‘SRI-explained’ factsheets and resources

The Commission offers support and guidance to EU countries who want to implement the Smart Readiness Indicator, or who wish to start by launching a non-committal test phase.

To get a deeper understanding of how the SRI works for each building technical domain, we invite you to give a look at the ‘SRI-explained’ factsheets:

• A focus on Ventilation systems
• A focus on Lighting systems
• A focus on Electric vehicle charging systems

More factsheets will be published in the coming months, and additional resources are already available on the SRI website.
