One process, one hub: SmarterEPC unifies EPC and SRI for efficient, reliable building assessments

By combining Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) with the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) into one streamlined procedure, the project makes audits easier, faster, and more reliable. At the same time, the SmarterEPC digital hub enables smart data collection, connects with existing tools, and delivers integrated EPC and SRI results.

With digital innovation, training, and real-world testing across Europe, SmarterEPC is paving the way for smarter, more efficient buildings.

Insight

What is the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

An Energy performance certificate (EPC) provides information on the energy performance rating of a building and recommendations for cost-effective improvements.

Insight

What is the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) Rating?

The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) is an EU scheme, proposed to assess the capacity of a building to accommodate smart-ready services.

Why EPCs and SRI are not widely used yet

Although EPC and SRI assessments offer significant benefits, their adoption remains limited or not well-known and is still evolving through various EU-level and commercial initiatives. What are the next steps?

  • Increase the promotion of combined EPC & SRI digital tools among citizens and professionals through a visual presentation of data 
  • Improve data collection, aggregation and analysis procedures for EPC and SRI in line with the EU initiative – the EU Building Stock Observatory
  • Develop on-site processes for EPC and SRI audits in line with advanced standards
  • Increase the relevance of EPC & SRI in decarbonization policies
  • Upskill and reskill the EPC &SRI professional assessors
  • Contribute to and support the ongoing work of the EU initiative – SRI Platform and National Testing Committees

The 290kW Mandate: How Europe is Turning Building Data into Strategic Decarbonization Assets

Modernising the European building stock remains the most significant hurdle in achieving the continent’s 2050 decarbonization goals. While the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) provides the legislative skeleton—specifically through Article 15, which sets the stage for the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI)—a deep chasm remains between high-level policy and national operational reality. The SmarterEPC project bridges this gap via the “Fit for 290!” roadmap. This framework is not merely a strategic guide; it is the essential toolkit for Member

EU Taxonomy, Buildings, EPCs and SRI: What Is Changing and Why It Matters

The EU Taxonomy is often presented as a sustainable finance tool, but for buildings, it has a very practical meaning. In the building sector, this mainly concerns new construction, renovation of existing buildings, and acquisition or ownership of buildings. The aim is to move away from generic claims such as “green building” and rely instead on measurable information. Discover the new taxonomy and what it means for the building sectors, policy makers and investors.

From Policy to Practice: Key Takeaways from the EPBD Implementation Days in Brussels

On May 13, 2026, the European Commission’s DG ENER and CINEA convened a high-level summit in Brussels to navigate the critical transition from legislative design to operational delivery. Held just weeks before the May 29 transposition deadline, the event served as a strategic forum for bridging the gap between policy ambition and technical execution. The focus has shifted from “what” must be done to the “how”, specifically through the deployment of EU-funded instruments.
