As currently there is a lack of skilled and trained experts with multidisciplinary knowledge on sustainable architecture, technical building systems and electric engineering in the European Union, both higher education and adult education have to respond to this urgent need with newly elaborated training materials.The main objective of HI-SMART project is to develop an innovative educational package targeting higher education students and professionals in Hungary, Slovakia and Germany to support design, construction and operation of intelligent, energy efficient buildings in compliance with the requirements of the energy performance of buildings (EPBD) directive of the European Union. The complex educational package will provide students with the newest competences and skills on energy efficient building technologies, and will make the professional knowledge of engineers and construction professionals more competitive in the labour market. The main intellectual output of the project is an innovative, complex educational package that will be elaborated on energy efficient building technologies, renewable energy sources, smart solutions in buildings in a broad perspective utilising the various fields of expertise the project partners own. The education material will be integrated into the curricula of the participating universities, and will be shared with the relevant business sector stakeholders and actors in each participating country. A short intensive training materail will also be elaborated by the partners, which will be suitable for adult education purposes as well besides using it in the academic and business sectors.The development of the educational package and the short intensive training will be supported by short-term joint staff training sessions, blended mobility activities for students and professionals. The results of the project will be shared at multiplier events organized in each participating country for the business sector stakeholders, for professionals working in the building industry, and for higher education institutions.

RenoHUb aims to trigger a significant upscale of the energy retrofits of the Hungarian homes through the development of an integrated business model that is sustainable and cost-covering after the end of the project. RenoHUb intends to enable households to take the first step towards becoming prosumers, and map and remove all the non-financial barriers which cause setbacks in the process. The project addresses the entire value chain of home retrofit: from social, behavioral, communication and capacity building aspects through supporting the decision-making and the technical implementation, up to ex-post assessment of energy and cost saving. The key project focus includes the promotion of trilateral cooperation between the home owners, the existing local “Sparkasse” (building saving society) institutions as well as commercial and development banks. The total of 4.4 million of Hungarian households accounts for some 33-35 percent of the country's energy consumption. Two-thirds of residential building stock is energetically outdated. Hungary’s final energy saving commitment by the end of 2020 assumes 167,5 PJ. With the current pace of the energy refurbishment in the residential sector, this target is unlikely to be achieved. The goals for 2030 have already been drafted in the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and will be decided by the end of 2019. The residential sector will be the primary sector targeted for energy efficiency developments since after demonstrating a slight decline within the period of 2005-2015 the overall energy consumption of the residential sector has increased since 2015. RenoHUb encompasses extensive consultations with stakeholders, including financing institutions, as well as capacity building, pilot renovation activities and targeted communication. The key project outcome will be a Renovation Hub model that is based on a “one-stop-shop” scheme. It will integrate an on-line platform and physical advisory hotspots in order to increase the renovation rate both in the multi and single family building segments in Hungary.

"Energy systems especially fossil fuel resources leads to global warming & the energy systems designs must be done according to the rules of protection of the nature & the environment.CLEAN k-WAT Project aimed at the preparation of the teaching materials & media on the ‘impacts of energy systems including renewables on the environment & nature’.Target groups were energy systems designers (engineers),mechanical,civil engineers & students in those departments.Because,we noticed that, these engineers were lack of functions of ecosystems & ecological mechanisms.In addition to technical aspects energy systems design processes,it is certainly required to integrate environmental concerns deeply as well.Along this line,it was aimed to train energy systems designers,students on the vulnerability & fragility of ecosystems & nature. The first goal of the project was to prepare innovative training materials for the target group identified as energy systems designers & energy systems engineering students.A book & related documents were prepared in partner universities with the help of ICT in training,teaching & learning activities.E-learning platform was prepared. The book contained the following topics;1. ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT & ECOSYTEM RELATIONS 2. ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINTING FOR ENERGY SYSTEMS 3. CONVENTIONAL ENERGY PRODUCTION SYSTEMS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: THERMAL POWER PLANTS4. ECOLOGICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSIONS OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS gesellerin Gösterimi ve Tartışma)5. SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS 6. WIND ENERGY 7. WAVE, TIDAL & HYDROGEN ENERGY8. GEOTHERMAL ENERGY9. HYDROPOWER ENERGY 10. BIOMASS ENERGY SYSTEMSSo; starting with the question ""What is Green Energy?"", we continued by presenting the ecological approach & the potential environmental impacts, & making comparisons of the production systems in a given area & judged on the best solutions with an innovative decision tree development & applications. Of course economical approaches also took place in the training materials.As a second goal; the project was oriented on enhancing the quality & performance of VET system, improving information & guidance systems & strengthening the EU dimension in the energy systems development & development through promoting creativity, innovation & transfer of EQF principles in terms of increasing the qualification & training of the main target group in the sector.In order to realize these set of aims, our project used the following objectives:1. Definition of joint LO based blended learning model in energy sector;establishment of innovative competence standard & qualifications description approach in terms of content & target audience.2. Adaptation & development of courses in accordance to the definition of the qualification model & implementation of EQF/ISCO/ESCO principles.3. Use of ICT in training,teaching & learning activities.VET learning & teaching methodologies innovation including visual materials.In the project,we had 8 partners;2 universities from Turkey,1 from Serbia;1 research center from Hungary,1 training center from Germany,2 SMEs from Turkey,1NGO from Spain. GIRESUN was the coordinator of writing the book on ""Integrating Environmental Considerations into Energy Systems Development"" & partners from universities & research institutes also took part in writing.The knowledge produced in the book chapters was transformed into visual forms by documentaries by AELV. E-learning platform was created by ORKON for blended learning activities.The training materials were tested by each partner by multiplier events & ENERGIAKLUB was responsible from the testing activity.

The proposed project aims to engage public authorities through a competition and to develop a targeted peer-to-peer learning program, to increase the uptake of cross-sectoral integrated urban planning at district level. The consortium is composed of 7 competent partners from countries covering different socio-economic and geographical areas of Europe, 6 of whom will implement all the project activities in their country, while the last partner, including its linked third party, serves as a supporting expert. National competitions for municipalities will enable the matching of forerunner cities in the field of integrated planning with committed cities, based on their excellence as well as outstanding ambitions. This transparent and innovative matching procedure will help to promote the contents of the project and to activate municipalities. The following peer-to-peer learning program, including a total of 42 municipalities will increase the capacities of municipal politicians, technical planning staff and communications representatives to effectively plan, finance, communicate and implement the energy transition. Targeted workshops will address the specific needs of these groups. The partners will draw on their broad experience to enrich, guide and moderate the peer-exchanges. With their increased capacities, 24 committed cities will develop institutionalised Energy Plans for the energy efficient development of one model district in their territory. The program also includes a European exchange dimension, to connect municipal authorities across the EU. The knowledge gained during this program will be disseminated by the consortium to further multiply the number of integrated planning projects for energy efficiency. MULTIPLY will contribute to the expected impact, triggering energy savings of around 177GWh/year and the production of renewable energy of around 80 GWh/year. It will link 42 municipalities across Europe and directly reach an estimated 960 municipal professionals with its learning programs.
