TOCEB project transfers content and the pedagogical approach from the innovative and awarded open content platform “e-genius” (www.e-genius.at) to the partner countries Czech Republic, Italy, Lithuania and Poland. The German and English version of the learning materials will also be developed. This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.

The relevant materials of e-genius are being adapted to VET level and to the national contexts with respect to regional construction and geographical types. The main aim of the project is to fulfil the necessary requirements of adaptation according to the EU Directive on the energy performance of buildings adopted in 2010.

The reason for the project is the lack of open content teaching and learning materials within the national VET systems on the topics of energy-efficient and sustainable building. The necessity of this topic is strengthened by the EU Directive of 2010 and various national programs of the project partners. This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.

Project results: Most recent scientific and technical knowledge about energy-efficient buildings and building refurbishment is edited in learning and teaching units based on competency-oriented pedagogical framework and published in the online platform “e-genius” as open content or as open educational resources in different formats for download and as online tests. The open content system allows the use and individual modification for teaching and learning purposes under the creative commons license (no commercial use). The consortium will develop 4 modules of high quality: Energy-efficient Buildings; Basics of Thermal Building Refurbishment; Insulation Materials; Façade Systems.
