Abstract: The EU-funded project REVERTER aims to contribute to the reduction of energy poverty and improvement of quality of life of people in Europe by providing homeowners, tenants and landlords with comprehensive information and realistic building renovation solutions. Eight specific objectives are set in the project description, some of which aim at capacity building and knowledge sharing by developing dedicated training programs and materials for different target groups, i.e., One-stop shop (OSS) personnel, REVERTER Ambassadors (RAs) and vulnerable households. REVERTER will implement community engagement campaigns, trainings and will advise the identified households on improvement of their levels of comfort or reduction of energy consumption by low-cost measures. More specifically, the objective of Task 3.4. Setting up REVERTER Ambassadors and OSS personnel training programme is to establish training programs and related materials for the Energy Ambassadors and the personnel of the pilot OSSs. The training will focus on issues such as: social inclusion; no-or low-cost measures to cope with EP; simple technical issues of energy saving in households; energy financing mechanisms and innovative tools, etc.; establishment and operation of OSS. The training program of the REVERTER project is directed to Energy Ambassadors and OSS personnel, who will advise energy-poor and vulnerable households on simple technical issues of energy saving in the home, retrofitting practices, benefits of retrofitting, energy financing mechanisms, and innovative tools, etc.
