BUILD UP Skills Belgium - Pillar 1
The project represented the first phase of the BUILD UP Skills initiative in Belgium. 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.
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.
The BUILD UP Skills United (BUSUnited) project, under the LIFE Clean Energy Transition programme, promotes sustainable energy skills in Europe’s construction sector by fostering collaboration, innovative training, and large-scale upskilling to support the EU’s climate-neutral goals.
