The UPGREAT project [Upskilling Professionals for deep enerGy efficiency REnovations: A Tool for better schools], coordinated by National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, In cooperation with the Hellenic Passive House Institute, the Cyprus Energy Agency, and the German Da-Di-Werk, was designed to improve the skills of construction professionals in Cyprus and Greece, in relation to radical energy renovations, and in particular the energy upgrades of school buildings.
In this context, the project developed and implemented a Learning Toolkit which was addressed to professionals in the sector and contributed to minimizing the gap between the design phase and the implementation of energy upgrades.
The project was co-financed by the European Climate Initiative [EUKI], the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the Federal Government of Germany. To find out more, please contact us at +357 22667716.
