This document summarizes the BIMcert project, which aims to develop a framework for recognizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) skills across Europe. The project is led by Belfast Metropolitan College in partnership with higher education institutions. It seeks to improve sustainability in construction through BIM training, engage industry stakeholders, and create clear career pathways for skills development. If successful, BIMcert would establish a pan-European system of micro-accreditations for specialized BIM knowledge and an adaptable curriculum to help workers gain skills for energy efficiency and sustainability in construction.

21. BIMcert Overview BIMcert Methodology
Modules are adaptable to each learner’s
needs and career pathways.
Leaners can pick the micro
accreditations that suit them.
Allow learner to gain skills required for
their own professional needs, combine
them to obtain either pre-established
qualification or an unique “BIM
Passport” skillset recognised via
BIMcert.
Several micro accreditations
(covering specific knowledge and skills).
Flexibility to build your
own personalised
skillset.
Not a linear progression.
Bite sized micro accreditation.

Guidance & recommendations for further development
Improved energy performance across the Construction Industry is a key driver for Horizon 2020. To support the development and implementation of this we need to ensure the correct knowledge, skills and competencies within the sector to meet the new Energy Requirements Legislation.

Improved energy performance across the Construction Industry is a key driver for Horizon 2020. To support the development and implementation of this we need to ensure the correct knowledge, skills and competencies within the sector to meet the new Energy Requirements Legislation.
The four BIM projects BIMcert, BIMplement, Net-UBIEP and BIMEET are collaborating under BIMalliance to explore areas of mutual opportunity and to minimise the energy footprint in construction.
Plan –Energy savings targeted during the design phase –
Potential Energy
Design –Energy savings designed utilised to achieve energy optimization Embedded Energy
Build - Energy savings achieved through the building operation stage – Operational Energy
Operate – Energy savings through in-use building performance management. Sustainable Energy
Within Europe – absolute need for coordination within Construction Industry to enhance collaboration, training and upskilling.
1. Europe requires a more coordinated approach in order to enhance collaboration and other skills in the industry. This will, in turn, help reduce waste, reduce inefficiencies in the all supply chain, and improve coordination and management, while incorporating better, more suitable and more sustainable design choices and decision making as required by the EE14 Call
BIM is seen as one of the core multidisciplinary, collaborative processes that can achieve this, while ensuring a more sustainable future built environment.
2. Governments globally have identified Building Information Modelling (BIM) as one of the core multidisciplinary, collaborative processes that enables creation and control of the Built Environment for better conservation of materials and resultant lower embedded and ongoing energy consumption (delivery of at least 30% reduction in carbon, while becoming an economic booster by help to achieve savings in cost, time and exports)
The BIMcert Project will certainly contribute to this need.
3. BIMcert is the development of a series of training interventions using digital technology and improved blended techniques to support, enhance and maximise the impact of energy efficient skills at all operational levels within the modern construction industry.
BIMCERT through the use of its innovative Strategic Compass will The Core Application Partners (CAP) supported by the Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) and the Industrial Advisory Panel (IAP) will work in unison ensuring coherent strategic direction and delivery continually meets industry needs. The output from the strategy compass will ensure embedding BIM skills within construction, targeting the entire design chain, material life cycles, energy production/consumption and sustainability.
BIMcert is a flexible programme that will provide the training and qualification scheme for the BIM skills needed to support sustainable energy efficient construction.
BIMcert model content will cover:
BIM Ready
BIM Basics and principles
Digital Skills and Information Management
Management and Collaboration
Modelling
Objects
