Training courses for building specialists and workers
The Building Knowledge Hubs (BKHs) are concentrated on covering the needs and skills gaps identified in the National Roadmaps produced on BUILD UP Skills Pillar I and will provide training on the programmes developed on BUILD UP Skills Pillar II, with respect to the copyrights and intellectual property rights in each country. In order to achieve this goal, the national teams within the consortium have studied, evaluated, adapted and developed the innovative training programmes according to the new available facilities and with a view to provide more complex and target-oriented consulting and training services.
The programmes are delivered with focus on the following broader areas of research and technical know-how:
Climate change and sustainable development:
Characteristics of the existing building stock / specific issues in various categories / energy auditing of buildings – regulations and practices / most frequent (typical) energy saving measures / room for introduction of “step-by-step” approach in retrofitting / role of players – investors (building owners), financiers, designers (architects, engineers), tradespersons, occupants
Integration of RES in buildings and minimization of GHG emissions

The programmes are delivered with focus on the following broader areas of research and technical know-how:
Climate change and sustainable development:
- Basic concepts: energy saving and efficiency in buildings (main definitions) / energy efficiency & RES / energy efficiency in city planning / energy efficiency vs energy poverty / energy efficiency for sustainable development / climate and energy policies – national specifics and EU directives / energy consumption and climate change
- Planning principles: the “bioclimatic” approach / the “Passive House” concept / basic design rules (orientation of buildings, building shape / natural vs artificial lighting / indoor air quality: natural vs artificial hearing, cooling and ventilation, etc.) / building materials
- Technical parameters: heating & cooling load / specific (annual) space heating & cooling demand / airtightness / / thermal bridges / ventilation with heat recovery / specific (annual) primary energy demand / frequency of overheating / overall energy balance of the building / comfort parameters / reference energy values of building components, etc.
- National definition of nZEB standard: basic parameters of the nZEB standard / comparison with other national definitions on nZEB standard / nZEB standard vs “Passive House” standard / National Roadmap for the introduction of the nZEB standard
- Introduction to nZEB / Passive House basic knowledge: Optimal solar gains / Superinsulation / Highly efficient windows / Airtightness /Minimum thermal bridges / Ventilation with heat recovery / Cost effectiveness / Planning and design software
- Specialization “building envelope” (advanced knowledge): Thermal insulation / Thermal bridges / Joinery (windows, doors and other transparent components)
- Specialization “building services” (advanced knowledge): Ventilation / Ventilation - Special features of existing buildings / Heat Supply
Characteristics of the existing building stock / specific issues in various categories / energy auditing of buildings – regulations and practices / most frequent (typical) energy saving measures / room for introduction of “step-by-step” approach in retrofitting / role of players – investors (building owners), financiers, designers (architects, engineers), tradespersons, occupants
Integration of RES in buildings and minimization of GHG emissions
- Use of solar energy (Photovoltaics (roof- and façade-mounted) / solar collectors for DHW (domestic hot water) / solar cooling systems);
- Use of geothermal energy (Geothermal systems / heat pumps / air-water heat pumps;
