GEN – 1453.00. The December edition of the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) newsletter – including a new SRI factsheet on Heating Technical domain- has been released.

SRI Newsletter December 2022 – summary

The SRI platform serves to promote and support the testing and implementation of the SRI. It gathers Member States and all stakeholders interested in the SRI to facilitate interaction and discussion on technical, regulatory and implementation aspects of the SRI. The details with links can be found in the newsletter.

New SRI factsheet released

To get a deeper understanding of how the SRI works for each building technical domain, it is important to give a look at the ‘SRI-explained’ factsheets.

The factsheet related to the Heating technical domain has just been released. The energy used for heating and cooling in buildings and industry accounts for 50% of the EU’s annual energy consumption. By making the sector smarter, more efficient and sustainable, energy imports and dependency will fall, costs will be cut, and emissions will be reduced.

Smart heating control systems can act for instance on temperature set points and schedules. Some advanced systems implement algorithms and artificial intelligence to learn from user habits. They interact with other parameters such as windows openings and room occupancy to minimise energy waste.

Recommended actions

The SRI might with time, be introduced in a few countries. Members are recommended to take note of the evolutions by reading the newsletter.
