LIFE Clean Energy Transition: Smart Ready!

Since the release of the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI), and despite efforts to adopt it, the SRI uptake is still hindered by several obstacles. On the one hand, European member states find their legal and market specificities to demand for tailored approaches; on the other hand, businesses and market stakeholders lag in the understanding the benefits of SRI and, consequently, in their adoption.

This session aims to shed light over the benefits of SRI roll out to a variety of stakeholders, while also addressing exploring paths to solve the most relevant hindrances to SRI implementation across sectors and across countries. European, national, and regional policy makers, construction and automation stakeholders, and real-estate investors are our primary target audiences.

In order to address a wide range of audiences that may have different expertise levels, the session will split into two parts. The first part will focus on introducing SRI and presenting the experience of countries where roll out is ongoing. A presentation of recent advances and challenges within the building automation industry should also contribute to build a common ground for all attendees.

The second part will focus on handing the helm over to the audience. After briefly presenting their projects’ research, representatives of EASY SRI, SRI2MARKET, Smart^2, and SRI-ENACT – along with previous speakers – will engage in an interactive panel discussion fed by questions from the audience.
