Advancements in Energy Performance Tools: the new EPC Atlas
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.
Developing EPCs with the NextGen EPC Cluster
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.
Optimising EPC and SRI together with TunES
“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.
Reinforce connections from research and policy
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’s first study was released at Splitech 2024
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.
The SRI is strengthened in the new version of the EPBD
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.
SmarterEPC at the SRI Joint Event
SmarterEPC was present at the most important event on SRI organised at EU level this year which gathered actors and projects working on the development of the SRI.
Nail the essentials: What is the Energy Performance Certificate?
Have you ever bought, sold, or rented a house? You might elicit an Energy Performance Certificate. The energy certification of buildings is a sort of identity card for a building, having two goals: For a client (homeowner, a dweller, etc.), it provides information on the energy performance of buildings through an energy classification system; For…
Nail the essentials: How can a building be Smart? What is the Smart Readiness Indicator?
The SRI provides a common language for building stakeholders (owners, designers, solution providers, policy actors, etc.) to discuss how to make buildings smarter, and what benefits this will bring. There are 9 technical domains and 7 impact criteria for the SRI assessment.
SmarterEPC: the new hub to change building evaluation
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) adoption is progressing, albeit with disparities among EU Member States’ legislation. The emerging Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) for buildings is gaining importance. SmarterEPC aims to address these challenges by providing professionals with innovative tools to standardize assessments, supported by a user-friendly hub.
