Phase Three

Finished the second phase which each partner has outlined the evolution factors specific of the new professional figure in, according to the areas which had been defined in the meeting preceding kept him to Rodez, a Survey has been built with the aim to validate the identified evolution factors.

The Survey has been supplied to a Panel of experts coming from the various partner countries.

The sharing of the results of the Survey, the study of the state of the art of the Domotica in different countries and the in-depth analysis of the specific training system for of every country partner took to a shared work of definition of a repertoire of expertise which should go to outline the new professional figure.

The specific expertise has been assembled in 4 macro areas:

• Physical installation of domotic systems.
• Configuration and planning of domotic systems.
• Negotiation and business techniques.
• Quality and Safety and Health.

The produced document has been shared during the meeting of Turin where all partners compared relative to the possible modifications to be realized seen the difficulty to make the document transferable in every partner country.

Subsequently they have discussed about the definition of a common name to be given to this new professional figure, even if this aspects seems to be of secondary importance, it is actually strategic to give the rime name/definition not to create confusions and misurandestanding at Transactional level.

In each country in fact the given names or the terms assume different meaning and also meant at times several which can support interpretation difficulty.

The name of new professional figures is:

Building Automation and System integrator

Next step is the definition of a training course to train this new professional figure.

However this Step foresees, at methodological level, a strategic passage which has been part object of the meeting of Turin: the definition of the access qualifications to the training and the aims to reach after the training.

Strategic aspect for two reasons:

• the differences in training terms in different countries
• the necessity of providing a clear reference picture to the future users what will enjoy

After a discussion and a comparison, as it is possible to highlight from the submitting figure, partners have decided that we could place the professional figure at an intermediate level between the specialized technical training and the university training.

This supposes that who will want to be admitted to the training course should have at least got one of the three technical specializations. (electrician, programmer, installer).

This will not preclude the possibility of enjoying the training course at the superior level, but it will be important that who will decide to attend the training course should have, at least, the knowledge and the expertise of a technical training.

This Training course has been thought to be supplied at professional level or for a target of persons that already works, but wish to acquire the necessary skills to work on domotic sectorand also for a target of persons that have acquired one of the three technical specialization described on the base of the pyramid.

Building automation and system integrator will be a figure, as we describe before, who will be able to organize and manage project team of electricians, installers, programmers that will work in domotics projects and contextually to be able to talk and work with customers, suppliers and other professional figures involved in the process.

We can interpret these aspects reading skills and knowledge that we tried to define and share about technical aspects of all the three professional figures and cross aspect of negotiation, marketing, communication and laws.

The expertise repertoire will be still validated from a second Panel of experts to which will be asked, through a new Survey, every expertise defined.

The material product will be organized in a DVD which wants to be an approximation to the Domotica and the new professional figure in the study.

Sections of evaluation, documentation concerning the expertise to acquire, an in-depth bibliography built through the all the partner countries and all the used a references paper that and On line contribution for the project will be present in the DVD.

If someone is interested in coming in to do part of the Panel of experts who will validate the professional figure can have the Survey to fill in and to send us by e-mail. The Panel of experts, subject to approval, will be mentioned in the documentation which will be produced following the project.

During the meeting besides a new model has been outlined, this model is actually in study phase and elaboration in Spain at present, for who wanted to read the general lines scheme about it, can unload the photographs of the model soon.

The new model, as it is possible to see, supplements well with the new professional figure which a definite management role would assume of a crucial phase of the process.
