CEN EPB Standards Certified Experts

🚀 🏢 💡The smartness revolution in buildings has started! Ready to join us? 👩💻 👷 Building professionals are learning to consider a building from its smartness data and are curious about the Smart Readiness Indicator #SRI concept. But how to calculate it? A standardized approach to on-site SRI audits is needed for its deployment at qualitative level, while valorising findings useful for practitioners (assessors, facility managers) involved in building management and energy efficiency. In line with the provisions of the #EPBDIV, this article authored by Paris Fokaides and his team proposes the standardized approach to conducting on-site SRI audits, as outlined in the CEN Workshop Agreement #CWA 📒 and initiated by Smart Square Project. Learn more about it! 🔎 Access the full article here: https://lnkd.in/duWgdV3R Our #SmarterEPCHub is going to include the results derived from this and other 5 LIFE projects in one platform, addressing #buildingassessors and construction operators.
