Stay involved in shaping the future of smart-ready buildings!

Led by the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security and supported by ENEA (National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development), this 12-month pilot aims to refine the SRI framework for the national context.

Italy’s test phase will focus on assessing the state-of-the-art smart technologies available on the market, adapting the SRI service catalogue, and exploring potential integration with Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). It will also analyse the correlation between SRI scores and EPC classes. The assessments will be conducted by ENEA experts, academic institutions such as the University of Cassino and Lazio Meridionale, members of Italian standardization bodies, and external trained assessors, covering at least 30 buildings across different use cases and climatic zones.

The SRI rollout continues to gain momentum across Europe, with 16 EU countries now having launched national test phases.

☑️ Survey on SRI awareness and value for building owners and investors
Aimed at building owners and investors, this survey explores their awareness of the SRI, its perceived value, potential adoption barriers, and how to improve communication on its benefits.

☑️ Survey on SRI assessors’ experience and value
For professionals who have conducted an SRI assessment, this survey gathers feedback on methodology challenges, framework adaptability, ease of use, expected benefits for end users, and training needs.

Both surveys will remain open until 🗓️ April 30, 2025, and the findings will be presented at the SRI Plenary Meeting on May 7, 2025.
