SMARTNESS
Smartness refers to the capability of a building
or its systems to sense, interpret, communicate
and actively respond in an efficient manner to
the changing conditions, which are introduced
by demands of the building occupant, the
operation of technical building systems or the
external environment (including energy grids).

New paradigms
It is not only about energy efficiency of thebuildings and their subsystems …
but also how these are - Connected to the (energy) grids- Controlled and mutually interacting- Improving the quality of life of occupants- …
© EnergyVille
New paradigms … and new products and business models
▪ Load shifting and shedding
▪ Local energy generation
▪ Local energy storage, including vehicle to home / grid
▪ Automatic diagnosis and maintenance prediction
▪ Optimised controllers
▪ ….
▪ And combinations thereoff,
e.g. model predictive control for optimal self-consumption

Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI)
A ‘Smart Readiness Indicator’ (SRI) would give recognition for smarter
building technologies and functionalities which enhance the energy
efficiency and other pertinent performance characteristics of the
building stock. It could be an incentive for the integration of cutting edge
ICT-based solutions for energy efficiency into buildings, which can assist
in creating more healthy and comfortable buildings with a lower energy
use and carbon impact, and facilitate the integration of renewable
energy systems.

Objectives of the SRI study
Technical support to feed decision process:
• Quantify and assess impacts of smart technologies in buildings
• Propose a harmonized methodology to calculate and present SRI of a
building
• Compare policy options by an impact analysis
Commissioned by the EC Directorate-General for Energy

“Smart readiness” aspects in scope of the study
Readiness to adapt in response to the needs of the occupant and to empower building occupants by taking direct control of their energy consumption and/or generation
e.g. Management of heating system based on
occupancy sensors
e.g. Dashboards displaying current and historical
energy consumption

“Smart readiness” aspects in scope of the study
Readiness to facilitate maintenance and
efficient operation of the building in a more automated and controlled manner
e.g. Signal when systems need maintenance or
repair;
e.g. use of CO2 sensors to decide when to increase
ventilation

“Smart readiness” aspects in scope of the study
Readiness to adapt in response to the
situation of the energy grid
e.g. Reduce power consumption when grid demand
is high
e.g. Provide smart electricity grid with data on
available flexibility and future expected consumption

TASK 3 Stakeholder consultation
TASK 1
‘Catalogue’ of smart ready
services
Compiling servicestaxonomy and related
properties
TASK 2
Definition of smart ready indicator(s)
Develop indicator and teston set of reference
buildings
TASK 4
EU Impact assessment
Building stock analysis(bottom up approach
starting from developingreference buildings)

Mapping the smart services
SRI INDICATOR
11 DOMAINS
SERVICES each domain: 3 to 17
FUNCTIONALITY LEVELS each service: 2 to 5
IMPACT SCORES 8 impact categories
© EnergyVille
Task 1 provisionally defined 10 domains where SR technologies & services may be applied
• Heating
• Domestic Hot Water
• Cooling
• Mechanical ventilation
• Lighting
• Dynamic building envelope
• Energy Generation
• Demand Side Management
• Electric Vehicle Charging
• Monitoring and Control
© EnergyVille
Task 1 - Structural view on the concepts used
© EnergyVille
Task 1 - For each domain there is an array of services
Table 1. Heating sub-services considered in SRI Task 1
Heating-1 Heat control - demand side
Heating-1a Heat emission control
Heating-1b Emission control for TABS (heating mode)
Heating-1c Control of distribution network hot water temperature (supply or return) - Similar function can be applied to the control of direct electric heating networks
Heating-1d Control of distribution pumps in networks
Heating-1e Intermittent control of emission and/or distribution - One controller can control different rooms/zones having same occupancy patterns
Heating-1f Thermal Energy Storage (TES) for building heating
Heating-1g Building preheating control
Heating-2 Control heat production facilities
Heating-2a Heat generator control (for combustion and district heating)
Heating-2b Heat generator control (for heat pumps)
Heating-2c Sequencing of different heat generators
Heating-2d Heat system control according to external signal (e.g. electricity tariff, gas pricing, load shedding signal etc.)
Heating-2e Heat recovery control (e.g. excess heat from data centres)

Task 1 - 8 impact fields were provisionally defined
• Energy savings on site
• Flexibility for the grid and storage
• Self generation
• Comfort
• Convenience
• Health
• Maintenance & fault prediction
• Information to occupants
Current scoring is highly tentative
Aim is to assist in selecting the
main services from the current
longlist
Note, this consciously excludes security, fire-safety & emergency lighting functions
© EnergyVille
In progress: methodological development
Select smart services to be included
e.g. energy savings, DR capabilities, IEQ, interoperability,…
Determine cardinal or ordinal smartness performance metric and ranking for service functionality levels
e.g. cardinal data or overall ordinal ranking AD cfr. EN 15232
e.g. smart meter available: yes/no…
Values expected for each smartness technical feature to the specific service
e.g. energy savings to be expected from specific type of BACS, based on available standards
Multi-criteria assessment, potentially including weighting into aggregated indicator

Tentative first glimpse on potential assessment framework to derive an SRI
SRI = A × a + B × b + C × c + D × d + E × e + F × f + G × g + H × h
Where:
▪ A = the impact score (from 0 – 100) for Energy Savings on site
▪ B = the impact score (from 0 – 100) for Flexibility for the grid and storage
▪ C = the impact score (from 0 – 100) for Self-generation
▪ D = the impact score (from 0 – 100) for Comfort
▪ E = the impact score (from 0 – 100) for Convenience
▪ F = the impact score (from 0 – 100) for Health
▪ G = the impact score (from 0 – 100) for Maintenance and health prediction
▪ H = the impact score (from 0 – 100) for Information to occupants
and: a to h are the associated impact weightings
Can also and simultaneously weight scores by domains
