1 Smart Metering & Home Automation Technologies Re-Training for Electricians

2 Project objectives The adoption of energy efficiency measures is shifting the building installation industry towards green technologies bringing changes on workplace requirements in training. The SMARTEL project aims to increase the quality of VET provision for electricians in order to: match electricians competence and skills with Smart Metering and Home Automation needs promote employability and mobility within the sector make available online educational resources including new and validated training materials, guidelines, etc.

3 Transnational Partnership

4 VET learning outcomes Data for current and future training requirements for up-skilling electricians in Smart Metering and Home Automation collected by country partners, analysed and systemised for the aims of the elaboration of the learning units. Six separate Learning Units comprise a unique set of learning outcomes translated in the partners country languages. These include knowledge, skills and competences for EE installations, programming of energy saving electrical devices, home automation protocols, etc. and are ready for use by all VET providers in the sector.

5 Learning Unit 1 What is a home automation? Here trainees will learn about: Areas of application of the home automation Internet and remote access to the system Applications of the actuators in domotic installations What is node, digital and analog signals etc. Data Bus System Home automation in different rooms Integration with other housing services

6 Learning Unit 2 Energy Control The solved issues here are: HVAC systems management and adaptation of the room temperature How to save water, fuel, electricity, etc. by home automation Manage the disconnection of non-priority circuits Maintenance of the energy control systems Energy savings from lightening Water and/or gas leaks detections etc.

7 Learning Unit 3 Networks of smart controlling systems The topic includes: Types of networks personal networks, wireless networks for remote distance etc. Topologies of networks Network transmission media Fiber-optic cables Wireless media Communication models Cloud and Fog Computing Intelligent devices networks IoT and KNX protocols, EnOcean networks etc.

8 Learning Unit 4 Sensors and Actuators This unit is about: Types of sensors digital, analog, magnetic Manual control sensors pushbuttons and switches Detectors for smoke, heat, natural gas, flood, brightness etc. Room thermostats Connection of sensors to the domotic node inputs etc. Dimmers

9 Learning Unit 5 Programming and installation of smart devices The content of the unit includes: Software systems in the automation of buildings How to understand the programming of building automation The software and smart device communication adapters for buildings Communication standards for automated buildings Programming in traditional languages Evaluation of the system being automated Individual and centralized control algorithms etc. Block programming

10 Learning Unit 6 User interface for building control The topic includes: Introduction, types and scalability of the user interface User interface software and WEB networks User Interface visual and control elements Selection of the measurement and controlling devices according to the type of communication; Data collection and storage, trend registration, interpretation and transfer to the user interface; High level interfaces and their integration with other building systems Distributed Building Control Networks Alarms and Alarm Management Upgrades and Retrofits

11 Upcoming Activities, Outputs and Events Open Education Resources and assessment tools for Smart Metering and Home Automation technologies SMARTEL Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in Smart Metering and Home Automation systems and services for electricians Validation, endorsement and mutual recognition of the SMARTEL units of learning outcomes by field stakeholders 2 demonstration workshops in Lithuania and Spain 3 national information days in France, Greece and Bulgaria Direct campaigns

12 Next activity MOOC Massive Open Online Course The MOOC will be based on the 6 learning units and assessment tools produced by the partnership, contextualized resources and assessment materials and will host the Open Educational Resources for multiplication, contextualization and exploitation by VET providers. Additional learning materials will be developed in all 6 partners languages as for example: videos, work tasks, mechanisms for partnership and cooperation. A 3-week pilot session of the course will take place within the year, for interaction with peers and facilitators and assessment of the training materials.
