Reaching the national and EU 2030 energy and climate objectives requires a major transformation of the skills and knowledge along the whole value chain of the construction industry, which needs to be ready to deliver quality deep energy renovations and zero-emission buildings.

As evidenced by the recent BUILD UP Skills Status Quo analyses, insufficient capacity of the construction industry is a significant bottleneck on the way to decarbonising the building stock in time.

To tackle this challenge, the DiVirtue project aims to create new construction sector capacities in five countries via the digitalisation of existing and new training schemes for students and construction professionals. This will be achieved through the development of innovative construction skills training materials with the application of virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies.

Start date: August 2024 - End date: August 2027
