The webinar will take place on the 28th of May, from 12.00 to 13.30.

In this webinar will discuss the importance of education and training to achieve high energy performing buildings, and in particular in the context of large-scale renovation interventions. How do we get more skilled workers involved in renovations? Are building professionals prepared for nearly zero-energy buildings and for the modernisation of the building stock in the light of technological developments and smart solutions? How to convince home and building owners to rely more on skilled professionals? How do these professionals get recognised by the market? These are some of the questions that will be explored in the presence of the European Commission.

There will also take stock of ongoing efforts made to upskill building professionals towards energy efficiency and sustainability as a whole. Examples of tools supported through the BUILD UP skills initiative will be presented and discussed, in particular the Advisor app, as well as the Open training platform developed in the frame of the PROF-TRAC project.

Finally, a public consultation on the future of the BUILD UP Skills initiative will be presented, with a view to collect stakeholdersā€™ ideas on priority areas under the next funding programmes.
