The SRI2MARKET Tool Suite consists of two platforms:
- An e-learning platform that provides lessons on the SRI and its assessment methodology
- An SRI assessment tool that provides a user-friendly interface for users to carry out and store their SRI assessments
e-learning platform: Learning SRI2MARKET
The platform is available in seven languages. The e-learning lessons are a mix of videos, documents, online classes, quizzes and submission exercises. The e-learning service was launched in April-May 2024 in the 6 project countries (i.e. Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Portugal and Spain).
It is only required to have a valid Google account for registration on the platform and then choose the most suitable course according to the country or language preference.
The SRI2MARKET e-learning programme establishes a graded learning system to ensure proper training of building professionals and other interested end-users, while at the same time enabling a quality control system to curate the SRI2MARKET database. The learning path is made up of three stages or levels, closely linked to the access to the assessment platform: Level 1 - SRI User, Level 2 - SRI Beginner and Level 3 - SRI Expert. In order to achieve each level, it is mandatory to complete specific tasks for validation and at the same time, each level grants different access to the assessment platform. Specifically, the achievement of "Level 2" will automatically provide access to the assessment platform and the achievement of "Level 3" will differentiate the user account and classify the corresponding projects according to these criteria, making them valid for advanced monitoring and benchmarking of SRI scores.
This learning path is suggested to increase trust on the SRI assessments which populate the SRI2MARKET database in order to extrapolate aggregated and consolidated conclusions regarding the SRI test phases.
SRI assessment tool: Sri2Market
The SRI2Market assessment tool is protected by login credentials that can be facilitated through the e-learning platform as described above and is available in 7 official EU languages at the moment. This web tool implements the default methodology for calculating the Smart Readiness Indicator, including Methods A and B, but it also allows easy customization of all the aspects of the methodology that can be adapted at Member State level, such as the catalogues of services, the weighting factors, the mandatory services and/or technical domains to be assessed, and so on. All these aspects can be easily adapted by a user with administrator rights. For this, it has been pre-defined a proper structure of users, including the National Administrator and the National Coordinator roles. This web-based tool implements a web-responsive design; thus, it is fully accessible from different mobile devices.
Each SRI project contains all relevant methodological information regarding the selection of the method, the catalogue and the technical domains to be assessed. But also, general information about the building for classification purposes: such as the building size, the nominal thermal power, or the energy class (if available).
Factsheets for each service are available in the platform to clarify the use of the catalogue and selections of functionality levels.
Besides the detailed scorecard for each project, including the most relevant results regarding overall and disaggregated SRI scores, the platform offers detailed benchmarking based on aggregated and anonymous data of the whole database.

easySRI aims to enable a smooth and extendable web platform that offers services for the automated calculation of the SRI according to the Final report on the technical support to the development of a smart readiness indicator for buildings accomplished under the authority of the European Commission DG Energy, that will act as a basis for an effective implementation of the SRI and allow further testing at Member State level.
easySRI aims to introduce additional parameters that address energy efficiency and financial dimensions in view of making the acquired information more understandable and quantitative for the user of the building. Furthermore, easySRI will support the implementation of a number of ML services (i.e. ML-based core engine and wizard tool for performance and smartness upgrades and SRT interventions), which will assist the evaluation and assessment of the building system’s performance and smartness in more than one normalised metrics as per the SRI framework, and provide customised recommendations for upgrades, considering the cost of investment.
Furthermore, novel business strategies will promote adoption and engage stakeholders towards evaluating and upgrading smartness in their facilities, while dedicated workshops and training material will facilitate deployment. Finally, the project aspires the update of current standards as well as the inclusion of its outcomes in new or future standards and will investigate links with other EU initiatives such as EPCs, B-Logs and renovation passports in order to maximize the use of SRI concept in EU policies in the fields of energy and buildings.

