Building Smart International and net-UBIEP project - Bologna (Italy)
On 21 and 22 November 2019, Digital & BIM Italy will be held at the Bologna Exhibition Center, an opportunity for operators in the construction sector to take stock and discover the latest news on innovation and digitalisation of the built environment.
There will be training and information meetings on the application of the BIM methodology to increase the energy performance of buildings. To achieve this goal it is important that all professionals and technicians working in the building supply chain must be aware of their role.
It will be an opportunity to present sector operators and stakeholders with the important result achieved by the Net-Ubiep project partners with the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding with BuildingSMART International for the recognition of BSI individual qualification.

Signed Memorandum of Understanding between BsI - Net Ubiep
In the end of the net-UBIEP project an important result was achieved, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Building Smart International and the net-UBIEP project which establishes the international recognition of the qualification identified by the working group within the partnership. The qualification developed by net-UBIEP is proposed by buildingSMART International as a BIM qualification and energy performance of buildings, so that all the countries of the world will be able to proposed it through their own national chapters.
The news was given during the International Standards Summit, Beijing 28-31 october 2019.
Brussels project meeting 21-22 october
The project meeting was held in Brussels ENEA's offices, whit the participation at works of the European Officer, as well as the various partners represented by the Consortium Countries that introduced the capitalization strategies to exploit the results produced into the Net Ubiep project with consequent effects in its own country in terms of greater diffusion of the BIM culture and its introduction into the construction process in order to guarantee a better energy performance of the buildings.
EU Sustainable energy week 18-20 june Brussels
EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW), the annual flagship event organised by the European Commission, brings together public authorities, private companies, NGOs and consumers to promote initiatives to save energy and move towards renewables for clean, secure and efficient power. In 2019, activities are focused around the theme ‘Shaping Europe’s Energy Future’. Now in its 14th year, EUSEW is bigger and livelier than ever with over 90 policy sessions, more than 4,000 registered participants, 380 speakers and 100+ unique networking opportunities.
The Net-Ubiep project participates "EU Sustainable energy week" with some of its partners, in progress in Brussels from 18 to 20 June.

BIMalliance - The Alliance of BIMcert, BIMplement, Net-UBIEP and BIMEET
The four BIM projects BIMcert, BIMplement, Net-UBIEP and BIMEET are collaborating under the title BIMalliance to explore areas of mutual opportunity and to minimise the energy footprint in construction.
More than 50 engineers and architects attend the training workshop in BIM and nZEB, from Net-Ubiep and Construye 2020+
More than 50 construction sector professionals met today at the Instituto Eduardo Torroja de Ciencias de la Construcción of the CSIC (IETCC-CSIC) to attend the training workshop on BIM and Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB), which the organisation organises in collaboration with Fundación Laboral de la Construction.
The conference, which is part of the training and dissemination activities of Net-UBIEP and Construye 2020+ project, initiatives that belong to the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and in which both Spanish organisations participate, has been aimed at engineers and architects with the aim of updating and complementing their knowledge in new methodologies and construction systems design.
The attendees included representatives of construction companies and business associations; public bodies and administrations; professional education and training centres, as well as trainers from the sector; professional associations in energy efficiency; technicians, consultants and specialists in energy efficiency, renewable energy systems and nZEB; and researchers specialised in green competences, BIM methodology and Lean Construction, who received at the end of the session access to a free 6 hours course on BIM, which is provided by Fundación Laboral de la Construcción and complements the training workshop.
Synergies between innovative European initiatives
Net-UBIEP and Construye 2020+, belonging to the "Safe, Clean and Efficient Energy" work package of the Horizon 2020 programme, have been presented by both Spanish partners. Javier González, head of International Projects at Fundación Laboral de la Construcción, and José Antonio Tenorio, head scientist at the IETCC-CSIC, took advantage of the technical space of the conference to disseminate the progress of both projects to a specialised audience.
For its part, Net-UBIEP aims to improve the energy performance of buildings through the use of BIM during the life cycle of construction, which simulates the energy performance of buildings using various materials and components.
Related with the Construye 2020+ objective, the project aims to take a further step towards an efficient construction industry, as well as the use of sustainable and competitive energy through the definition and development of an updated training and accreditation scheme for professionals in green competencies. The initiative is part of the Build Up Skills initiative, and the projects Build Up Skills Spain (2011-2013) and Build Up Skills Spain "Construye 2020" (2013-2016), both led by Fundación Laboral de la Construcción.
Information materials for technicians
The deliverable on information materials for technicians has been published. The use of BIM to improve the energy performance of buildings is described for each phase of the building life from the preliminary design till the construction, management and use.
The technicians will learn how important is their role during the installations to complete the BIM model "as it is" for operational & maintenance of the buildings.
They will also learn the importance of the information provided during the installation, to maintain the energy performance of the building during its usage.

Published information materials for owners
The deliverable on information materials for owners and tenants has been published. The use of BIM to improve the energy performance of buildings is described for each phase of the building life from the preliminary design till the construction, management and use.
The owners and tenants will understand why it is so important to define the requirements for the management & maintenance since the conceptual design. They will also learn the importance of a good building information management (BIM) for improving the energy performance of the building during the usage.

Published the information materials for Professionals
The deliverable on information materials for professionals has been published. The use of BIM to improve the energy performance of buildings is described for each phase of the building life from the preliminary design till the construction, management and use.
The professionals will find basic information on BIM and the description of the main competences necessary to manage the BIM model for improving the energy performance of the building in any phase, from the conceptual design till the end of the life cycle of the building.
