The INSTRUCT project will adopt an incremental and participative approach, involving our 5 European regional Clusters, comprising a total of 8 Demonstration activities. We will promote active engagement with related European and national projects as well as key players in the built environment training and education sector. In that respect, the proposed methodology is structured around five threads:
- Mobilization of the Construction Industry Value Chain around the theme of Energy Efficiency;
- Evidencing the correlation between training and energy efficiency;
- Devising tools and instruments to facilitate mutual recognition of energy skills and qualifications,
- Demonstrating the efficacy of the INSTRUCT approach in 8 Pilot Demonstrations across 7 European countries;
- Initiating and ramping up Europe wide strategic actions to stimulate demand for energy efficiency skills.
Overview of the demonstration pilots
- Cluster in North Europe (Demonstration no. 1: Energy skills certifications in Helsinki and Demonstration no. 6: Energy gap reduction and initiatives for building owners)
- Cluster in Central Europe (Demonstration no. 3: Partnership with producers, retailers and contractors for energy skills recognition and Demonstration no. 4: Energy skills recognition in policy making in Poland)
- Cluster in West Europe (Demonstration no. 2: BIM for Energy Efficiency Training and Standard in Luxembourg)
- Cluster in South Europe (Demonstration no. 5: Initiatives for building and homeowners in Italy)
- Cluster in Eastern Europe (Demonstration no. 7: Engaging key stakeholders to stimulate demand of energy skills and Demonstration no. 8: Developing capacity for supply of continuing qualification services through blended learning systems in Bulgaria)
