European Training Programme on Energy Efficient Renovation of Old Buildings

The building sector therefore offers the largest potential for energy savings, which in turn will reduce our negative impact on the environment. The savings potential is estimated at around 28%. In accordance with the Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings overall energy consumption should be reduced by 20% below 1990 level by 2020. The Action Plan identified the significant potential for cost-effective energy saving in the buildings sector. We are sure that increasing rate and depth of renovation of the building stock is the most cost effective and fastest way to cut energy consumption and has a great potential for creating of new jobs and promote economic recovery of the construction sector. EU needs to deep renovate about 3% of its building each year for the next years to meet energy and economic goals by 2050. All available energy saving technologies should be incorporated what can achieved a reduction in energy consumption of between 60% to 90% for the majority of buildings.Mentioned above reasons led us to predict that construction sector will continue demanding of competent professionals and managers with new knowledge and skills necessary for energy-efficient renovation of existing buildings. At present renovation process management became one of the most important field of knowledge and competencies having a great importance for planning and managing entire renovation. Training Programme on Energy Efficient Renovation of Old Buildings has been developed by Bydgoska Szkola Wyzsza as an interdisciplinary course in cooperation between two faculties: Faculty of Construction and Faculty of Production Engineering and Management (Management of Renewable Energy Sources specialty). This course was updated and developed constantly according to changes observed in construction technology and new challenges. The whole training programme was divided into two parts: theoretical, knowledge based that has been delivered online (rapid e-learning technology for almost every platforms) and practical workshop (face-to-face module). Pilot ECVET system was implemented for making a seamless comparison between outcomes reached in all partners countries. The main goal of this project was to implement training programme to train managers, executives and other staff of construction companies that they were not prepared appropriately for new challenges in energy saving renovations of old buildings.
