The European Council has approved on 12 April 2024 the recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).

The SRI support team, alongside the cluster of LIFE SMARTREADY projects, exhibited at MIPIM, which convened more than 20,000 delegates in Cannes.

Belgium (Flanders), Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece and Poland have recently announced the launch of their official SRI test phase.

The SRI support team is already working on the next edition of the SRI Joint Event !

The SRI joint event held on Thursday, March 7, 2024, was a hybrid event hosted in Brussels. It combined the 4th plenary meeting of the SRI platform in the morning, jointly organised by DG ENER and CINEA, with an SRI day organised by Smart Square in the afternoon.

New datasets and features boost the user experience

The SRI platform serves to promote and support the testing and implementation of the SRI. It acts as an exchange forum involving all stakeholders interested in the SRI, and a forward-looking discussion hub for technical, regulatory and implementation aspects of the SRI.

The SRI support team, in collaboration with the cluster of LIFE SMARTREADY projects (SRI2MARKET, Smart Square, SRI-ENACT, and EasySRI), will host a joint stand at the upcoming edition of MIPIM to introduce SRI to the real estate industry.

The SRI joint event (Thursday 7 March 2024, Hybrid event, Brussels) will be a unique opportunity to discuss the smart readiness of European buildings.

Registrations are now open for the SRI Joint Event, combining the 4th plenary meeting of the SRI platform (morning) with an SRI day organised by Smart Square (afternoon)

Four LIFE Clean Energy Transition projects (easySRI, Smart Square, SRI-ENACT and SRI2MARKET) have formed a cluster which gathers 42 partners from 16 countries. They are all contributing to support the implementation and successful market uptake of the SRI.

Members of the SRI support team, as well as from the network of SRI-related LIFE Clean Energy Transition projects will be present at the EU Projects Zone of the upcoming Enlit Europe exhibition in Paris (28-30 November 2023).

The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) was initially introduced in the 2018 revision of the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).

The SRI is currently being tested in eight Member States, while an SRI platform has been established to share understanding of the SRI with regard to its implementation and value proposition. At the same time, several initiatives related to the SRI are underway, including those under the LIFE Clean Energy Transition programme.

The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) is a rating scheme designed to assess our buildings’ capacity to accommodate smart-ready services. The SRI was introduced in the revised 2018 Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and its subsequent regulations.
