Energie Booster

The Project implements a qualification and information offensive for the use of renewable energies in building technology in Overijssel, NRW and Lower Saxony. The target groups are craftsmen and planners from the fields of sanitary, heating and air conditioning, refrigeration and electrical engineering. Course modules are developed and carried out on 12 innovation topics. The course modules are being tested, consolidated as face-to-face and online events and multiplied at other educational institutions. SMEs are also supported by 2 binational specialist conferences and a binational exchange forum with excursions to open up to the topics and the requirements for their operation for the success of the energy transition. This also happens by publications and the development of a technically informative website. The specialists in the industry will be introduced to the new technologies in the field of renewable energies through further training and will be enabled to install them. This involves the installation of heat pumps and photovoltaic systems as a central technological leap for the energy transition, as well as the sector coupling of building services and e-mobility, innovative technologies such as smart homes, innovative combined heat and power generation, alternative energy sources such as green hydrogen and biogas. The project was designed as a cross-border German-Dutch Interreg project because this cooperation can be expected to result in a professional plus due to different technical levels of development and also contributes to structural improvement and cross-border work in the Euregio. The issues are equally relevant on both sides of the border. In both countries, renewables have not yet found their way into vocational training.
