The chapter concludes with the description
of a foreign case of particular importance,
the Dutch “De Stroomversnelling”, in which
the integrated approach aimed at creating
an industrial chain, is particularly interesting.
Chapter Four of the report
Innovation in materials and building components, produced in factory and then assembled on site, stands out in many aspects from
that one of building technologies. In the first
case, as we have seen with regard to components, manufacturers have started a process of innovation long before the building
sector and have often benefited from the
effects of the technology transfer from other
manufacturing sectors with high innovation
standards.
Concerning materials, we often talk about
adaptive innovations, ie gradual improvements of the manufactured articles that offer
increasingly high performance compared to
the traditional prototype.
In this study we will deepen the analysis of
three types of materials: innovative materials,
natural and from recovery, to understand the
production process and the methodology of
LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) in a better way
and to emphasize an increasingly important
part of the supply chain and to bring out the
concept of development of the research and
technological innovation pushed by the demand for sustainability in construction.

The fifth chapter of the report deepens the
aspects of the green building occupational
repercussions, ie the new jobs created and
the need of training that the new professionals have, their characteristics, the compliance of the national education system to this
demand that is rapidly changing.
In an initial paragraph, the green building
occupational effects are analysed with national level valuations updated to 2014 and forecasts for 2015. The following paragraph
is an update on new training needs, studied
by analyzing the companies’ occupational
needs of companies, which brings out clearly how building specialized professions,
particularly in the working class, are far and
away preferred by the entrepreneurs of the
sector and that these specializations have
always to do with sustainable innovation.
In the end, there is a detailed study for the
first year, regarding the subject of health
and safety at work, combined in relation to
the production and marketing of innovative
products and technologies for the construction industry. A wide range of analyses from
which some positive trends are resulting, related to the introduction of elements of industrialization in the construction process, but
also associated to new risk factors, for which
it seems necessary to act in terms of information / training, prevention and minimization.
