Sophie Dourlens Quaranta, Managing Partner of R2M Solution France and coordinator of the LIFE CET project SmarterEPC, joins SERG CAST Podcast to explore the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) for buildings.
The SmarterEPC project is advancing the integration of the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) with Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). After testing on 14 buildings in seven countries, the project is now preparing for real-world validation with EPC assessors.
As the European Union accelerates its climate ambitions through the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD IV) adopted in May 2024, Finland is stepping up to the challenge. The directive must be transposed into national legislation by May 2026. For Finland’s real estate sector and energy service companies (ESCOs), this marks a pivotal shift—one that brings both regulatory pressure and strategic opportunity.
As we move into a key phase of the OBSERVE project, the team is actively developing tools and methodologies to support the creation of effective, inclusive national Building Stock Observatories (BSOs) across Europe. 🇪🇺 📰 Recent work has focused on designing tailored questionnaires and survey instruments to capture valuable input from public authorities, technical experts, and other key stakeholders. These tools will be used in one-on-one interviews and an upcoming EU-wide stakeholder survey set to launch in July 2025. The insights gathered will help identify national
