DASBE

DASBE DASBE is a hub for upskilling in the construction sector. BIM Cert, BIMZeED etc.

The Digital Academy for Sustainable Built Environment (DASBE) project, funded under the HEA Human Capital Initiative (HCI) will address the significant changes occurring in the sector as a result of EU and national policies, regulations, green construction, circular economy and digital skills. The project provides rapid design, development and deployment of education and training programmes to con

struction workers and professionals using a wide variety of on-line, blended and face to face approaches. The DASBE platform will focus initially on existing programmes, available in the partner institutions, while also using resources from on-ongoing R&D projects e.g. The DASBE Consortium includes LIT, AIT, GMIT, the Tipperary Energy Agency and Irish Green Building Council (IGBC). The consortium will be a hub for providing upskilling, capacity building and education to the building sector. Objectives and aims of the project:

* Provide a Digital Platform to enable learners to undertake programmes ranging from micro-accreditation (including digital badges), special purpose awards (Certificates), and minor and major awards focusing on specific topics and requirements in the sector.

* Provide programmes from Level 6 to Level 9 on the National Framework of Qualifications.

* Enable partners to collaborate on the provision of innovative and integrated programmes, building on best practice from across their organisations.

* To build on partnerโ€™s previous work, utilise capacity and synergies between past and ongoing research work.

* Enable access to international research drawn from DASBE network of international collaborators e.g. European Heat Pump Association, World Green Building Council โ€“ European Regional Network.

recently presented their new Lisa X 3D printer during a DASBE partner meeting held at the Galway campus.

The Lisa X 3D printer, which employs Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology, is being introduced into the Department of Building and Civil Engineering at Atlantic Technological University (ATU).

This state-of-the-art printer enables the production of highly detailed, durable components by fusing powdered materials with a laser, making it particularly suitable for architectural and engineering applications.

As part of its integration into the curriculum, the printer will be used to develop Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs)โ€”interactive, physical models that represent complex geometries found in building components. These models will serve as tangible aids to help students visualize and understand intricate design features and spatial relationships that are often difficult to grasp through traditional 2D drawings or digital simulations.

DASBE looks forward to receiving updates on this technology and its applications in education.
