Typical dwelling retrofit projects.will rarely sustain the engagement of traditional building design professionals... The onus, therefore, will be on the building contractor or craft workers/installers to apply newly introduced principles and technologies to a multitude of different building types. Trainers in this sector are usually employed on the basis of trade related qualifications. the majority have been employed in education prior to the implementation of new building standards, therefore may have limited awareness or experience of the changes that are occurring onsite IEE/12/BWI/339/SI2.659728 1/11/13 33 Months

Training Actions Introduce a short Foundation Energy Training for all Building Construction Workers. Review apprentice curricula for construction crafts to incorporate knowledge and new skills related to low energy buildings. Develop specialist training for each relevant craft. Develop specialist training for arising technician roles. Review, update and develop if needed new programmes for construction managers and site supervisors that will equip them with the necessary skills to manage the implementation of low energy buildings. Train the Trainers.
