Here’s what SMEs say about BE-ST:
“Working with the innovation centre was a pleasure. They have a very enthusiastic team that supported us from the very beginning through the entire project. Not only did they provide what was required, but they also brought new ideas, potential partners, and access to facilities. We were able to use their factory and machinery to test different equipment for brick production at an early stage, which guided us on our path to the final product and manufacturing process.”
“I and my colleagues really enjoyed the training and found it to be really informative. Great catalyst to further advocate for changes and implementation of new technologies in the practice”
“Brilliant course and now have a greater understanding of passive house construction.”
