V-Educa 2

Vocational Education 2 is an educational project on nearly zero energy buildings (NZEB). The main objective of the project is to smooth transition from standard and often energy poor construction to nZEB standard supported by EU and cross-border countries.

Specific, objectives are:

  1. To upgrade university curriculums and educational processes in the field of construction
  2. To educate designers and workers that are employable and competent to respond to modern world construction needs
  3. To raise awareness on nZEB as inevitable standard for both sectors, public and private.


Main project activities include:

  • Analysis of energy efficient construction in the cross-border area
  • Case study of „the best“ energy efficient construction project on each side of the border
  • Development of curriculum and nZEB content for summer school
  • Summer school
  • Study tours
  • Practical education of students
  • Guide to cost-optimum nZEB construction


Besides technical activities project includes project management as well as promotion and publicity.
