Our project is designed to generate meaningful results that support both educational advancement and environmental sustainability. Through hands-on learning, cross-border collaboration, and real-world application, we aim to equip young people with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in a greener future.

We anticipate the following key outcomes:

• Creation of didactic resources to update knowledge on energy efficiency and building renovation.
• Enhanced capacity and knowledge of students in energy efficiency and sustainable building.
• Renovation of one building to achieve energy efficiency through comprehensive rehabilitation.
• Establishment of a strong transnational partnership for learning and cooperation projects.
• Production of a technical report detailing the renovation process.

To support these efforts, we have developed a comprehensive SustainEBuild Booklet that brings together good practices, baseline regulations from partner countries, and a collection of didactic materials. You can access it here:

We have put together a comprehensive Technical Report that documents the complete project process, from initial learning and planning to the final renovations and results. Inside, you will find the actual interior and exterior intervention plans developed collaboratively by our students during their mobility week in Belgium. The report also details the initial state of the renovated building, our methods for assessing its energy efficiency, and our main conclusions. We designed this report to serve as a reference resource and a practical case study that can be replicated by other VET centres and organizations across Europe. Take a look here:

At the heart of the Sustain EBuild project is the hands-on renovation of an existing building in Spain. We wanted our students to put energy efficiency theory directly into practice! Using their collaborative designs, vocational students from our partner schools teamed up during a mobility week to carry out real, physical interventions together.

Although all the in-depth data, building assessments, and final energy efficiency results are compiled in our Technical Report, if you are specifically interested in the building itself and the physical work being done, you can take a look right here.

These outcomes are designed to foster a skilled workforce capable of supporting the European Green Deal objectives. Renovating existing buildings not only reduces energy bills and emissions but also brings numerous social, environmental, and economic benefits. These include healthier living conditions, greener cities, reduced pressure on greenfield sites, and increased building resilience. The construction sector, largely composed of local businesses, stands to gain significantly from this intervention, potentially renovating 35 million buildings and creating up to 160,000 green jobs by 2030.

By improving energy efficiency in buildings, we help address energy poverty and sustainability. Equipping students with the skills necessary for the green transition ensures they are prepared for the modern, green workplace.
