ANALYSING GREEN AND DIGITAL SKILLS IN THE TWIN TRANSITION

Abstract: The building sector is undergoing a twin transition in which digital and sustainable transformation must be addressed jointly. Managing this transformation requires professionals equipped with green and digital competences. Existing research highlights the relevance of these skills, their systematic integration in education and professional practice remains limited. This paper addresses this gap through a qualitative case study based on 53 expert interviews and an expert workshop conducted in a German metropolitan region. The findings reveal significant green and digital skills gaps. Based on that, the study contributes an integrated framework for strengthening these competences across higher education and professional practice.
