Optimising EPC and SRI together with TunES

August 7, 2024

“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.

SmarterEPC has been invited by Empirica, the coordinator of TunES, a project co-funded by the LIFE Programme of the European Union, aiming at optimising the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and its integration with the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) targeting 7 Energy Agencies.

Although SmarterEPC and TunES address different sectors – TunES is working with national Energy Agencies and public entities, SmarterEPC with building assessors – the two projects share the common mission to leverage and improve the use of both EPCs and SRI equipped them with the knowledge needed.

For this reason, Sara Momi, R2M Solution Italy, during the event delivered a presentation flagging how SmarterEPC is addressing professional building assessors that are keen to learn and adopt user-friendly, yet innovative digital tools in their everyday business when serving their clients.

This will be done by the provision of an online Hub, giving easy access to a selection of advanced digital tools (software) for smart calculation of energy performance certificate (EPC) and smart readiness indicator (SRI).

SmarterEPC is already working to set the basis for dedicated training and capacity building packages, with materials available online, and in several languages. This will be done by the combined action of 2 facilities:

A programme of training modules and learning materials, coordinated by EPB Center, tailored to professional assessors all across Europe
The SRI Support Centre, powered by R2M Solution France and addressing public officers in the EU Countries

The work done by the consortium and the results collected thanks to the SmarterEPC Hub validation in more than 100 pilots across Europe will be translated into easy-to-access, valuable materials foreseen for public and private experts on EPC and SRI schemes, tools to calculate them, analyses, lessons learned and much more!

R2M Solution Italy was pleased with the chance to feature the SmarterEPC project and ambition at this event and be engaged in a fruitful discussion with representatives of other projects, like SRI2MARKET and their online SRI calculation tool, as well as the iEPB project investigating the integration of SRI and EPC evidence.

Croatia moves towards a National Building Stock Observatory

Work carried out within the OBSERVE project is supporting Croatia in developing a more integrated, reliable and accessible building data ecosystem. Following an initial phase focused on mapping existing initiatives and engaging relevant stakeholders, the Croatian project activities have progressed towards a detailed assessment of the national policy framework and available building data. The work included a comprehensive analysis of how key European legislation is being implemented in Croatia, including the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the Energy Efficiency Directive,

OBSERVE presented at the Torroja Seminar on climate and energy efficiency

On 11 June, the Instituto de Ciencias de la Construcción Eduardo Torroja, IETcc-CSIC, hosted the Torroja Seminar entitled “Climate and energy efficiency in the built environment: the European i4c and OBSERVE projects” in Madrid. The event brought together experts working at the intersection of buildings, climate and data to discuss how better access to reliable information can support the energy transition of the European building stock. During the seminar, Rafael Villar, Marta Sorribes and Daniel Jiménez, members of the IETcc-CSIC

OBSERVE takes part in EUSEW 2026 policy session on local heating and cooling plans

OBSERVE was pleased to take part in the European Sustainable Energy Week 2026 policy session “Local heating and cooling plans: operationalising the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive”, held on 11 June 2026. The session brought together DG ENER, OBSERVE, sister LIFE CET projects and several European initiatives to discuss how better building-level data, stronger interoperability and local evidence can support the effective implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) at local level. From fragmented data to actionable insights A

EUSEW 2026: a high-level session on building data, energy efficiency and local heating and cooling planning

As part of the European Sustainable Energy Week 2026, a high-level session will take place on 11 June, from 14:00 to 15:30, at the Charlemagne Building, Jenkins Room. The session will focus on energy efficiency in buildings, local heating and cooling planning, and the role of building-level data in accelerating building decarbonisation. Supporting the implementation of the EPBD and EED The discussion will explore how digitalisation and better use of data in the heating and cooling sector can support the effective implementation of two major European policy frameworks:

OBSERVE meets Greek stakeholders to discuss EPBD-related priorities

On 30 March 2026, IEECP, coordinator of the OBSERVE project, organised a closed meeting in Athens with senior representatives from the Greek Ministry of Energy and Environment and key stakeholders from the Greek building sector. The meeting provided an opportunity to introduce OBSERVE and discuss how the project can support ongoing work linked to the implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). In particular, the exchange focused on the growing need for reliable building stock data, stronger monitoring
