construction of an apartment building with a basement, part of the basement area, such as
this will be indicated by Mass Defense, will be categorized as
shelter for use in an emergency. In said space will
provision must be made for water supply, as well as suitable space

The above arrangement may cover part of the underground spaces
parking of existing approved developments. In case the
placement of a sanitary area in an existing underground parking area
approved development is objectively impossible, the requirement for the

In these cases, beyond sub-paragraphs 2.2.1(or) and 2.2.1(l), with
based on which the area of ​​the basement area concerned in spaces
sanitation and shelter, is not calculated in the building factor,
additionally:

• Incentive to increase the allowable rate will be granted

The modification has been published (modernization) των Κανονισμών για τις ηλεκτρομηχανολογικές εγκαταστάσεις στις οικοδομές.
12 Μαρτίου 2026
At 11.03.2026 the KDP Regulations were published in the official gazette of the Republic 129 of 2026 which amend and essentially modernize the Regulations on Roads and Buildings (Mechanical and Electrical Installations) Regulations. The modernization of the Regulations was a constant request of ETEK, εδώ και αρκετά χρόνια.
In summary with the amendment of the Regulations :
(a) the submission of a mechanical installation study for heating and cooling systems is defined as mandatory, without exceptions
(b) mandatory supervision of electromechanical installations is established
(c) the possibility of submitting an electromechanical study is linked to the obligation to register in the register of designers and supervising engineers of ETEK, when this is activated
The preparation of a mechanical study is mandatory for all developments:
More detailed, with the modernization of the Regulations, the submission of an application for a building permit for new developments will require the submission of a mechanical installation study for the heating and cooling system, without the exceptions included in its regulations 2006. also, following a request from the Ministry of Energy, in the context of improving the energy efficiency of buildings, the submission of a mechanical installation study will be required for hot water production systems for domestic use as well as for other specialized technical systems, εάν υπάρχουν.
Supervision of electromechanical installations:
With the new Regulations it is also determined that the mechanical and electrical installations of a building will be supervised by the mechanical engineer or electrical engineer who prepared the relevant study, thereby guaranteeing the statutory supervision of electromechanical installations. In particular, the new Regulations provide that the owner designates the designer of the electrical or mechanical installation to supervise the implementation of his design and, in case a replacement is required, the owner must appoint a replacement of the same profession. In this context, it is determined that upon completion of the works, a certificate must be submitted that the mechanical or electrical installation has been implemented in accordance with the study and the conditions of the building permit or, in the event that changes or additions have been made to the facility in relation to the study and the conditions of the building permit, ότι αυτές έγιναν με έγκριση του προσώπου που επέβλεπε.
In this way, a distortion that has existed for many years in the construction industry is corrected and another step is taken towards
– improvement of building control and safety of electromechanical installations,
– upgrading the professionalism of scholars and
– protection of the citizen and recipient of the services
2
Activation of the Register of Researchers for both Electrical and Mechanical engineers:
End, with the amendment of the Regulation, it is determined that the electrical and mechanical engineers who submit studies under the regulation of roads and buildings must be registered in the Register of Surveyors and Supervising Engineers of the ETEK, when this is activated. It is noted that the institutional framework for the Register of Scholars defined criteria and requirements for initial registration in the register (B.C. maintaining appropriate professional liability insurance, initial training in matters related to research services, targeting and improving coc practice) που δημιουργούν τις προϋποθέσεις για αναβάθμιση του ρόλου των μελετητών.
The publication of the aforementioned Regulations is a very important event for ETEK, professional researchers and for the construction industry more broadly. To get to today's historic moment required patient and methodical effort, the investment of many man-hours and the assistance of many colleagues, η οποία κορυφώθηκε μετά την ολοκλήρωση του νομοτεχνικού ελέγχου των Κανονισμών περί τα τέλη του 2025.
Significant contribution to the consideration of the Regulations during the current parliamentary term and to the productive debate and further improvements made to the Regulations, had the President of the competent Parliamentary Committee Aristos Damianou and the members of the Parliamentary Committee on the Interior, whom ETEK also publicly thanks. Thanks are certainly due, among others, at the Ministry of the Interior, στο Τμήμα Ηλεκτρομηχανολογικών Υπηρεσίων και σε όλους τους συνάδελφους οι οποίοι συνέδραμαν για την επιτυχή αυτή κατάληξη.

PERMANENT LIST OF CLARIFICATIONS CONCERNING ITS PROVISIONS
APPENDIX III
Διευκρίνιση με αριθμό 2
This Clarification concerns the interpretation of the paragraphs 4.1 and 4.5 του Κεφαλαίου 4
(Buildings used as residences) of Annex III of Regulation 61HA,
ειδικά σε ότι αφορά τους απαιτούμενους χώρους στάθμευσης για άτομα με αναπηρία.
A. In the paragraph 4.1 it is stated that :

only in apartment buildings with five or more residential units

less than five units, none of the above is required

B. In the paragraph 4.5 it is stated that :
«4.5 Σε πολυκατοικίες οικιστικών μονάδων απαιτείται ένας χώρος στάθμευσης ανά 15
apartments which is configured in addition to the parking spaces
apartments."
In relation to the paragraph 4.5 a question was raised as to whether the requirements for spaces
disabled parking apply for beyond 5 οικιστικών μονάδων ή για πέραν των 15
διαμερισμάτων.
The Accessibility Advisory Committee interprets that, in deployments with five or
more residential apartments, an additional parking space is required
persons with disabilities for every fifteen apartments, with a minimum number of one space
disabled parking. Of course that, the final number of additional spaces
disabled parking, is the result of division (number of dwellings
of apartments per 15), στρογγυλοποιημένο στον πλησιέστερο ακέραιο αριθμό.

buildings, for the purposes of meeting these requirements it is 1.20 m, and the minimum
width between handrails is 1,00 m.
