About the ECCoPro Project
As the lack of investment in skills at all levels of the construction industry supply chain represents one of the main risks to large scale energy renovation in Ireland, the Irish Green Building Council, in conjunction with Ireland’s main construction professional bodies, is exploring the opportunity of introducing a customer-friendly energy efficiency accreditation system for building professionals ECCoPro.
The objective of the scheme is to support closer alignment between professionals, and to allow end-users to clearly identify construction professionals who have upskilled in energy efficiency related skills, thus incentivising professionals to upskill in the area.
About the workshop
Following up on the publication of “Construction professionals’ energy efficiency knowledge and upskilling – A short review” and on the work completed as part of the first three meetings – please click here for a short summary of same, the aim of this workshop is to reach a final agreement on how we could make energy efficiency accreditation of building professionals a reality in Ireland.
More specifically, the aim of this final workshop is to reach an agreement on how a smart and adaptive framework could work, as well as on the steps necessary for its delivery and allocation of responsibility.
All participants are strongly encouraged to read the latest project update in advance of the meeting.
The workshop will be facilitated by Chris Chapman from the Change Exploratory.
