Competences of engineers and workers in the architecture, engineering & construction industry for delivering nearly zero-energy buildings

By 31 December 2020, all new buildings in the European Union, and therefore in Croatia, should be Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (NZEB). A question which arises is: are the engineers and workers in the Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) industry well prepared for delivering such a solution? Information loss and lack of collaboration bring potential problems in the construction phase, so quality of final product (NZEB) drops drastically. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a good solution for the problems described, since it reduces information loss in the building life cycle (design, construction, operation & maintenance, demolition) and increases collaboration between stakeholders, as they need to work with the same information model. The building should also be a good representative of the design itself, so it should be built as correctly as possible. The article shows in what way the Horizon 2020 Fit- to-NZEB and Net-UBIEP projects can be used to solve lack of competences for building NZEB and problems of BIM implementation in the AEC industry in Croatia. The Net-UBIEP project aims to develop schemes for BIM usage in increasing building energy performance (validation through surveys), while project Fit-to-NZEB aims to develop competences for deep energy retrofit through education at EQF levels 3-7.
