Trainings

The participants of the project will be chosen among students using questionnaires, among staff and teachers using interviews. Project managers will be responsible for this activity. This training activity will be carried by the lead and partner organisations and target group from each partner country will participate in this higher education course. Training activity will be held in Technical University of Kosice for 3 days. Participants from all project partners will join this training. Target group of this activity will be /academics/lecturers from each partner university and experts from state and public administration, organizations focused on environment protection, architects, designers and so on.

• Hi-EduCarbon training Nr1 - Determining the greenhouse gas emissions and removals on the level of product - building materials and building services

• Hi-EduCarbon training Nr2 - Determining the greenhouse gas emissions and removals on the level of product - structures and building

Training will be provided by experts involved in the project on a given topic from each participating university. The training will be provided by employees at universities, state and public administration, architects and other professionals who want to raise awareness in general in the field of creating a carbon-neutral environment and gain experience in determining greenhouse gas emissions and removals for construction and other products and services.
Two days will focus on theoretical knowledge, current state of knowledge, legislative and normative regulations and requirements. The third day will be devoted to the practical calculation of greenhouse gas emissions for the selected product. The aim and result of the activity is to acquire knowledge and skills in determining greenhouse gas emissions and removals.

Case studies

The people from the project team will prepare several case studies in order to explain how to determine greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and their removals on the l evel of products (building materials and structures, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems) and organizations (operation of buildings).

Guidebook

A handbook how to determine greenhouse gas emissions and removals on the level of products and organizations.​Guide will be prepared in English and each partner will be responsible for translation of the guide to their country's language.
Determination of the greenhouse gas emissions and removals on the level of products will be performed on the basis of the standard ISO 14067: 2018 Greenhouse gases - Carbon footprint of products - Requirements and guidelines. This document is also based on principles, requirements and guidelines identified in existing International Standards on life cycle assessment (LCA), ISO 14040 and ISO 14044.
Determination of the greenhouse gas emissions and removals on the level of organization will be performed on the basis of the standard ISO 14064-1:2018 Greenhouse gases. Part 1: Specification with guidance at the organization level for quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals.
The determination of greenhouse gas emissions is one of the key factors and contributes significantly to the sustainability of the construction and operation of buildings. Therefore, the guidebook is not only for university teachers, staff, but also for environmental organizations, equipment manufacturers, building engineers, architects and commercial property investors.
