Build Up Skills: Construye 2020+
Back To MapDescription

Promotion of green jobs in the construction industry through training and accreditation in EE, RES and nZEB.
The project works to boost green jobs in the construction industry by promoting training and accreditation in Energy Efficiency (EE); Renewable Energy Systems (RES) and Near Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB). It seeks to enhance the transition to sustainable, competitive and efficient energy in the construction industry.

Aim
The main target group for the project results are professionals in the construction industry, especially in the building sector. But it is also aimed at companies, especially SMEs, and other actors involved in this sector, as well as society in general, as a user and participant in the sustainable development of this industry
Outcomes

In the area of training and qualification:
Carrying out specific training courses for workers on site of different professional categories:
Categories Officials and Installers courses of: Energy efficiency for operators; Geothermal works; Aluminium and PVC carpentry; Thermal insulation; Biomass systems and Heating and hot water systems.
Categories Foremen and Managers energy efficiency courses for middle management
Category Heads of Works courses on Profitability of energy efficiency in buildings.
In relation to this training, a green or "ECO" label is created, which is awarded to those who have passed the courses and which will appear on their Professional Construction Card (TPC) along with their experience in the sector and other training undertaken.
Energy Auditor Qualification Design
Responding to the provisions of European Directive 2012/27/EU and Royal Decree 26/2016, which regulate energy audits and the accreditation of energy auditors, among others. With this qualification, the professional framework is created at national level, which serves as a basis for designing a VET qualification or a Certificate of Professional Standards
Impacts/Outcomes 2:
Implementation of different initiatives with the aim of knowing and disseminating the situation of the sector in relation to the areas of energy efficiency, renewable energies in building and nearly zero energy buildings.
On the one hand, professional meetings and networking; the Construye 2020+ Alliance and the Construye 2020+ Forum as spaces to create debate about the challenges and difficulties encountered by the different actors on the construction industry.
On the other hand, through the realisation of conferences, dissemination of knowledge of the sector in terms of sustainable construction to SMEs by promoting specialization in these areas.
Impacts/Outcomes 3:
Development of the Construye 2020+ Route, which visits various cities in Spain, and brings eco-training closer to professionals in the sector. Furthermore, it promotes the awareness of the whole society about the sustainable values of the project.
Policy/Initiative

The project contributes to improving the skills of workers in the construction industry in Energy Efficiency; Renewable Energy Systems and Nearly Zero Energy Buildings.
Recommendations
Training:To promote, through the training of professionals in the sector, the transition towards sustainable, competitive and efficient energy in the construction industry.
By 2025, the sector must be prepared for a demand, which is expected to exceed one million workers, in ecological and energy-efficient building.
In addition, society in general must become aware of these issues as citizens who are part of the building sector in order to achieve a reduction in greenhouse gases emissions, energy savings and an increased use of renewable energy.
