PREFACE
"Future Buildings and Districts – From Nano to Urban Scale" was the topic of the
international scientific conference CISBAT 2015, which took place in the Swiss lakeside city
of Lausanne from 9 to 11 September 2015.
Designed as a platform for interdisciplinary dialog and presentations of innovative research
and development in the field of sustainability in the built environment, the conference
covered a wide range of subjects from solar nanotechnologies to the simulation of buildings
and urban districts.
CISBAT 2015 was the 13
thedition of CISBAT, whose vocation is to present new perspectives
offered by renewable energies in the built environment as well as the latest results of
research and development in sustainable building technology, in a setting that encourages
networking at the international level. The conference assembled building scientists,
engineers, urban planners and building designers from all over the world in an effort to
promote clean technologies for sustainable buildings and cities. Close to 170 scientific
papers were presented during three intense days of conference.
CISBAT 2015 was organized in scientific partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) and Cambridge University. Furthermore, the organizing committee was
proud to be able to count on an international team of renowned scientists to ensure the
quality of presented papers. The conference also teamed up for the third time with the Swiss
Chapter of the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA-CH) to
strengthen the subject of “Building Simulation”, one of the conference's leading topics.
Finally we were proud to host an outreach event of the Swiss Competence Centre for Energy
Research “Future Energy Efficient Buildings and Districts” (SCCER FEEB&D) as well as a
Workshop on Grid-Supportive Buildings organised by Fraunhofer IBP and E.ON Energy
Research Center, RWTH Aachen.
Organised under the auspices of the Swiss federal Office of Energy (SFOE) and the Federal
Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI), CISBAT 2015 connected researchers and
projects and gave an exciting insight into current research and development in the field of
sustainable buildings and cities. It is our greatest wish that the conference will have led to a
better understanding of the issues at stake and to fruitful, creative collaboration between its
participants.

ABSTRACT
The innovative training model for eco-building technologies in retrofitting projects (founded
by EU Commission in the IEE programme in the REE_TROFIT project
http://www.reetrofit.eu/content.php
) aims to contribute to solve the shortage of local qualified
and accredited retrofitting experts, as foreseen in the EPBD and its recast - and as indicated by
various European countries in an assessment by the EC - for increasing the energy
performance of the existing building stock. The retrofitting training model will use in-house
know-how and experiences of participants in carrying out vocational courses on innovative
eco-building technologies. The training model defines best practices for institutionalization
and implementation of vocational courses on renewable energy solutions and energy
efficiency in retrofitting, setting up and implementing a large-scale educational scheme and
fostering exchange of knowledge and best practices among stakeholders. One of the major
milestones of the project is to raise awareness in the regional, national and European policy
makers for the full implementation of the EPBD and its recasts. Additionally, during its
lifespan, it intends to define an exploitation strategy for assuring the sustainability of training
beyond the project duration and increase the local retrofitting markets.
The training scheme is founded on an innovative educational model specifically targeted for
building professionals; the adopted retrofitting training model offers the following attractive
features:
Flexibility: applicable in contexts with different regulatory frameworks, climate,
landscape restrictions, qualification levels of learners, etc.
Transferability: capable of responding to local training needs through methodologies
and tools transferable at European level.
Innovation: accessible, affordable and capable of overcoming the problems
encountered by previous training program experimented in the partnering countries.
Modularity: offers different training programs which are composed of independent,
closed, domain-specific modules that may be activated according to the different
training needs.
Brevity: offers training courses with a short duration, which are decomposed in shorter
training tracks in order to ease the attendance of the targeted professionals.
Plurality: different training methods, tools and media might be used in the training
process in order to take in regard the trainees needs and to guarantee effectiveness.
Keywords: Retrofitting buildings, training, courses, renewable energy.
INTRODUCTION
One of the main goals of the REE_TROFIT project is to assure a massive replication of
training beyond the project duration in the EU MS.
The Guide for the institutionalization of training courses is one of the results of the research
project, published in the final report and adopted by the Consortium. It provides practical
knowledge, guidance and suggestions to have the REE_TROFIT training recognized by
different stakeholders in Europe (focusing on the REE_TROFIT partnering countries), and
outlines the way to gain mutual recognition of the acquired qualification. More detailed
information can be found in the extended version of the Guidelines
for
the
institutionalization
of
training
courses developed by REE_TROFIT partners.