Other tools: Developed by research projects or other initiatives, some of these tools also provide additional functionalities.
The D^2EPC Building Performance Module is a calculation suite that facilitates the calculation of 4 sets of indicators related to the building’s smart-readiness, indoor environment, environmental and financial performance. Acting complementary to the Asset and Operational Rating tools that enable the energy performance assessment of buildings respectively, the Building Performance Module provides an additional set of static and dynamic indicators, better informing end-users on their asset’s energy performance.
The SRI calculation is facilitated by a dedicated sub-module, the "SRI calculation sub-module," which integrates the concept of smart-readiness in the broader domain of EPCs. In this way, the end-user can have a clearer view of how that asset’s smartness level relates to the rest of the energy and non-energy aspects of the building's operation and lifecycle.
The SRI calculation methodology is compliant with the up-to-date European SRI framework. In particular, Method B has been chosen to deliver a more detailed representation of the building's technical infrastructure. The SRI tool has been designed to operate as an online service. The D^2EPC Web Platform provides direct access to the SRI tool. The SRI web environment enables the assessor to upload the building information, while the tool’s ability to extract information from existing BIM files can shorten and simplify the building documentation process. Moreover, dedicated APIs can provide third-party access to the tool's calculation services.

The use of Building Information Models to assess the SRI of buildings is a complex process and can be implemented in multiple ways. Amongst the EPC RECAST project ‘s output we developed, several software components aimed at supporting SRI assessment using IFC format BIM models.
Firstly, a semantic ontology model which maps the IFC schema with the SRI technical domains was developed. An IFC model extractor allows the population of the semantic model with instanced data. Using a semantic triple store, these can be queried to quickly identify which building elements within the BIM model are related to which SRI domains. Using this in conjunction with BIM 3D tools allows quick and convenient visualisation, which can enhance assessor' productivity on large models.
The above software bricks were developed, and integrated into the 4DCollab BIM platform (a LIST asset) and tested.

The U-CERT SRI digital tool brings the official SRI assessment spreadsheet into a cloud-based web environment (as a component of the U-CERT digital toolset), enhancing the user experience on both the data input side (notably for SRI assessors) and the results' interactive visualization (notably for building performance improvement decision-makers). The main aim is twofold: to simplify and streamline the entire assessment process, and to highlight the added value and benefits of smart building technologies, thereby guiding asset owners toward informed decisions.
While U-CERT has laid important groundwork, it is likely to serve as an inspiration and precursor to the more advanced SRI tools developed by the SRI cluster projects, which have significantly more extensive resources and dedicated focus on the topic. SRI was just one component within U-CERT, but the LIFE CET cluster projects have expanded and built on this foundation. The SRI digital tool is accessible via any web browser, with all SRI assessment data stored locally on users' computers.

The SmartLivingEPC Asset Rating Engine constitutes a suite of tools that facilitate the creation of a holistic rating system for assessing a building's energy and environmental performance. The development of the SmartLivingEPC rating system produces outcomes from various assessments (SRI, energy, and non-energy analysis, LCA, and building systems energy auditing). The generated set of KPIs from each tool are centrally collected to the Asset Rating Engine and combined in a weighted approach to issue the total SmartLivingEPC Asset Rating class of the examined object and issue the Asset Rating report.
The Asset Rating Engine receives all essential information through the Web Platform and a set of external APIs. The building-related documentation may originate from user inputs or from existing documentation within Building Information Modeling (BIM). The latter plays a crucial role in the SmartLivingEPC framework, as it automates significant portions of the building’s assessment process. The external APIs are used to retrieve mostly weather data. The outcomes are forwarded to the Web platform for end-user access and are also archived in the Web Platform Database for future retrieval.
The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) component is utilized to calculate the SRI score of the examined asset along with the associated KPIs used to measure the building's ability to adapt its operation to the needs of the occupants and the electricity grid, while ensuring high levels of energy efficiency and overall performance. The development of the tool has been based on the latest calculation spreadsheet prepared by the SRI support team contracted by DG ENER. Furthermore, the tool is equipped with a backend system that enables the extraction of essential building documentation from the BIM file, enhancing IFC literacy. The generated outputs are forwarded to the SmartLivingEPC Web Platform for end-user access and are also archived in the Web Platform Database for future retrieval.
The SmartLivingEPC SRI analysis tool is an enhancement of the D2EPC SRI Calculation Subcomponent, focusing on the efficient integration of BIM literacy leveraging an innovative rule-checking methodology.

