Implementation tools

Smart Readiness Indicator guidelines for EU countries and assessors, and examples of digital calculation tools.

For national authorities

Provisional guidance on the implementation of the SRI (February 2023): This document is an output of the activities of the SRI support team and aims to provide provisional guidance on the implementation of the SRI during the period when EU countries may opt to conduct test phases. At a future date the Commission may prepare formal guidance on the implementation of the SRI informed by the experience accrued during the national test phases. The current version presents guidance that draws upon the knowledge of the SRI technical support team and some experience already relayed through provisional testing.

Training slide deck for Member States (September 2024): It has been designed for national or regional authorities in charge of implementing the EPBD, willing to launch an official test phase of the SRI. It provides recommendations from the SRI support team and examples from pioneering countries. 

For building owners

Training slide deck for building owners (September 2024): It has been designed for building owners willing to understand the link between the SRI and the building value, and to better communicate with building managers and building occupants about the benefits of smart technologies.

For SRI assessors

Updated training slide deck for SRI assessors (September 2024): It compiles the material needed by assessors to conduct an SRI evaluation. It provides links to relevant material in national languages and adapted to national specificities, available in some countries (see also “The SRI in EU countries” page). Where such specific material is not available yet, assessors are guided in using the EU-level SRI assessment package, which consists of a calculation sheet and a practical guide (you can ask it by filling in this form).

SRI digital calculation tools

Various initiatives have developed digital tools to conduct SRI assessments, and in some cases provide complementary services.

Tools used by official SRI test phases conducted by Member States: These tools have been developed by the LIFE CET SMART-READY projects that support the rollout of the SRI in the EU.

Other tools: Developed by research projects or other initiatives, some of these tools also provide additional functionalities.
