Are you looking for a career direction or a profession to change to? What if you were to look at the energy renovation of buildings? The building sector is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases, responsible for 27% of emissions each year. With the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, energy efficiency and energy renovation of buildings is therefore a must. France plans to renovate 35 million buildings and create 160,000 green jobs in the construction sector by 2030.
The challenges of the building sector
In France, there are 5.2 million thermal flaws, according to the ONRE (National Observatory of Energy Renovation): main residences classified F or G in the DPE. The first challenge is to renovate the energy efficiency of old homes and buildings to reduce the energy bill of households, improve their indoor comfort and reduce the environmental impact.
In addition, there are issues of energy efficiency in new construction to make the building sector more ecological. New materials and new construction methods must be put in place to keep up with this movement.
This is a promising sector, rich in professional opportunities and supported by the government, which grants numerous aids for individuals. Within the framework of the RE2020 environmental regulation, for example, 5 billion euros are dedicated to energy renovation each year.
To train professionals in the sector to these new practices and newcomers seeking to retrain in this field, various training courses exist. Here are, for example, 3 partner trainings...
