EU countries can implement or launch a test phase of the SRI scheme with the support of the European Commission and a technical support team.
Implementation or testing
The smart readiness indicator was adopted by the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive in 2018 and its subsequent regulations (Delegated Regulation and Implementing Regulation), triggering an optional implementation phase by EU countries.
Therefore, EU countries may decide to implement the SRI on (part of) their territory, for all buildings or only for certain categories of buildings.
Alternatively, EU countries interested in the SRI scheme can start by launching a non-committal test phase. Feedback from national test phases will allow adjusting the implementation modalities of the scheme.
The Commission will provide support and guidance to EU countries and regions that implement or undertake a test phase of the SRI.
SRI helpdesk
Stakeholders who need support in the implementation or testing phase of the SRI are welcome to contact the SRI support team by mail: support@smartreadinessindicator.eu.
Questions and answers received through the SRI helpdesk are regularly published on the SRI explained page.
