Berlin has set itself the goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2045 at the latest, and the “Berlin Energy and Climate Protection Program” (BEK) with its numerous measures is the central implementation instrument of Berlin’s energy and climate protection policy to achieve this goal. A key obstacle to the further expansion of climate-relevant technologies in Berlin’s buildings and other infrastructure has been identified as the lack of skilled workers in the skilled trades. This is the starting point for the feasibility study for a so-called “KlimaWerkstatt@Berlin”, which ideas into energy is implementing together with the Berlin guilds for the electrical and HVAC trades and with funding from the Berlin Senate Administration. The study analyzes the technical and economic feasibility of building a new training center for the recruitment and qualification of skilled workers in the Berlin trades on a site belonging to the Berlin electrical guild.
