Sofia Energy Centre is partner in BUSHROSSs Project (Building Up Skills for Home Renovation One-Stop-Shops), which started from 1 September 2024. The project aims at increase of capacities and skills of One-Stop-Shops for residential building renovation. BUSHROSSs will build up skills of relevant bodies (national, regional and local authorities, municipalities, energy agencies, etc.). for the successful establishment and operation of OSSs to assist homeowners during the entire process of residential building energy refurbishment. This will be achieved through the development of qualification and upskilling schemes and their pilot testing via delivering of training courses to relevant stakeholders, relevant to OSS establishment and operation, including “training of trainers” activities. The project has been co-funded by LIFE+ Programme of EU.

NS4nZEBs – New Skills for near Zero Energy Buildings

The main objective of the project NS4nZEBs is to increase the number of skilled building professionals in the fields of PVs, smart electrical systems, heat pumps and energy storage including small-scale applications for production of hydrogen in buildings at all levels of the building design, operation and maintenance value chain. This will lead to an increased application of new energy efficient and RES technologies that will support building capacity, stimulating investments and supporting implementation of policies focused on energy efficiency and small-scale renewables.
