D.7.4 Overview of best practices in market recognition of skills
This Report presents analysis, findings and conclusions based on responses from the online survey carried out in project partner countries. The survey was implemented in two stages, firstly among the project participating organizations (Survey 1), and secondly among the national stakeholders and professionals in the field (Survey 2), in time periods April–June and June-August 2023, respectively. The
questionnaires included topics on sustainable energy skills demand in procurement procedures for building projects, in compliance with national regulatory frameworks.
The survey was used to identify best practices of market recognition and demand of sustainable energy skills on a country level, as commercial or professional procedures applied or prescribed as mandatory and effective in national regulatory frameworks.
Some of the questions were profiled to identify issues such as: consistency, completeness of competences and their transferability (international recognition) The Report on survey responses consists of two thematic parts: 1) an overview of the main features of national regulatory frameworks related to the demand for sustainable energy skills in the procurement procedures in partner countries, and 2) findings on gaps, barriers, needs and opinions for improvement of procedures for market appreciation of skills along with recommendations for share of good practices across countries.
The analysis of survey results provided a basis for development of recommendations for improving demand and recognition of sustainable energy skills, as further elaborated in Report D7.5. It will also be of use and guide for organizations involved in professional development programs.

D.7.2 Guidelines for use of ARISE trainings to gain CPD points
This report provides guidelines for use of ARISE training schemes to gain CPD points, based on the model of transaction of developed learning modules in compliance with international system of recognition, which represents deployment of the project international approach towards market appreciation and implementation of skills.
The guidelines are intended, in the first place, for managing authorities of the national qualification frameworks (to upgrade the national qualifications in AEC sectors, by new competences, up to the new needs of the energy-efficient buildings market), then professional bodies in charge of CPD system of recognition, CPD accredited providers, as well as for individual learners, professionals, managers, investors and public administration. This will contribute to an international share of experience and best practices in recognition of qualifications for sustainable energy skills in construction, with a specific focus on NZEBs (Near Zero Energy Buildings).
For that purpose, a survey and analysis were carried out, of national implementation of CPD systems in the AEC sectors in partner countries.
The analysis confirms another dimension of ARISE feature of transferability of learning achievements and competences, in continuation with previously explored inter-changeability and complementarity of learning outcomes of the analysed learning frameworks developed by previous construction skills projects (refer to Deliverable D3.1).
