Last September marked the commencement of an exciting adventure as the consortium members of the nZEBRA project gathered in the picturesque city of Halmstad, Sweden.  

The kick off meeting, expertly organised by the project coordinator, Halmstad University, served as a pivotal moment for the consortium. Over the course of two days, fruitful discussions ensued as the team delved into the intricacies of the project work plan, fostering a shared vision for the journey ahead.  

What is nZEBRA All About?  

nZEBRA, short for "Intensive blended course in Climate Neutral Buildings to address nZEB regulation and complex behavior of buildings," is a 36-month project co-funded by the European Erasmus+ Programme, boasting a budget of €400,000 and a consortium of six partners.  

At its core, nZEBRA aims to develop an intensive blended course focusing on Climate Neutral Buildings using micro-credentials. The primary objective is to enhance the skills of Higher Education Institution (HEI) students in architecture, civil, and energy engineering. By equipping them with the expertise needed to design and maintain nZEB structures, the project aims to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals while contributing to global efforts to combat climate change.  

What Comes Next?  

In the initial months of the project, the focus will be on several key tasks:  

  • Understanding the educational and upskilling needs and challenges of industry professionals and master students to empower them to implement nZEB solutions.
  • Developing the course syllabus and pedagogical approach based on the needs analysis and comprehension of the target groups.  
  • Designing the overall assessment strategy for students' successful completion of the course and certification.  
  • Creating the nZEBRA methodological framework.
