The BIMzeED project focuses on the training needs for the current and future construction industry with the main purpose to encourage 1) better employability 2) low-carbon growth, 3) green and nZEB skills 4) 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.
This Training aims to deliver capacity building to municipalities in the EU27 member states through user-friendly training for the awareness of digital building permits. The Training intends to improve the knowledge and understanding of digital building permits, and potentially improve the municipality’s BIM maturity levels.
The programme contains two training courses (Train the Trainer, and Understanding Digital Permits (Ireland)). You may be registered for one or both of these courses.

The objective of the training is to upskill public sector personnel which will allow the state to increase its capacity for retrofitting, and energy performance improvement works to public sector historic and heritage buildings, and traditional built and historic buildings. This will better equip the government in meeting its ambitious targets as set out in its National Renovation Strategy and the National Development Plan to reduce energy emissions from buildings. Energy retrofitting of traditional and historic buildings is more complex than modern buildings due to several factors, including the hygrothermal behaviour of traditional building material and the need to preserve heritage value.
