Overview
List of projects (13)
The project represented the first phase of the BUILD UP Skills initiative in Greece. The first objective was to gather the key national stakeholders from the energy, education & training and building sectors. Together they formed a National Qualification Platform. The platform mapped the existing workforce and qualification programs, identified future skills needs and analysed which gaps and barriers must be overcome in order to train the workforce and reach the 2020 EU energy targets. Results were bundled in a National Status Quo report. The platform then formulated a National Roadmap of measures to overcome skills gaps and barriers, which was endorsed by key stakeholders.
The project aimed to implement the national skills roadmap developped under the previous Pilar 1 project, through the development of training and qualification schemes for onsite workers and craftspeople.
BUILD UP Skills – REbooting the GReek national platform and UPdating the national roadmap
BUS-REGRoUP aimed to accelerate the Clean Energy Transition in Greece by expanding the national skills framework to encompass both blue-collar workers and white-collar professionals. By revitalizing the National Qualifications Platform, the project successfully updated the Country's status quo analysis to integrate critical new competencies in smart buildings, digitalization, and circularity. Today, local training providers and stakeholders can leverage the project's fully updated National Roadmap, which offers a clear action plan and priority measures to effectively reskill the entire building value chain for 2030.

Towards an Open, Universal and Comprehensive Building Energy Performance Certification.
Project details and results available here.
OpenBEP4EU aims to deliver an open-source, universal software implementation of the ISO 52000 standards family, namely the EU Kernel EPC Engine, to facilitate simultaneous and coordinated adoption of an innovative EPC calculation approach among all the Member States.
This initiative aims to make building performance data easily accessible to various stakeholders like financial institutions, energy service providers, and building owners, fostering the development of financial products supporting sustainable renovation projects.

New Skills for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings
NS4NZEB focuses on boosting the number of qualified building professionals capable of delivering nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEB) through specialized training methods. The project is developing and piloting new tailored courses, bridging the gap between theoretical NZEB concepts and practical on-site application. The initiative offers open-access training materials and methodological guidelines specifically designed for integrating NZEB standards into everyday construction practices.
