Construction sector represents one of Europe’s major contributors to energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Building sector is rather conservative to adopt new technologies and practices. Fast development of new technologies and business models demand sustainable development of formal and informal competencies of employees. There is clearly present lack of relevant informations database in that field in Slovenian construction industry. The partnership for recording, registration and definition of the formal and informal competencies focused on concepts of adaptable, recyclable, sustainable and energy efficient buildings has been identified in assisting individuals and organizations in construction sector. The
partnership consists of Slovenian network of University and industry.
The purpose of the project is to provide availability of knowledge infrastructure and raise awareness about sustainable development and energy efficiency in construction sector. It is very important to decrease gap between requirements of functional needs and available technical solutions to popularize use of low-energy solutions among vocational trained population and wider.