The Guide addresses the following levels of audience:
1) The consortium partners, in order to share experiences and best practices;
2) Chambers of Commerce and vocational Training organizations providing operational
information on the best way to institutionalize the training program;
3) Other stakeholders that can assure the replication of training in other EU member states
beyond the duration of project.
The institutionalization of training should bring to a certification designed and implemented
in accordance with regional, national and European framework. Moreover, the obtained
certification could bring some advantages for trained people depending on the regional or
national regulation (grid of salaries, right of access to specific market etc.). Considering the
different local contexts, the institutionalization of the training model has been achieved with
different specific approaches and local strategies focusing on the endorsement of relevant
stakeholders. As a result, due to the endorsement of several institutions, high level of
participation to the REE_ TROFIT training courses was secured.
Results of this activity are reported in the table below.

METHODOLOGY
The certification standard should make qualified professionals identifiable on the labour
market, thus bringing benefits to both professional and building companies; for this purpose it
needs to be included in official, legitimate schemes. First, the organisation which is expected
to assess and deliver the certification should be well known and recognized in the country and
in the professional sector. In different countries, different certification schemes exist and this
makes complex the choice of the suitable institution/organisation.
The following issues are important in order to identify the best way to address the
institutionalisation of courses:
- type of occupation standard: complete job or part of an existing job;
- existence of a qualification organisation and/or qualification register;
- existence of certification in the professional sector.
Each framework has to be studied in each country in order to define the best certification
system. The pathway to be covered will probably be different in different countries, but if all
certifications
are
based
on
the
same
qualification
standards
(
http://www.lucense.it/upload/file/REE_TROFIT_Final_Publishable_Report.pdf
), the transparency
of qualification acquired will be ensured, in accordance of European recommendation. Taking
into consideration the intricate processes to identify the wide variety of qualifications, it is of
utmost importance to implement a certification process that could be relevant in the different
realities, for consistency and legitimacy purposes.
The new certification awarded may also be useful for professional qualification in local,
regional or national regulations. The implementation of a tangible and coherent system
serving the various actors’ and users’ needs then appears of utmost importance.
The general objective of the REE_TROFIT model is to elaborate an effective Vocational
Educational Training (VET) model whose relevant characteristic is to provide short track
training for already working people in the building market, able to assure the essence of
sustainability in buildings is their capability to adapt to change over time.
Training quality
Quality assurance is a continuous and complex process, where feedback (made by trainers and
tranees) plays a key role in reviewing the referenced criteria and indicators. The
REE_TROFIT model suggests a framework for assuring quality taking into account four
interrelated elements: planning, implementation, evaluation and assessment and review.

Evaluation and
Assessment
The REE_TROFIT
model
recognises
the importance of a
continuous
evaluation of the
training programme
and assessment of
the
training
outcomes
at
different levels.
The REE_TROFIT model considers essential that the findings of the evaluation are provided
to those concerned, including strengths, weaknesses, areas for improvement and
recommendations for action. Also the relevant stakeholders (i.e. current and former trainees,
staff, employers and trade union representatives) should be involved in discussions arising
from evaluation results.

Role and impact of trainees
REE_TROFIT courses include detailed information for cost-optimal energy saving retrofit,
accompanied by financial analysis (i.e. payback times) and technical specifications, which
haveproven crucial to evaluate energy benefit in retrofitting .
They provide energy experts and building professionals with energy advice tools that link to
the
EPBD
methodology, and to grant or financial support (Regional and National, for instance
Integration of renewable energies) schemes by imposing almost minimum levels for the
overall energy performance of public or residential buildings after renovations. This
methodology is important to firmly embed REE_TROFIT installers and builders as a key
instrument in the start-up phase of any energy saving retrofit activity.
The existing cost differences between energy efficient and “standard” refurbishments have a
great influence on the decision making process of the property owners. To encourage
investment in ambitious energy saving retrofit, Public Institutions and policy makers are
central. It is vital that policy makers’ recommendations are accurate, based on robust data and
analysis and are effectively communicated. But policy makers can decide that data and
information can also play a dynamic role in the decision making process, beyond simply the
information printed on the certificate. Further, the national or regional regulation issuing body
can interact more with the supply chain, helping to create new systems that enable the select
services such expert certified by Ree_trofit vocational courses and by Chambers of
Commerce that participate to the Consortium.
