As the year draws to a close, the SRI community can look back on 2025 as a year of steady progress, growing collaboration, and meaningful steps toward smarter and more resilient buildings across Europe.
Technology and innovation
The SRI featured prominently at the international Sustainable Places 2025 conference, with four sessions showcasing its progress, practical application, and supporting tools:
The SRI continues to evolve as a key tool for assessing and improving building intelligence across Europe.
The SRI continues to advance across Europe, supporting the digitalisation and energy-smart transformation of buildings.
The 4th SRI Joint Event brought together EU authorities, experts and stakeholders for an engaging day dedicated to the smart readiness of European buildings.
CINEA and several LIFE projects invite you to the 4th SRI Joint Event, taking place on Tuesday, 22 October 2025 (08:30–17:30 CET) at ACE Events, Brussels and online.
The SRI will be a main topic at Sustainable Places 2025, with dedicated sessions and workshops where LIFE and HORIZON projects will share results, lessons learned, and next steps for industry implementation.
We would like to remind professionals who have conducted an SRI assessment to contribute to the ongoing survey.
Registrations are now open for the 4th SRI Joint Event, which will bring together stakeholders to exchange on the implementation of the SRI in Member States and to learn how LIFE projects are providing policy support and practical tools to facilitate national rollouts.
Professionals who have conducted a SRI assessment are invited to participate in a newly launched survey.
The SRI continues to gain traction across the scientific community, with a growing number of peer-reviewed publications analysing its application, performance, and future potential.
At the halfway point of its lifetime, the SmarterEPC project has delivered significant achievements in support of the integration of the SRI into energy performance certificates (EPCs).
October will feature two key events within the SRI community.
SRI June 2025
The CEN-CENELEC Workshop Agreement (CWA) 18193:2025 has been published, providing a standardised framework for on-site SRI audits.
The SRI rollout continues across Europe:
This short survey, sent on behalf of the SRI Platform Stakeholders Working Group 3, is intended to capture feedback on the experience of persons that have performed an SRI assessment.
This month, Italy officially launched its SRI test phase, becoming the latest EU country to trial the scheme.
The Smart Square project just launched its Smart Readiness Virtual Training Center, an innovative platform designed to provide modular, interactive and practice-based training on the latest EU-level provisions for the SRI.
On 1 April 2025, the Smart Square project will host a high-level event in Milan on the SRI.
