SRI default calculation
The SRI support team has produced an SRI assessment package to support the SRI testing and implementation in EU Member States.
Introduction
The SRI support team has produced the SRI assessment package (v4.5 being the latest version). It is comprised of a practical guide for the SRI calculation framework and a calculation spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is a representation of the methodology for calculating the SRI, based on the multi-criteria assessment method defined in the Commission Delegated Regulation 2020/2155. The spreadsheet is a tool to support the SRI testing and implementation in EU Member States. It includes a default service catalogue and weighting factors, while enabling the use of customised values.
Default service catalogue
The SRI assessment package produced by the SRI support team defines a service catalogue in which each technical domain is composed by several service groups, which contain smart ready services as in Table 1. Note that there are two service catalogues, a comprehensive one (i.e., B), and a reduced one (i.e., A).

Several incremental functionality levels, ranging from 0 to 4, are defined in a technology neutral manner for each technical domain’s smart ready service. A higher functionality level reflects a smarter performance.
Default weighting factors
The SRI assessment package produced by the SRI support team defines default weighting factors for each of technical domains per impact criterion for 5 climatic zones in Europe (i.e., South-East Europe, North-East Europe, South Europe, West Europe, and North Europe). Such factors are different for residential and non-residential buildings. Also, the weighting factors of each key functionality in the total smart readiness score.
Contextual adaptations
Understand how the SRI came into being and learn about the different policy instruments that made it possible.
The SRI core methodology defines the required framework for the calculation of the SRI.
The SRI certificate defines the required information to be included in the certificate resulting from the SRI assessment by an expert.
The SRI assessment aims to determine with sufficient reliability what services are present or planned in the building, and if so, the functionality level for each of those services.
