Description

NS4nZEBs project aimed to tackle existing mismatches between the skills currently characterising the energy performance and the ones increasingly in demand and indispensable in the future, to increase the number of skilled building professionals in the fields of PVs, smart electrical systems, heat pumps and hydrogen technologies in buildings at all levels of the building design, operation and maintenance. This leads to an increased application of new energy efficient and renewable energy technologies for the successful uptake of (nearly) Zero Energy Buildings, the upscaling of ambitious renovation interventions, the roll-out of efficient renewable-based heating and cooling, in particular heat pumps, thus contributing to phasing out EU dependence on fossil fuels imports. This was achieved by development of new and upgrading existing training methods and curricula, and qualifications courses for all building value chain professionals.

In its role of subcontractor of Sofia Energy Centre, ABEA carried out:

1. Consultations on the scope and content of training programs for electrical and HVAC engineers
2. Assessment of the quality of training materials for electrical and HVAC engineers, and recommendations for improvement
3. Assistance in disseminating information about the project’s objectives, tasks, and results to stakeholders through events organized by ABEA.
