Smart Tools for Smart Buildings: Enhancing the intelligence of buildings in Europe
The Step-WISE project is a tailored and dynamic capacity-building programme for local and regional authorities to adopt ambitious Clean Energy Transition Plans.
SmarterEPC offers an easy-to-use, consistent, and versatile open hub for assessors and built environment specialists. It gives access to several user-friendly, and innovative tools to perform jointly EPC and SRI assessments. The hub is aligned with the most updated EU standards and provides consistent results about the building positioning along its decarbonization journey on energy performance and smart readiness.
“Latest Updates and Breakthroughs from EU-Funded Research and Development Projects”
SmarterEPC launched EPC Atlas, the tool that provides a broad and comprehensive assessment of available tools for calculations of Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and Smart Readiness Indicators (SRI). The EPC Atlas is a key tool for cataloguing and analyzing EPC Tools in the EU giving a solid base for European integration.
On May, SmarterEPC was present at the annually edition of the NextGen EPC cluster Conference in Brussels. This year the event focused alignment to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) as recently adopted (May 2024) and its ambition to achieve a fully decarbonised building stock by 2050.
“Tuning EPC and SRI. Practices and methods to analyse national challenges” was the event organised by the TunES project last May in Brussels where SmarterEPC contributed with its expertise an plan to equipped building assessors to adopt properly these tools.
On 21, 22 May SmarterEPC took part in CINEA’s Cross-Programme Buildings Clustering Meeting in Brussels, the cluster to bring together leaders and innovators to share best practices, market successes, and policy support actions aimed at pushing the delivery of energy transitions in the building sector.
SmarterEPC presented the paper “Bridging the Gap: A Comprehensive Review of EPC and SRI Calculation Tools in Europe” at Splitech 2024, the international conference on smart and sustainable technologies that this year took place in Bol, Croatia.
on the 12th April, EPBD was fully adopted. This marked a significat moment for Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) that are now entering the national test phase.
