Last week, R2M France participated in European Sustainable Energy Week 2026, organised by the European Commission in Brussels. This major event brings together European stakeholders committed to the energy transition each year to share their work, experiences and solutions.
On this occasion, R2M France represented the European SmarterEPC project during the session entitled:
“Boosting the potential of building renovations through renovation passports, EPCs and the SRI”
Supporting the deployment of smarter buildings
This session provided an opportunity to present the work carried out within the framework of SmarterEPC. The project supports European countries in the implementation of the Smart Readiness Indicator, also known as the SRI.
This indicator aims to assess a building’s ability to use smart technologies in order to improve its energy efficiency, operation and adaptation to occupants’ needs. It therefore complements the energy performance certificates already used in the various Member States.
R2M France spoke alongside the OneClickRENO, iBRoad2EPC, iEPB and OpenBEP4EU projects.
The discussions brought together representatives of national authorities as well as several stakeholders from the building sector. The discussions focused in particular on the integration of different tools into energy renovation policies, including:
energy performance certificates
energy audits
renovation passports
the Smart Readiness Indicator.
This meeting also provided an opportunity to compare the approaches adopted in several European countries and to better understand the difficulties encountered in implementing renovation policies.
Towards more consistent energy renovation across Europe
The discussions highlighted the importance of better connecting existing tools in order to facilitate renovation projects and support the smart transformation of buildings.
SmarterEPC’s participation in EUSEW 2026 therefore represents a new opportunity to share the project’s results and contribute to European discussions on the future of building energy performance.
