The BIMzeED project focuses on the training needs for the current and future construction industry with the main purpose to encourage:

• Better employability
• Low-carbon growth
• Green and nZEBNearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) is a building that has a very high energy performance. The nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including energy from renewable sources produced on-site or nearby. Directive 2010/31/EU skills
• Increase in youth employment.

The challenge of the BIMzeED project is to overcome skills mismatching and improve employability in the current European construction market by improving and extending the existing skills of Trainers, SMEs, site managers, craftworkers and other experienced operatives.

The construction industry across Europe is facing major challenges in achieving energyEnergy is a measurable quantity of heat, work, or light. Potential energy is stored energy, like a cord of wood. Kinetic energy is transitional energy, like a flame. efficiency targets, in particular for near Zero Energy BuildingNear Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) is a building that has a very high energy performance.

The BIMzeED project intends to improve the human-capital basis of the construction sector, which is identified as a strategic initiative by the European Commission, acting on HEIs and VET systems in Europe. The BIMzeED project will support the construction industry, through education and training to upskill on technical innovation and digitalization.

BIMzeED will train and up skill 120 educators at European HEIs and VETs by piloting the new learning resources and training materials, which will be made available as transferrable Learning Units.  BIMzeED will pilot 12-16 Learning Units with 400-500 construction students, site managers, craftworkers and other experienced operatives therefore improving their employability. It will work with over 20 various professionals, SMEs, Industry, product and technology providers, R&D and policy makers across Europe to support a profitable and low carbon future. By working with SMEs to tackle skills mismatches and promote excellence in skills development, BIMzeED is in line with “renewed EU agenda for higher education” (Education and Training 2020 strategy – ET2020) and also ensures that SMEs are not left behind in this fast-developing industry.

Aims of BIMzeED

• Identify the knowledge and skills gap in BIMBuilding information modeling (BIM) is digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility creating a shared knowledge and resource for information about it forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life cycle, from earliest conception to demolition. and nZEBNearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) is a building that has a very high energy performance. The nearly zero or very low amount of energy required should be covered to a very significant extent by energy from renewable sources, including energy from renewable sources produced on-site or nearby.
