Objective
To provide appropriate means to train lower skilled personnel, who have a key role to play in day-to-day energy savings in the housing sector, but who cannot be properly instructed by using presently-available courses designed for technicians and engineers.
- A multi media training tool available in 3 languages ( french, english, german ) and in 5 versions for 5 states (France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Belgium).
- The dissemination of this training package, including experimental training sessions and evaluation , and training of trainers
- the start of a wide range training programme starting from end 1994 and going on the following years.
A continuous and lasting reduction in the level of energy consumption in buildings cannot be achieved merely by investing in the remodeling of existing buildings or by raising construction standards for new housing projects.Attention must also be paid to training all those who are responsible for day-to-day energy management, including personnel without particular technical qualifications, such as caretakers. Though not in charge of technical operations, such employees have an important role in reducing the level of energy consumption, as these are the people who have to convey relevant information between all parties concerned. Accordingly such people require a basic knowledge of how the building ( including the heating systemand the hot water production system ) works as an energy consumming system, as well as an understanding of the various Technical and social factors which influence energy consumption ; a knowledge of what must be done to respond toparticular cicumstances ; and who should make this response.
The multi media programme "In the Fied" Energy Management in the Housing Sector is directed at training those "hands-on" employees in five states : Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, and United Kingdom. the total number of potential trainees, in the five countries may be estimatedat between 150 000 and 200 000 people.
The means used for this training programme involved a multi-media training tool, combining the use of micro-computer programme and video disc. The use of this training package (including a training guide for the instructor) will facilitate the organisation of the training sessions which, for a group ranging from 10 to 20 trainees, may last from 2 to 4 days, depending on the trainees' previous training level and technical background.