SRI XR is an immersive, multi-technology application that supports both training and practical evaluation aligned with the official Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) methodology. It combines Augmented Reality (AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Virtual Reality (VR) into a unified learning and assessment platform, designed to educate a broad audience, promote the adoption of smart technologies in buildings, and make the SRI methodology both understandable and practically applicable.
In the AR environment, users engage with structured, scenario-based training modules that gradually introduce all core elements of the SRI methodology. These scenarios use interactive 3D visualisations to explain the nine technical domains and the seven impact criteria, as well as how each smart service contributes to the overall SRI score. The application clearly illustrates how different functionality levels influence energy efficiency, comfort, and grid flexibility — the key pillars of the SRI — and how these ultimately shape the building’s smart readiness. Multiple building typologies and smart technologies are included, simulating realistic environments and making the learning experience scalable, engaging, and easy to adapt to various user needs.
The application features SUNDAY, an intelligent AI assistant that provides real-time support by answering user questions about smart building technologies, the SRI methodology, and strategies to enhance a building’s smart readiness. Whether the user is an auditor, student, or building owner, SUNDAY simplifies the complexity of the SRI by offering accessible explanations and tailored guidance. By integrating natural language interaction, SUNDAY helps bridge the gap between technical documentation and user understanding, enabling both technical and non-technical audiences to navigate the SRI framework with confidence and autonomy.
The tool also includes the SRI Calculator, which enables users to perform full SRI assessments (currently based on Method A) through a simplified and user-friendly interface. Users can define which smart services are present in their building’s assessment and assign the appropriate functionality levels to each, resulting in the generation of the overall SRI score. The results are displayed in a detailed breakdown across the seven impact criteria and nine technical domains, offering full transparency into how each element influences the score.
Finally, in the VR environment, users are immersed in a fully interactive virtual building, where they can navigate through different rooms, inspect smart systems such as lighting automation, HVAC, and dynamic facades, and perform a complete simulated SRI evaluation. The experience replicates a real-life building audit and promotes experiential learning through gamified interaction — while remaining fully accessible remotely, regardless of location or equipment constraints.
This unique integration of technologies makes SRI XR a comprehensive educational and assessment ecosystem, fully aligned with the goals of the SRI framework. It supports auditors, engineers, students, facility managers, public authorities, and citizens, equipping them with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to understand, apply, and promote smart readiness across Europe.

SMARTeeSTORY is a web-based application developed to support the digitalisation and smart readiness assessment of different building typologies. Designed around the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) methodology defined by the European Commission, the tool provides a user-friendly interface for energy experts and building professionals to evaluate building smartness using Method B (expert assessment). The application facilitates a detailed baseline assessment across nine technical domains, considering functionality levels of smart-ready services and their impact on energy performance, comfort, and flexibility.
The tool goes beyond basic assessment by integrating a second module that supports the identification and simulation of improvement scenarios. Users can define objectives based on different assessment approaches such as building (energy efficiency and maintenance and fault prediction), user (health, well-being, accessibility, comfort, convenience and information to occupants) and/or grid (energy flexibility and storage), and receive personalized recommendations for upgrading their buildings' SRI score. A built-in financial module estimates the cost-effectiveness of each intervention using market-based prices and supports decision-making on smart retrofits.
SMARTeeSTORY includes advanced features such as scenario comparison, automatic report generation, and a novel five-class SRI scale to improve interpretability and promote smart retrofits. The tool has been validated through real-world applications in three European demonstration sites (Riga, Delft, and Granada), showcasing its potential to contribute to the digital transformation and energy transition of the EU building stock.
