2nd Transnational Meeting – April 2021
The 2nd Transnational Meeting of the RenovUp project was held online on April 20th and 26th, 2021.
Each national partner finished, in March 2021, its national desk research related to technical, organisational and normative specificities of building renovation sites which affect the evolution of the functions of site managers and team leaders on these sites. Each national desk research outputs were validated, in March and April 2021, through national advisory/focus groups, and Pedmede achieved the first version of the transnational consolidation report.
The main conclusions of this first transnational consolidation version are:
- Despite national specificities, building renovation sites can be identified in each partner country as a “set of building works intended to renovate, modify or repair a building structure”;
- National legislative frameworks and policies related to renovation of buildings in all the partner countries focus predominantly on energy savings, thermal insulation, climate plans, anti-seismic interventions, safety and habitability;
- Definition of Site Managers and Team Leader is quite common in the partner countries, even if national specificities exist. The partners highlighted that sometimes the two roles coincide with the same person who is often the owner if the company is small.
It also drew the following recommendations:
- More individualized and grounded in work-based learning training paths;
- Creating ad hoc courses where hours of practical training and on-the-job training are favored;
- Providing recognizable certificates.
