It is home to the latest equipment that will help prepare today’s workforce for the opportunities and challenges presented by the global transition to a carbon-neutral economy.

The Academy hosts several real-world work environments, including a model house to show how existing homes can be entirely powered by green technology. The onsite Low Energy Smart Home includes state-of-the-art automated technology as well as heat recovery and cooling systems that demonstrate how responsive they can be.

With an increased uptake in green technology like ground source heat pumps, demand is growing for people with the necessary skills to install, repair and maintain these facilities. The Green Skills Academy offers several courses and can train up to 100 learners per day on-site.
