Construye 2020+ has achieved the involvement and multidisciplinary interaction of the main market players for a sustainable development under the concept of Quintuple Helix innovation Model, which is based in the active interaction of the main market players (Academia, Business, Government, Civil Society, Environment) taking up opportunities to make the best of their talents from a holistic approach.
Following the Quintuple Helix methodology, two sectoral reports have been produced:
A) Training Roadmap for a sustainable construction. It gathers the know-how of close to 70 stakeholders. It includes 30 proposals with a training and pedagogical approach, addressing different target groups and seeking a fine-tuned training scheme for a sustainable construction.
B) Business greening strategy. It gathers experiences in construction industrialisation, digitalisation and circular economy. The report concludes in 16 recommendations to SMEs to encourage green innovation and leadership potential of SMEs.
Cross-cutting training: Energy Efficiency for operators and Energy Efficiency for middle-managers. They are short courses (8 hours) to train blue collars and middle level professionals regarding the most representative key actions for the energy efficiency in buildings. Both courses were piloted, achieving 316 trainees altogether. These courses are in process of being officially included in national cVET plans, initiated in 2022.
Specific training for construction trades -which are considered key for the energy efficiency in buildings, through the updating of 6 Build Up Skills courses: Insulation, Windows, HVAC, Geothermal, Biomass and Calculation of the energy performance. This updating has consisted of: a) the conversion to a blended training (in Moodle platform), b) the inclusion of nZEB, BIM and LEAN concepts, c) the integration of Ontological Flip Teaching methodology; d) the increase of number of graphic resources; and e) the development of games that supports the theoretical concepts. These courses reached 1771 trainees in 2021.
Endorsed by a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Partnership, the Green Tag is a recognition of green skills scheme under the Spanish non-formal training framework. It is a long-lasting certification tool linked to the 8 project training courses, that allows construction workers to achieve a Green Tag after evidence that s/he has own basic, intermediate or advanced green skills.
According to the Royal Decree 56/2016 (transposing Directive 2012/27/EU), one of the training requirements to be an Energy Auditor, was a worker trained in an official Vocational Education title based on a qualification from the National Catalogue of Professional Qualifications. Construye 2020+ has developed this new and core qualification, following formal proceedings, which has been published in the National Official Gazzete in January 2022.
The Virtual Route Construye 2020+ managed 15 regional webinars across Spain with the aim to disseminate the benefits of the energy efficiency. At a regional level, a group of representatives of social agents, construction companies, training centers and public administration debated about the regional challenges in sustainable construction, focusing on the implementation of Next Generation funds.
