Simplifying Building Performance Assessment Through Integration
The SmarterEPC project has reached a major milestone with the presentation of its innovative joint certificate at CASE 2025, demonstrating how Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Smart Readiness Indicators (SRI) can be potentially integrated into a single, user-friendly document.
Smart Readiness Indicator in the spotlight
October was a warm month for the implementation of the Smart Readiness Indicator in Europe. With two milestone events as Sustainable Places in Milan and the 4th SRI Joint event in Brussels, SRI has moved a step forward in being recognised as a strategic resource for meeting EPBD goals on energy efficiency
SmarterEPC: How SRI Transforms EPC in Europe
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.
SmarterEPC testing phase for SRI and EPC joint assessments
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.
EPBD IV impacts from Finland’s perspective
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.
SmarterEPC Showcases Innovation at EUSEW 2025
The SmarterEPC project marked a significant presence at the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) 2025, held in Brussels last week. A key achievement, best practices and tools to start implementing the EPBD IV at higher speed rates in the market. As SmarterEPC, we showcased the innovation we are bringing to combine the EPC and SRI in a unique solution.
EPC and SRI Current Coverage and Uptake Policies
The new SmarterEPC Deliverable is a pivotal report that offers a detailed, EU-wide analysis of the current status, challenges, and future pathways for Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI). This deliverable is a key resource for policymakers, stakeholders, and market actors aiming to accelerate the digital and smart transformation of Europe’s building stock.
SRI & EPC on spot: SmarterEPC at the SRI Joint Event and SmartLiving EPC final event
On May 6–7, the SmarterEPC team joined key EU events dedicated to advancing the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) and modernising Energy Performance Certification (EPC) under the EPBD IV.
From the SmartLiving EPC and CHRONICLE final events to the SRI Joint Event and SRI-ENACT Conference, the community came together to share progress, tools, methodologies, and policy updates.
SmarterEPC Advisory Board Launched
SmarterEPC launched its Advisory Board, sharing project updates and insights on new standards for SRI audits and energy assessments.
