The . Abstract Although legal obligations are provided in the National legal framework by transposing the provisions of the 2010 / 31 / EU Directive , the Nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) concept does not seem to be easily applicable yet in Romania . One of the main barriers for this consist in the skills gaps experienced by the building sector , the current qualification courses and training schemes being generally not satisfactory and underdeveloped to face the challenge of effective nZEB implementation . This paper presents the preliminary developments of the Train - to - nZEB project , namely the setting up of Building Knowledge Hubs (BKH) for practical trainings of construction workers and specialists for the design and construction of NZEBs . Building on the results of the BUILD UP Skills initiatives and Passive House principles , the BKHs will provide capacity for conducting practical trainings for on - site professionals , high level specialists and decision makers . To a large extent , the BKH training centres aim to satisfy the existing demand for practical training of trainers and teachers , to provide opportunities for organization of courses to certify builders of NZEBs and to update existing skills . As a major functional goal , BKHs will provide courses for continuing qualification and training for architects , engineers and building managers and other building professionals with the goal to improve the existing classroom - based training schemes with practical trainings using the new developed facilities .
