Scope and Objectives :

Cultural buildings and human behavior are linked to environmental issues such as climate change and energy supply. Surpassing the fear of people working in/using cultural buildings linked to the preservation of their value and history is a key element for the work of construction professionals and the overall impact of Renovation wave and the European Climate change strategies.

Within the above context, “Culture Lights” aims at

shaping the knowledge of both Blue-collar and White-collar construction professionals working/about to work in renovation activities of cultural buildings with a specific focus on the design and installation of sustainable lighting systems while also preserving the cultural value of the buildings (Objective 1).
enhancing the interaction between renovation construction professionals and cultural building employees and users (Objective 2),
encouraging sustainable behaviors and lifestyles via the exchange of ideas and views on sustainable conservation of the buildings and energy efficiency strategies (Objective 3).

Expected Results :

A study presenting the interaction activities between construction and lighting professionals with cultural building users about renovation, sustainable lightning, cultural value and conservation, aiming to enhance the relation between designers and users about the re-use of cultural built environment
2 VET curricula for the development of sustainable lighting systems in cultural buildings: one for blue-collar & one for white-collar workers building knowledge on the use of artificial and natural lighting in cultural buildings
R3. Sustainable lighting projects at local level by the trained white-collar professionals
R4. Policy recommendations on the effective use of renovation wave strategies and their impact on cultural buildings
