Abstract
Passive House Latsia is the first apartment building in Cyprus to be designed according to the Passive House Standard and is set to be certified by both the Hellenic Passive House Institute and the German Passive House Institute [1]. The building comprises 30 apartments with a total area of 2,800 m² and is part of the government’s“Ktizo”initiative for social and affordable housing aimed at young families. Currently under construction, the project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025. It serves as a prime example that high thermal comfort and ultralow energy demand can be achieved in cost-effective housing. With just a 40 kW photovoltaic system, the building will be energy-neutral—generating as much electricity as it consumes.