More broadly, any programme’s success in driving uptake for energy efficient and sustainable
refurbishments is highly dependent on the quality of the advice and consultancy. This need for
quality consultancy goes beyond the owners – for example to include landlords and tenant
representative bodies in rental situations. Such a “process management” role to ensure an
integrated supply chain and seamless customer journey is something that is not formalised in
most countries yet, but that we believe is necessary to maximise harvest of the energy
efficiency potential of retrofits. It could however be performed by a number of different actors
with the right level of training (site managers, assessors, project managers) and with the
necessary independency and impartiality.
Training methods and Case Studies
Choice of the most useful training methods in relation to the training market context and the
target group features. The standard course structure is a classroom phase, which lasts 16/24
hours divided into 3/4 hours modules.
The courses have a practical structure, based on:
• Case studies relating to building renovation, best if really existing, according to the logic of
the guided project works. In fact, the trainer should analyze, together with the learners, a
building renovation case, starting from analysis of the building features and context, and
going on with the illustration of the existing solutions (technologies, systems, existing
materials) in the different building sections and plants renovation, the identification of
feasible solutions and finally the definition of the optimal option in the analyzed case.
• Brainstorming, discussion, problem solving: training should seek continuous involvement of
participants through analysis and group discussions about explained topics. Of course, the
number of attendees affect the active participation during the class work.
• Illustration of the existing solutions, through pictures, movies, viewing samples of products
(workshop).
• Product exposition or training laboratory (optional): temporary or permanent showrooms of
sustainable building products and systems (also organized with the products’ manufacturers),
as well as a training laboratory, allow for a “learning by doing” approach helping trainees to
better understand and to have a pragmatic and realistic knowledge of the different topics.
• Study visits to building sites where eco-sustainable solutions are implemented: learning
through sites and building visits is fundamental for vocational training considering that the
trainees would have the possibility to directly experience real examples and realizations of the
technologies and solutions discussed during the lessons.
• Solution of a practical problem. Practical problems and solutions are provided by the
trainers and the trainees are guided through the process of finding the most viable solutions
considering both the technical and economical viability.
The REE_TROFIT training courses provide tools and knowledge to evaluate different
materials, components, technologies and building solutions, in order to choose the better
approach to address high indoor comfort and high energy performance in building retrofitting.
Moreover, the vocational courses allow the trainees to take contact and compare products and
the materials of companies operating in different fields of the building sector allowing for the
establishment of a potential working collaboration, besides the training activities. At the end
of the vocational training course, participants are provided with a certificate of attendance and
are registered on the on-line repository of the REE_TROFIT web portal in order to increase
their visibility toward citizens, housing and consumer associations and customers in need of
information regarding building companies and professionals able to implement a high energy
efficient retrofitting solution.
RESULTS
During the project duration, the localized vocational courses have been implemented through
3 test trials (rolling cycles) in each of the 6 participating countries. The rolling cycle approach
allowed the training programs to be tested, improved upon and optimized for the following
training batch. Courses were implemented in rolling cycles and partners organized, promoted
and delivered vocational training courses over 3 iterative test batches in the 6 partner
countries. Following the plan-do-check-act strategy, after each cycle, feedbacks from
participants were collected and analyzed with a specific validation methodology, the training
contents were enriched (e.g. new modules and multimedia) and the methodology improved
through annual internal trainers’ review workshops. Preparatory activities, organisation and
delivery of three batches of training courses in each partnering country were successfully
performed. The number of participants was higher than expected: 1483 professionals were
trained (instead of the 450 foreseen participants), among which 453 electrical installers, 512
thermo-hydraulic installers, 518 construction professionals. 1293 trainees out of 1483
participants (87%) obtained a Certificate of Attendance. Moreover, the REE_ TROFIT
training courses resulted in positive evaluation by trainees, in particular the overall evaluation
about the training courses resulted on average 4,4 on 5.
CONCLUSION
The Ree_trofit project is demonstrating that by focusing on initiatives to link supply and
demand for refurbishment with focus on energy saving, and particularly by promoting quality
and building trust, vocational courses can successfully drive retrofit actions towards low
energy buildings. However, assessing that impact of Ree_trofit certification action will, as
things stand today, be difficult. Currently, levels of general retrofit activity are poorly
monitored across Europe and there is virtually no monitoring of retrofit activity undertaken in
response to Energy savings measures. There is in other words a huge potential for much better
tracking and analysis to identify the remaining potential for action on energy efficiency and
CO
2emissions improvements in European homes. This is yet another important element that
could support policy makers, market actors, local authorities, and householders themselves in
planning low carbon improvement strategies.
