The task-base qualification framework, developed by Bus-GoCircular project, aims at developing circular skills in construction. The framework will be used by the project to develop train-the-trainer and mentoring programmes for circular construction skills in Europe, and learning outcomes will be added to the BUILD UP Skills Advisor app.

Why is it important the way we build? How is the construction and building industry going to be transformed in order to met the energy transition targets? According to Iulia Potor, from Partel, by integrating Life Cycle assessment for construction projects, professionals can optimise whole life carbon, cost, and circularity of design.

The BPIE report "Whole life carbon and industrial renovation: realising the opportunities to reduce the lifecycle carbon footprint of buildings" focuses on opportunities to leverage both the whole-life carbon impact of renovation and industrial prefabricated renovation solutions and provides recommendations for policymakers aiming to create an optimal policy framework to reduce emissions from buildings while fostering innovation in the renovation sector.
