Smart Readiness Indicator in the spotlight

October 24, 2025

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 together with its sister projects, in October travelled Europe to meet stakeholders and decision makers. We presented our innovations and how key findings for the smooth implementation of the Smart Readiness Indicator in Europe, aligned with the EPBD Recast deadlines.

We started in Milan at the Sustainable Places Conference organised by R2M Solution in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan, with the thematic track “SRI: market uptakes” and we moved to the heart of the EU policy in Brussels with the 4th SRI Joint Event organised by CINEA.

Meeting the Market: Sustainable Places 2025

At Sustainable Places 2025, SmarterEPC showcased its latest outputs: policy analyses, digital tools, reference documents, and its Capacity Building Center. Innovation comes with challenges and we highlighted the interoperability issues we face in developing the SmarterEPC hub and the solutions we propose to enable fast and reliable building assessments, supporting EU energy efficiency policies.

“The SmarterEPC hub addresses the utmost request for fast, reliable and secure data collection, enabling the needed building performance assessments.”

Standardising the Smart Readiness Indicator in Europe: the 4th SRI Joint Event

At the 4th SRI Joint Event, the panel on ‘Integrating the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) with existing building auditing frameworks’ highlighted the importance of standardisation and shared methodologies. Participants agreed that the key success factors for effective SRI deployment will include the creation of a comprehensive training programme, fostering a new generation of “building doctors” with holistic skills in energy, digital, and comfort performance.

“The challenge isn’t the holistic approach, but assessors’ ability to master multiple fields.”
