GeTinVET - Sustainable Matrix (Workpackage 3)
Objectives in detail:
1. to increase sustainability competences for employees in the field of Building Service Engineering and, associated with this, to increase awareness of sustainable action in general (appropriate, sustainable action at work, but also lifestyle and general behaviour).
2. to maximise the use and exploitation of the results of the work package through a simple and clear recording of sustainability competences in the field of Building Service Engineering.
3. to improve the transparency of sustainability competences in the field of building Service Engineering and to clarify the terms used in this context in a way that is understandable throughout Europe.
4. to make the best possible use of this system in connection with work package 2 for the description of interdisciplinary learning modules (see work package 5).
5. enhancing the sustainable competitiveness of the EU through the systematic development of sustainability competences in the field of Building Service Engineering.
What were the main results of this work package?
1) A questionnaire: The questionnaire comprised a total of 40 questions and three main sections. The first part of the questionnaire contained general questions about the companies participating in the survey. The second part comprised general questions on the topic of sustainability, and the third part consisted of questions relating to core building services engineering work processes. A total of 119 companies from the participating partner countries took part in the survey. The majority of respondents are active in the areas of repair and maintenance (32%), installation of technical building equipment (22%) and technical building management (16%). The majority of respondents focus on electrical installation and building automation (31%) as well as heating, cooling and ventilation systems and sanitation (32%). 97% of respondents consider sustainability to be very important or important. 92% of respondents considered it very important and important to promote interdisciplinary cooperation in order to address sustainability challenges in the field of building service engineering.

3) The main objective of this work package was to create a second matrix for sustainability competence. This matrix shows the dimensions of sustainable thinking and action for the entire field of building systems technology. The basic structure of the competence matrix is also based on the VQTS model and shows areas of competence relevant to sustainable action and thinking in building service enginnering along the horizontal axis. The areas of competence increase in complexity and are described in more detail within the matrix.
