3. Impacts and performance indicators
Common indicators
The methodology to be used to quantify the Common Indicators takes into account the emission/energy
saved ensured by recurring to the new skills taught within the courses object of the current project.
The main assumption is that the qualified workers can ensure a major use and a better installation of
environmental and energy efficiency systems and facilities. On the basis of its historical data, Formedil has
trained in the period 2009-2012 more than 500.000 persons within the national network of 104 building
schools. These 104 schools trained only in the year 2012 an amount of 132.126 persons, providing them
370.970 training hours. The blue collars are the 80,53% of the trained workers (419.706 for the period
2009-2012). Assuming this trend is confirmed for the period 2016-2020 and assuming that a minimum
amount (average of 30% per year) of the total beneficiary workers will be enrolled in the training courses of
the building schools network, we expect to train on the innovative contents of the BUILD UP SKILLS I-TOWN
150.000 workers by the year 2020. At the end of the project (2017) we expect to train 2.000 workers after
the ending of the pilot courses and the replication of the courses that will be carried out by the network of
building schools. This amount will increase during the subsequent years reaching a cumulative amount of
150.000 in 2020. According to the ODYSSEE database1
, the average building energy consumption for the
period 2000-2012 is 1,171 toe/dwelling. In Italy the average number of employees in the enterprises of the
building sector is 2,92
. Assuming that the total number of trained workers can be traced back to a number
of businesses/enterprises given by the ratio between total target workers and average number of
employees for the building sector and assuming that each business/enterprise will carry out one
intervention on buildings, we can evaluate the indicators provided in the table below:

subsequent as showed by the table below:

The following graph shows the contribution of the Build Up Skills I-TOWN to the energy requalification
interventions that will be implemented by 2020
The baseline has been calculated using the historical series of the demand of incentives for energy
qualification submitted in Italy from 2007.3
At the end of project Cumulative data to 2020
Energy consumption without interventions (toe) 806,86 60.568,80
Primary energy saving (toe) 261,13 19.603,40
Regarding the number of interventions, it is reasonable to assume that the 3%4
of interventions for plant
replacement will be related to the installation of a RES system. This, added to the number of interventions

interventions for the installation of RES. According to data provided by the IEE project TRAINREBUILD, a
typical indicator unit for the Renewable Energy production triggered is 0,3 toe per intervention per year5
.
At the end of project Cumulative data to 2020
Interventions for RES installation 67 5.028
Renewable Energy production triggered (toe) 20 1.508
With reference to the reduction of GHG emissions, the main assumption is based on the typical energy
requirements of a building which are 2/3 for heating and 1/3 for electricity. The estimation on primary
energy saved at the end of the project and by 2020 has been converted in MWh using the IEA converter
(http://www.iea.org/STATS/unit.asp). The emission factor used for the estimation of GHG reduction related
to the Primary Energy savings has been calculated as weighted average between the average emission
factor for natural gas in Europe (0,237 tCO2eq/MWh) and the Italian emission factor for electricity (0,708
tCO2eq/MWh), it is assumed as a constant for the whole period 2017-2020 and it has been quantified as
0,394 tCO2eq/MWh6
.
The emission factor for the conversion of the Renewable energy production triggered has been chosen
assuming that interventions are based on solar energy for both electricity (0,0667 tCO2eq/MWh) and
heating by combustion (0,028 tCO2eq/MWh)7
. The emission factor has been calculated using the weights
defined above and has been quantified as 0,0409 tCO2/MWh.

The expected GHG reduction related to the primary energy saving is 1.196,55 tCO2eq at the end of the
project and will reach the cumulative value of 89.827,16 tCO2eq in 2020 (on average it means a saving of
22.456 tCO2eq per year during the period 2017-2020).
The figures to 2020 depend on the commitment of the building schools to replicate the BUILD UP SKILLS I-
TOWN courses and/or include their contents in the existing training courses for workers both for initial
training and upgrading.
