SRI2MARKET

Differences in the regulatory framework and market of the European Union Member States seem to hinder the implementation of the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) for buildings. With this in mind, the European project SRI2MARKET [Paving the way for the adoption of the SRI into national regulation and market], co-funded by Life+, was set up to support and inspire Member States, building on the experience of countries that had progressed with the implementation of the SRI.

The project lasted 36 months, and within this context, its main objectives were:

1. Support the targeted EU Member States (Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Portugal, Spain) on introducing the SRI into their national regulation;
2. Propose public funding schemes to finance SRI upgrades in buildings;
3. Develop tools to guide SRI assessors and streamline building assessments;
4. Provide training to EPC assessors on the SRI and the methodology of its calculation;
5. Set up SRI pilots at national level so as to identify best practices for SRI assessments;
6. Provide recommendations to building owners and facility managers on cost-effective SRI upgrades.

A total of 12 partners from 9 European countries participated in the project:

• Institute for European Energy and Climate Policy Sichting [IEECP] (Netherlands) – Coordinator
• AEE – Insitut fur Nachhaltige Technologien [AEE INTEC] (Austria)
• Universitaet fuer Bodenkultur Wien [Boku] (Austria)
