SRI2MARKET – Paving the way for the adoption of the SRI into national regulation and market

SRI2MARKET will use lessons learned by countries that are well advanced in rolling out SRI to support and inspire action among those that are not early movers.

Für das Projekt wurden folgende Ziele festgesetzt:

Objective 1: Support the targeted EU Member States Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Portugal, Spain on introducing the SRI into their national regulation

SRI2MARKET will produce recommendations for each of the targeted Member States on: (a) integrating the SRI into the current national regulatory framework for buildings and

(b) evaluating whether the default SRI calculation methodology is appropriate or whether adaptations are required, and (c) using the SRI as an effective policy instrument to achieve the national energy and climate policy goals.

Objective 2: Propose public funding schemes to finance SRI upgrades in buildings
The project will set up and fuel – through evidence-based proposals – a stakeholder dialogue process with key national power market stakeholders (regulatory agencies, energy agencies, system operators) so as to jointly define how improvements in SRI rating should be compensated in order to provide the appropriate incentives to the building renovation market. The goal is to incentive energy efficiency
measures that can help phase out old polluting power generation plants that exist only for serving peak demand, and/or mitigate the need for additional power generation capacity that is non-economically viable.

Objective 3: Develop tools to guide SRI assessors and streamline building assessments.

Objective 4: Provide training to EPC assessors on the SRI and the methodology of its calculation translated into native project partner languages

Objective 5: Set up SRI pilots at national level so as to identify best practices for SRI assessments to connect the users of the e-learning service with building owners.

Objective 6: Provide recommendations to building owners and facility managers on cost-effective SRI upgrades, in terms of energy savings and demand flexibility
