White Paper on energy-efficient buildings as job-creation motor

Task force 6 of the IWG5 Buildings Project identified jobs at risk in the construction sector. It considered reskilling strategies while considering new job opportunities arising within the scope of the clean energy transition.

This document prioritises a skills-centric strategy to address the critical challenges of transitioning the construction industry towards a sustainable, low-carbon future. It emphasises equality and certainty as foundational principles, focusing on upskilling, training, and knowledge development. 

These dual pathways create a robust framework for equipping the workforce with the competencies needed to meet the energy challenges of decarbonisation. This methodology not only supports transformative change but also ensures alignment with the evolving requirements of the Implementation Plan. 

To meet the energy challenges of decarbonising construction, it is essential to focus on a skills-centric strategy that tackles critical challenges and stimulates the demand for energy-efficient skills in the entire value chain of the construction sector.
