Everything you need to know about the Smart Readiness Indicator
 

Buildings are among the largest contributors to carbon emissions, but we don’t need to wait years or spend a fortune on renovations to make a difference. Smart technologies can provide a faster, more effective solution by optimising energy use, enhancing comfort, and improving overall performance. This is where the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) comes into play, offering a clear framework for making buildings smarter and more sustainable.

The SRI-ENACT project is hosting a five-part webinar series to offer a thorough understanding of the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI)—from its foundational concepts to practical examples of building assessments.

In the fourth episode, several SRI Assessors trained during our project will share their experiences, providing insights into their training journey and showcasing key highlights from their assessments conducted using the SRI-ENACT tool.

WHO CAN JOIN?

This webinar is ideal for anyone who is passionate about driving sustainability and innovation in the built environment and wants to learn about the SRI concept – whether you’re a professional in the field, a policy maker or considering becoming an SRI auditor.

Agenda:

  • 11:00 – 11:05 Welcome by the moderator, Dimitris Stratakos
  • 11:05 – 11:15 Introduction: Overview of the SRI-ENACT assessments in the 8 pilot countries, Stamatia Rizou
  • 11:15 – 11:25 Results of the first SRI testing in the building sector in Bulgaria, Petar Kisyov
  • 11:25 – 11:35 Results of the first SRI testing in the building sector in Croatia, Saša Bardak
  • 11:35 – 11:45 Results of the first SRI testing in the building sector in the Czech Republic, Hana Gerbelová
  • 11:45 – 12:00 Q&A

Pre-pilot SRI assessments in Romania

Pre-pilot SRI assessments in Romania

News

During the first cycle, ISPE’s in-house auditor conducted pilot SRI assessments on 10 buildings across six diverse locations in Romania. These buildings represent a range of categories: 

  • Four residential buildings in Bucharest, the capital city 
  • A high school in Ploiești, Prahova County 
  • A hospital and an ambulatory clinic for athletes in Craiova, Dolj County 
  • A commercial building in Brănești, Ilfov County 
  • A school in Baicoi, Prahova County 
  • An office building in Balotești, Ilfov County 

 

The map below illustrates the locations of all assessed buildings. 

 

 

The following buildings have been assessed  

 

Penny Market, Brănești 

SRI score: 48.6%, Class E 

 

Clinical Emergency Hospital, C2 building, Craiova 

SRI score: 40%, Class E 

Ambulatory clinic for athletes, Craiova 

SRI score: 32.1%, Class F 

 

School no.3, Băicoi 

SRI score: 31,6%, Class F 

“Elie Radu” Energy Technology High School, C10 building, Ploiesti 

SRI score: 28%, Class F 

 

CAMUSAT ROM Telecommunications, Balotești 

SRI score: 23.3%, Class F 

Block of flats, district 2, Bucharest 

SRI score: 18.2%, Class G 

 

Block of flats, district 2, Bucharest 

SRI score: 18.2%, Class G 

Block of flats, district 6, Bucharest 

SRI score: 9.2%, Class G 

Block of flats, district 6, Bucharest 

SRI score: 6.4%, Class G 

 

Among the assessed buildings, the commercial building and the emergency hospital achieved the highest scores. The hospital, renovated in 2023, incorporated several advanced features, including: 

  • Local electricity generation: Photovoltaic panels with storage, with reporting of actual generation and consumption values. 
  • Domestic hot water (DHW) system control: Automatic control of solar collector storage, a dynamic priority system for DHW generators, and real-time reporting of DHW system values. 
  • Heating system: Thermostatic valves, demand-based control, variable-speed pumps, continuous storage, heat pump control, centralised system performance reporting, and scheduled operation. 

The high score for the emergency hospital reflects the emphasis on integrating cutting-edge smart technologies during its recent renovation. 

In contrast, the lower scores of other buildings highlight significant opportunities for improvement in areas such as energy optimisation, system automation, and occupant comfort across Romania’s building stock. 

Next Steps in the SRI testing 

The second cycle of SRI assessments is now underway. Following a training seminar attended by 60 participants, 10 expert auditors were selected to carry out the evaluations. This phase will expand the initiative to cover 110 diverse buildings across Romania
