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.

Integrating Energy Performance and Smart Readiness Indicator: Insights from assessors

SmarterEPC surveyed 25 building performance assessors to test the integration of Energy Performance Certificates with Smart Readiness Indicator assessments. The SmarterEPC methodology promises to streamline building audits under the revised EPBD, but assessors emphasise the need for clearer criteria, practical training, and digital tools to ensure successful implementation across Europe. Read what we found out.

The state of the EPCs in Italy: progress and challenges

The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), introduced in Italy in 2005 with the 2002 EPBD Directive, is a fundamental tool for building management for owners, operators, and institutions alike. Aside from the benefits, what is the current state of EPCs in Italy? Every year, ENEA publishes a report on EPCs to analyze the state of the art of this certification, which is still not fully exploited in all its potential.
