Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal Net Zero Innovation and Delivery Programme

爱丁堡和东南苏格兰城市地区协议中的六个地方议会——法夫、爱丁堡市、东洛锡安、中洛锡安、苏格兰边境和西洛锡安——都需要最迟在2045年之前交付净零排放住房。作为苏格兰增长最快的地区，每年需要增加40%的新房，而现有的住房很复杂，因为几乎一半的住房都是公寓。为了实现这一目标，他们需要为他们的地区制定当地的热能和能源效率战略（LHEES）。为了改造公共和私人住房，以实现净零的目标，爱丁堡和苏格兰东南部需要训练有素的劳动力，他们具备家庭改造和新住宅能源效率的技能和能力。该地区还必须利用投资零排放供热的机会，发展包容性的高技能制造业劳动力，以满足净零住房的需求。当前和未来的建筑劳动力跨越苏格兰东南部地方当局的边界，因此所有议会与政府、行业、城市地区交易组织、学院和大学以及其他利益相关者合作，加快未来的技能能力和净零住房的能力是有意义的。通过拨款任命零净创新和交付官员，并对零净住房的技能障碍进行可行性研究，该计划将帮助该地区实现其LHEES的雄心壮志，实现零净。爱丁堡和东南苏格兰城市区域零净创新和交付官员将最大限度地提高技能交付，避免重复努力，以创建一个共同的区域方法来满足新技能发展培训需求。这种实现住房劳动力净零技能的泛区域合作方法将导致新的培训课程，并使更多不同的人选择在该地区从事高技能、高收入的建筑工作。它将利用来自行业和其他资助者的额外支持，以确保资金在正确的时间花在正确的技能培训上，它将连接区域学院和大学，以嵌入区域净零技能加速器中心。

The six councils in the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal - Fife, City of Edinburgh, East Lothian, Midlothian, Scottish Borders, and West Lothian - all need to deliver net zero homes by 2045 at the latest. As the fastest growing region in Scotland, a 40% increase in new homes is needed every year, and existing housing is complex, as almost half of all homes are flats. To this aim, they are required to produce Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies (LHEES) for their areas.To transform both public and private housing to meet net zero ambitions, Edinburgh and South East Scotland needs a well-trained workforce with the skills and capabilities for domestic retrofit and energy efficiency in new homes. The region also must take advantage of the opportunities in investing in zero emissions heat supply by developing an inclusive high-skilled manufacturing workforce, to meet the demands of net zero housing.The current and future construction workforce crosses South East Scotland local authority boundaries, so it makes sense for all councils to work together with government, industry, City Region Deal organisations, colleges and universities, and other stakeholders to accelerate future skills capacity and capabilities for net zero housing. With funding to appoint a Net Zero Innovation and Delivery Officer and to run feasibility studies on the skills barriers for net zero housing, this programme will help the region meet the ambitions of their LHEES and achieve net zero..The Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Net Zero Innovation & Delivery Officer will maximise upskilling delivery and avoid duplication of effort to create a common regional approach to new skills development training needs.This pan-regional, collaborative approach to net zero housing workforce skills will lead to new training courses and more and diverse people choosing to work in highly skilled, high paid construction roles in the region. It will leverage added support from industry and other funders, to make sure money is spent on the right skills training at the right time, and it will link across regional colleges and universities to embed a regional Net Zero Skills Accelerator Hub.
