The Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Zagreb is the oldest civil engineering faculty (established in 1919) in Croatia conducting university education at an undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate level in all branches of civil engineering. It is continually developing and advancing higher education, scientific research activities and overall education, and actively participates in the development of the profession and implementation of new technologies.
Faculty of Civil Engineering University of Zagreb (UZ-FCE) provides a significant contribution in developing the learning content and training delivery methodology as well in the piloting and evaluation of the trainings due to its experience in education of experts in civil engineering through its basic activities in training and lifelong learning. UZ-FCE is focusing on enhancing the importance of the multidisciplinary approach when teaching students (future middle and senior level professionals) in the field of energy efficiency and is also introducing BIM into its curricula. Additionally, UZ-FCE has knowledge of the qualification and/or certification requirements for developing different trainings and courses as it develops didactical material for engineers and Architects, installers, and workers. Furthermore, UZ-FCE contributes enhancing the general image of the construction sector: it is working intensively on improving market recognition of skills in the building sector through their participation in the work of numerous professional organisations and technical committees as well as on professional conferences, together with publishing numerous professional and scientific papers. Through numerous projects, UZ-FCE has proven its capacity to involve different stakeholders and to organize national events discussing specific topics.

We also have experts and experiences related to the nuclear field. Working with more than 3000 clients yearly, the main mission of the institute is assistance of securing the high quality of the implementations of the construction sector. In the field of innovation we are working from applied research to the market uptake. Our operation covers the entire country and also includes several international markets. ÉMI was the technical project manager of the Hungarian national residential refurbishment programme and has been acted as technical assessor of the structural funds of the project getting funded by the structural fund in the national environmental and energy operation programme (KEOP). ÉMI is an active member of a number of European and international organizations (EOTA, EGOLF, ENBRI, WFTAO, CIB, ECTP, UEA etc.). ÉMI was taken part in several EU funded projects from FP5, FP6, FP7 and H2020 related to sustainable construction and energy efficient buildings, having experience in demonstration works as well and large-scale implementation of NZEB and renewable energy utilization in district scale. Currently ÉMI is also participating in H2020 Smart Cities and Communities projects. In 2019 ÉMI organized the Solar Decathlon Europe competition (http://sde2019.hu/index_en.html) which is the ultimate international university competition in innovative homebuilding, after that we established a national model house park and living lab in our Science and Technology Park in Szentendre. ÉMI is also an accredited adult education institution in different construction fields. Furthermore we are currently working on large national constructions, such as the Buda Castle.
ÉMI has experience in projects aiming at upskilling the actors of the construction field. ÉMI coordinated Pillar I. (BUSH) and Pillar II. (TRAINBUD) of the Hungarian Build up Skills projects where an energy efficiency training scheme and material were developed for HVAC skilled workers. Currently ÉMI is workpackage leader in NEWCOM project and responsible for the development and piloting of nZEB training for flat roofers. ÉMI is also workpackage leader in BIMzeED project and is responsible for WP5 Piloting and evaluation.

ITeC is a non-profit private foundation working in the field of the construction sector since 1978. Our goals as an organization to support innovation are: (1) The generation and transfer of information and knowledge; (2) The provision of technological services to improve the competitiveness of the construction sector agents: organizations, companies and professionals; (3) To be a benchmark institution in terms of information, innovation and sustainability applied to the construction sector. We are focused on 6 main activities: (1) Certification of innovative and non-standardized products; (2) new methodologies and tools to manage and make decisions during the construction processes; (3) databases and BIM libraries; (4) sustainability in construction; (5) market research; (6) training activities
ITeC has a strong link with construction industries in Spain. It is a point of reference in the building sector for databases, process management methodologies and for BIM evolution.
Due to its BIM knowledge, its experience in transfer of information and its connection with industry, ITeC’s contribution is relevant for WP2 and WP3 (Literature Review and Needs Analysis and Training Material Development).
It has been analysed and detected that the educational offer must be improved; the application of BIM in the design of nZEB buildings must go from theoretical to practical level because the professionals have an insufficient level of knowledge to carry out the projects, at a practical level (BIM and/or nZEB).
ITeC develops a training needs and skills gaps roadmap, before piloting 12-16 relevant Learning Units LUs with 400-500 construction students, site managers, craftworkers and other experienced operatives, therefore improving their employability. ITeC is also in charge of the coordination and development of the training methodology together with the participation of the partners. It will train and update 120 educators in European HEIs and VETs by implementing pilot tests of the new training resources and training materials, which will be available as transferable Learning Units.
Moreover, being mainly involved in specific technical assessments and certifications, ITeC can give also important support also for WP5 during the testing and piloting of the e-learning platform.
ITeC’s databases includes information on construction products, prices, technical specifications, certificates, product images and environmental data. It also provides users with all the construction sector regulations, including building, industrial and civil works current legislative framework and developments. It represents the source of information to facilitate the prescriber decision-making process.
In relation to process management, ITeC has developed a methodology on construction process management called TCQ. This methodology is based on the Bedec Database and the TCQ2000 software, which covers the construction work life cycle including planning, quality, cost and environmental management. TCQ connects with the BIM work environment software, using multi-platform solutions that guarantee interoperability. Process management skills and background can also be useful for WP6.
The Architects’ Council of Europe is the European organisation representing the architectural profession at European level. Its headquarters and Secretariat are located in Brussels. Its membership currently consists of 43 Member Organisations, which are the regulatory and professional representative bodies in all European Union (EU) Member States, and accession Countries, Switzerland and Norway. Through them, the ACE represents the interests of over 565.000 architects from 31 countries in Europe.
Considering the expected contribution of the building sector to the 2050 objectives and beyond, it is clear that the role of the architects is crucial, as they are expected to deliver new or retrofitted buildings that offer high performance. The need for appropriate training of architects is substantial as the building sector is confronted with a constant evolution of building materials and technologies. Moreover, innovative approaches both regarding the planning and management of the construction process are necessary in order to reach nZEB standards. For the above reasons, the availability of information and of appropriate training materials for future architects is vital.
The ACE is the dissemination and communication leader of BIMzeED project.
