DiVIRTUE
Development of Training Schemes with Application of Virtual Reality towards Implementation of Decarbonized New and Existing Buildings
Time Period: August 2024 – July 2027
EU Contribution: 1.249.057 €
Project description
DiVIRTUE aims at creating new construction sector capacities in five countries via digitalization of existing and new training schemes for students and construction professionals. This will be achieved through the development of innovative construction skills’ training materials with application of Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technologies. The training schemes will be created in English and the five national languages for at least eight selected topics based on the training needs related to the specific targeted professions, targeting gaps, and deficiencies identified in the national BUILD UP Skills qualification roadmaps.
Our contribution
Our laboratory is involved in providing educational material for the development of VR/AR material, as well as in the utilization of this developed material for the training of engineers who design energy-efficient buildings, the technicials who will implement these solutions, and the university and high school students, aiming on fostering a new culture of high-quality and effective energy retrofitting solutions in buildings.
