Smart Readiness Indicator
The Future of Building Operations Starts Here
The Smart Readiness Indicator: A Roadmap for Building Intelligence
European buildings are entering a new era — one where they can sense, respond, and adapt. At the heart of this transformation is the Smart Readiness Indicator: the SRI.
What the SRI Is
Data. Efficiency. Smart Operation.
The SRI is Europe’s tool for measuring how smart a building really is: how well it uses data to optimise operating costs, how effectively it responds to the needs of occupants, how efficiently it runs its systems and consumes energy, and how ready it is for tomorrow’s energy system.
Why Operators Should Care
Energy Optimisation · Data Insights · Predictive Maintenance
For building operators, the SRI is not just a score — it’s a roadmap to reliability and resilience. It points you to the upgrades that cut waste, prevent failures, and stabilise operations.
SRI Evaluation Framework
The Three Value Pillars
01
Energy Performance
Continuous optimisation of heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting to minimise consumption and operating costs.
02
Comfort & Wellbeing
Intelligent response to occupant needs — air quality, temperature, lighting and indoor environmental conditions.
03
Grid Interaction
Active participation in demand flexibility, renewable integration and smart-grid signals to future-proof the asset.
Immediate Benefits
Fewer Complaints · Lower Costs · Better Stability
The benefits are immediate: fewer occupant complaints, more stable operations, lower energy bills, smarter fault detection — and buildings that adapt smoothly to occupancy patterns, weather conditions, and grid signals.
Assessment Coverage
The Nine SRI Domains
Thermal regulation & smart scheduling
Demand prediction & heat recovery
Adaptive chilling & free cooling
Air quality & demand-controlled flow
Occupancy-based & daylight harvesting
Adaptive shading, glazing & insulation
Self-generation, storage & load shifting
Smart charging & V2G readiness
BMS, analytics & predictive fault detection
EU EPBD · ISO 52120 · EN 15232
Predictive Maintenance & Continuous Insight
Predictive Maintenance Activated
With intelligent monitoring and analytics, operators detect faults early — avoiding unplanned downtime, occupant complaints, and costly emergency repairs. And with continuous data-driven insights, performance is not improved once a year — it improves every single minute.
Energy Optimisation & Demand Flexibility
Less Waste. Smarter Energy.
Energy optimisation becomes effortless. Your building automatically adjusts heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting to minimise consumption and limit peak demand — cutting operating costs without ever compromising indoor environmental quality.
Regulation: EPBD 2027
EPBD 2027 — Smart Readiness
And beyond all the operational benefits, smart readiness is expected to become a legal requirement — starting with large non-residential buildings, under the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
Future-Proofing the Asset
Flexible. Efficient. Resilient.
With the SRI, your building becomes truly future-proof — flexible, efficient, healthy, and resilient, and ready to interact with renewable energy sources and the technologies of tomorrow.
Smart buildings today. Ready for tomorrow.
So ask yourself: how smart is your building today — and how ready is it for tomorrow? The Smart Readiness Indicator gives you the answer. And it helps you build your tailored roadmap to get there.
