EGCN Training Tools EGCN Training Tools

The EGCN Training Tools are developed in connection to EGCN project work in relation to EGCN conferences and local training courses in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Greece, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania, and Hungary with a main purpose to disseminate Best Practice RUE & RES technologies for Sustainable Housing and Energy Supply Systems.

The EGCN Training Tools for sustainable urban housing are targeting key players for sustainable urban housing:

City authority departments and politicians being responsible of urban development, energy supply and building approvals etc.
Builders, Housing Associations, architects, engineers, technicians etc. implementing building projects
Building owners, tenants, building maintenance managers, students, schools, institutions etc. representing end users
Technology manufacturers, technology suppliers, consultants etc.

EGCN Training Tools comprises recommendations, guidelines and practical tools to support implementing the process of Sustainable Urban Housing Management in the home town of key players being trained.

European Green City approach to training – a working model
- Sustainable Urban Management approach:

  1. Highlight the demonstration project as a way of improving the implementation of similar projects.
  2. Monitor energy, environmental and economic effects into easy accessible results.
  3. Provide information to citizens, companies, employees and managers within involved public and private departments/companies, politicians. Awareness is the first crucial step towards participation, learning, education, and training - which then produces capacity building and institutional strengthening for involved partners.
  4. Involved citizens, politicians, city administration departments etc. will use experiences from the demonstration project to further adjust/develop objectives, strategies, action plans, actual projects and guidelines for the actual project area - and thus improve sustainable urban management.
