Innovret

Innovative Online Vocational Training of Renewable Energy Technologies

The INNOVRET project aims to combine innovative online learning approaches, proven and tested pedagogical models, industry validated content and a state of the art fully integrated, interactive energy laboratory to assure deep penetration of high quality industry relevant, case study rich content to address the training and upskilling needs of geographically dispersed learners throughout Europe, thereby training highly qualified heat pump system maintainers and installers. The accessibility and flexibility of the online energy laboratory will ensure a broader penetration into the targeted European marketplace with the potential for certifying sufficient heat pump maintenance personnel and installers to meet predicted demands.

Facts & Figures

Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are a critical component of achieving sustainable growth in the ‘Europe 2020’ strategy (20% less greenhouse gas emissions, 20% renewables in final energy consumption and 20% increase in energy efficiency) which has been adopted by all EU countries
Reduction in CO2 Emissions
Heat pumps currently cut CO2 emissions by 6% of global emissions (1.2 billion tonnes) – one of the largest that a single technology can offer. This will increase in the near future.
