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.
SmarterEPC also provides common building inspection procedures for the export of EPC and SRI certificates, dedicated training programs along with e-learning materials, policy support to national and EU policies, and much more!
The SmarterEPC Hub is the cutting-edge solution for assessors and operators in the building sector to effortlessly evaluate and rate buildings. The hub will ease access to the most complete and updated EPC and SRI assessment tools as well as e-learning materials available in several EU languages.
The SmarterEPC standardised EPC and SRI assessments guarantee that results are credible and comparable, which is of great value for operators and final users. Assessors are guided through the hub to upload the building data, and select among the available digital tools, those aligned with their needs.
SmarterEPC Hub will issue EPC and SRI certificates ready to be transmitted to their clients.
To interested stakeholders like building owners, tenants, or EU and national authorities and researchers, SmarterEPC proposes an overview of EPC and SRI assessment, enabling the possibility to aggregate data and compute building performance, energy, and smartness KPIs levels in a given geographical area.
Welcome to the training and capacity building area of SmarterEPC! Here you will find a list of e-learning materials and packages for training the European assessors on innovative EPC and SRI procedures.
Get certified!
If you are an assessor and you successfully complete the SmarterEPC training, you will receive a professional certification as auditor for on-site EPC and SRI schemes. The consortium is working on a harmonised procedure for the EPC and SRI, in order for the assessors to be able to perform a combined audit via one unique process, with valuable benefits on costs and time.
The consortium will provide e-learning materials for assessors. Experts from all across Europe will be welcome to learn and get the chance to improve their competences with us!
Access to materials and training will be provided as the project progresses.

SmarterEPC has already joined forces with EU projects working on the EPC and SRI topics integrating the Next Gen EPC cluster and the LIFE SRI cluster. Are members of these clusters R2MF, CERTH, EPBC, EUP, R2MI. The following are all the projects we are cooperating with, distinguished on domains and type of funding.
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.
