Description
The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) is a tool designed to assess a building’s ability to integrate and adapt to smart technologies and solutions, focusing on its potential for energy efficiency and the effective management of energy resources. The SRI evaluates various aspects of a building, including its smart systems, energy management capabilities, and the degree to which it can interact with energy grids and other technologies for optimization. The indicator provides valuable insights into how well buildings are equipped to manage energy consumption, improve comfort levels, reduce operational costs, and support sustainability goals. It helps building owners, operators, and policymakers identify areas for improvement and prioritize investments in smart building technologies that enhance energy performance, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to the overall efficiency of building operations. The nZEB Smart Home serves as a pilot site during the seminar, demonstrating the application of the Smart Readiness Indicator in a real-world setting. Through this demonstration, participants will explore how the home integrates smart technologies, such as automated energy controls, smart appliances, and energy storage systems, to optimize energy use. The seminar will provide practical insights into the implementation of these technologies, showcasing the potential benefits for building owners and users, and highlighting the role of smart readiness in achieving energy efficiency and sustainability goals in the built environment.
