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 user-friendly holistic energy efficiency accreditation system for building professionals ECCoPro.
The objective of the scheme is to support closer alignment between professionals, and to allow users to clearly identify building professionals who have upskilled in energy efficiency related skills, thus incentivising professionals to upskill in the area.
Feedback received as part of workshops 1 and 2 has allowed us to better define how a framework for holistic energy efficiency training of building professionals could operate. A short summary of that work is available here. The IGBC is now delighted to invite interested parties to provide feedback on this document to Marion by Friday, 26th January 2018.
About the workshop
The aim of this second last workshop is to discuss what is required for the framework to fully empower users (from individuals who want to retrofit their homes to public bodies and larger organisations who procure work), and to incentivise building professionals to upskill in the area. As continuous improvements will be needed to address weaknesses and to keep up with best practices, product development or new technologies, workshop participants will also discuss how to make the framework smart and adaptive.
