In France, and in spite of many initiatives such as BUS1 platform, whose actions have been implemented without any overall coordination nor monitoring, there is an increasing need for an up-skilled workforce to support energy renovation goals for 2030 and 2050. BUS2 aims, through a step-by-step implementation while involving a local and regional focus, to relaunch an open platform by improving the coordination between public and private stakeholders at all levels and on different topics: market demand and upskilling initiatives.
The objective is to mobilize these stakeholders to work together addressing identified barriers (based on a shared status quo analysis, and co-constructed national roadmap and scenarios for 2023-2030 and further.), during and after the duration of the project to ensure results sustainability via a follow-up organization post BUS2. BUS 2 contributes to the upskilling results of EU funded projects in France: BIMplement, BUSleague, and Blueprint, and is complementary with national initiatives on the market and educational and training sides.
Synergies and co-benefits with other LIFE sub-program –especially regarding the circular economy and with other E.U policy areas, will be created. The expected effects are identified and quantified with relevant indicators, especially those related to the involvement of key state stakeholders, who contribute giving credibility to the impacts. Consortium members, with the expertise of ADEME, and the AVE network of local authorities, also contribute to the credibility.
Results will be open source and exploitable by all the stakeholders, and methodology will be replicated in regions and local territories other than those involved in the initial 18 months. Communication and dissemination activities will be targeted towards stakeholders, public, potential building sector workers and regional and local authorities.
