A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Education and upskilling
The SmartBuilt4EU project has set up four task forces investigating issues related to smart buildings: their objective is to identify the remaining challenges and barriers to smart building deployment, and the associated research and innovation gaps that should be addressed in the near future. The topic investigated in the year 2022 addressed education and upskilling. To reach the EU targets, the building sector must deliver a smarter, more flexible and resilient data-driven built environment. The built environment is increasingly embracing digital technologies, including control and automation systems, and as such is paving the way to smarter ways of managing our buildings and wider infrastructures. Digitalisation implies major changes in design methods, technologies and tools. Beyond BIM, in light of technology advancements and societal changes related to buildings in the Industry 5.0 era, there will be a fundamental shift in designing and constructing smart buildings. With about 95% of its construction chain composed of SMEs and micro-enterprises (ECTP, 2019) characterised by low rates of technological adoption and innovation activity, and decreasing efficiency, digitalisation of SMEs in the construction sector is strategic for the EU. As pointed out by the European Commission, “the transformation towards a climate-neutral building stock will only be possible if existing jobs are transformed to include green and circular skills and if new job profiles emerge, such as specialists in deep building renovation, installers for advanced technological solutions, or Building Information Modelling managers”. However, construction sector workers are typically not knowledgeable or lack access to digital tools that could facilitate their work: providing lifelong (digital) skills development for (blue-collars) employees within the construction sector through trainings is a priority. This white paper, therefore, aims to provide an overview of what is known and what should be further investigated to answer the following ...
