooperation Programme, Interreg V-A Greece-Cyprus 2014-2020 under the fourth call for proposals of strategic character in the specific objective 2.1 "Increasing energy savings in public buildings". The total budget of the project is EUR 2.196.629,50, co-financed by the European Union (E.T.P.A.) and national resources of Greece and Cyprus and the duration of the project is 24 months.
The aim of the project is the development of optimal energy upgrade techniques which, when applied, transform existing historic buildings into standard buildings of high energy efficiency.
The project includes the energy upgrade of two iconic buildings in the target area, the Presidential Palace of the Republic of Cyprus and Loggia, which houses the Town Hall of Heraklion, Crete.
Upon completion of the project, the two selected buildings, in addition to their historical importance, will also be model examples of good practice in the energy upgrading of historic buildings.
