With 6 Member States now engaged in official test phases, and additional ones to engage soon, 2022 has been a busy year for the Smart Readiness Indicator ! The SRI support team already recorded more than 430 requests to receive the SRI assessment package, as well as numerous technical questions and comments which demonstrate the growing interest for this common EU scheme for rating the smart readiness of buildings.

To help provide guidance to Member States setting out to design SRI certificates, an online certificate design survey targeted at professional stakeholders across Europe (especially: EPC assessors, estate agents and facility managers) was conducted under the auspices of the ongoing SRI support service contract. The replies from 71 completed surveys have been processed, and the SRI support team would like to take the opportunity of this newsletter to warmly thank all respondents.

Two EU countries have recently decided to launch an official test phase of the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI): Finland and Croatia. They are joining the 4 countries which had already made this decision a few months ago (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark and France). Other Member States are encouraged to join the move and test the SRI on their territories. In each of the 6 front-running countries, the national administration is supported by one or several local technical partners and by the SRI Support Team.
