Description (eng)
The question of what measures are required to achieve climate neutrality in the building
sector formed the core of the "Reboot BUILD UP Skills Austria" (ReBUSk) project. In this context,
the focus was directed toward developing an education and training roadmap extending to
2030 that was in line with meeting national and European climate targets. The aim is to ensure
that the skills needed in a climate-neutral building sector are available by the end of the
current decade.
This roadmap was developed under the leadership of the Austrian Energy Agency by an
interdisciplinary project consortium consisting of the University for Continuing Education Krems
(Department for Building and Environment), the Styrian Energy Agency, the Austrian Institute
for Vocational Education and Training Research, and the Graz University of Technology.
The consortium’s main task was to identify the skills that will be required to overcome the
challenges that lie ahead and to show how these can be most effectively integrated into
Austria's diverse education and training landscape.
Based on regular and joint discussions with stakeholders from various educational institutions,
professional associations, and other organisations and on the status quo analysis1 carried out
in the project, this roadmap covers a total of five strategic fields of action. These provide the
framework for measures that must be implemented to achieve a climate-neutral building
stock. As of March 18, 2024, more than 65 relevant Austrian organisations have expressed
their support for the implementation of these measures.
This roadmap shows which educational and training measures will significantly support the
building sector as society moves towards a climate-neutral future.
