Building and Energy Systems and Technologies in Renewable Energy Sources Update and Linked Training (BEST RESULT)

The BEST RESULT project was developed by actors already involved in training and dissemination activities related to renewable energy sources technologies. It aimed to raise awareness and to enhance skills among key actors in the building and energy sector on the supply side like installers, technicians, professionals, architects, planners, retailers etc.)with regard to renewable energies. This was achieved through a range of training and information measures (specialization courses, info-desks, workshops, website, etc.). At the same time, the project contributed to boost also the demand side (i.e. end consumers) for small scale renewable applications (e.g. by means of guidelines, seminars, publications, website, etc.). The project activities were based on a thorough analysis of barriers to the deployment of small-scale renewables appliances (e.g. surveys and studies). The project partners are sharing a common methodology, which however is adapted to the specific regional/local needs and conditions.
