Question 1

In the context of this study, the main focus will be on technologies which enhance the building’s operation in accordance with the user’s needs and energy efficiency. In that sense, the Smart Readiness Indicator will refer to one or more of the following ‘readiness’ criteria:

1. 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;

2. Readiness to facilitate maintenance and efficient operation of

the building in a more automated and controlled manner;

3. Readiness to adapt in response to the needs/situation of the

energy grid.

© EnergyVille

Question 1

Do you agree that at least one of these criteria needs to be fulfilled

before one can speak about Smart Ready Technologies in the

context of SRI?

o Yes, at least one of these criteria should be fulfilled

o No, other important criteria (e.g. not related to energy efficiency ) are

missing)

6/13/2017

21

© EnergyVille

Question 2

How to define the smart readiness of a building: based on its

smartness potential or realization of the smartness capabilities?

o Based on the smartness potential (a building can be called ‘smart

ready’ even if the potential is not realized by the building user)

o Based on the realization of the smartness capabilities (only if the

building is actually being used in a smart way a building can be

called ‘smart ready’)

© EnergyVille

Question 3

Should there be a separate SRI indicator for residential buildings

and a SRI indicator for non-residential buildings?

o Yes

o No

6/13/2017

22

© EnergyVille

Question 4

If yes, what kind of buildings should have more priority in the SRI?

o No, only one SRI indicator is recommended for both residential

and non-residential buildings

o Yes, a SRI indicator for residential buildings should have priority

o Yes, a SRI indicator for non-residential (office) buildings should

have priority

© EnergyVille

Question 5

Should there be a separate SRI indicator for new buildings and a

SRI indicator for existing buildings?

o No, there should be no distinction between new and existing

buildings

o Yes, a distinction should be made between new and existing

buildings, both for residential and non-residential buildings


buildings, but only for residential buildings


buildings, but only for non-residential buildings

operators, equipment installers,…

o Both of the above

© EnergyVille

Question 7

At what occasion should a SRI assessment be issued? (multiple

choices can be selected)

o When a building is put on sale market

o When a building is put on rental market

o At the moment of a sales transaction

o At the moment of rental transaction

o As part of the procurement of a newly constructed or thoroughly

renovated building

o At any time on a voluntary basis

Afternoon




6/13/2017

26

© EnergyVille

Discussion

• What balance should be struck between simplicity, which might

imply a single aggregate indicator, and salience – which might

imply an indicator for each SRI impact parameter?

• What decision making process should be applied in devising

this methodology?

27

© EnergyVille

Discussion

• What could be the profile and expertise of people in charge of

assessing the SRI of a building?

• How much time should it take to assess the SRI for a given

building/at what cost? What recommendations should we

consider related to the means to, and level of effort involved in,

assessing SRI?

SCOPE: Definition of ‘Smart’ X in our context

Definition Smart Ready Service:

• Smart ready services make use of Smart ready technologies to satisfy a need or to fulfil a demand from the user (occupant/owner) of a building.

Definition Smart Ready Technologies:

• The Smart ready technologies are the foundation for the services to be implemented on. Services and sub-services use those technologies like e.g. bus systems, communication protocols or building automation systems.

Limiting the scope of SRT for this study:

• Not everything which can be considered smart (e.g. remote home surveillance) is in the scope of this study

• Some aspects are boundary conditions, e.g. health

Service & impacts to be considered

Focus on energy and efficiency related impacts of smart services:

Capability for interaction with occupants

provide insight, control, feedback

Capability of optimised operation and maintenance

… within boundaries for health and comfort

Capability for demand response and interoperability

participate in a demand-response scheme, and communicate this

© EnergyVille

Mapping technologies to a service list

The service list provides a (technical) view of smart ready services according to their domains and their solutions giving the state-of-the-art of possible use cases.

It is based on desk research and interviews

• Standardization & roadmaps

• Technical Standards and their functionalities

• Technology reports

• Accepted state-of-the-art literature

The assessment is an objective exercise through ranking of the functionality. The assessor will translate the technology to the functionality level

6/13/2017

© EnergyVille

Mapping technologies to a service list (II) – the next steps

We focus on energy and efficiency related impacts of smart services

Services as well as sub-services provide benefits, e.g. in terms of energy savings (in total), energy efficiency gains, renewables feed-into the grid or electric vehicle, lowering emissions of CO2

Different metrics and KPIs for services are envisioned

Task 2 will elaborate on this

Common Framework towards SRI

Paul Waide, WSE Kjell Bettgenhäuser, Ecofys

© EnergyVille

Common framework towards an SRI

Objective

Derive a viable harmonized SRI calculation methodology

Factors to consider

The SRI should balance the need to reliably capture the smart readiness services and functions with the practicality and potential costs of independent assessment of the SRI

It needs to be practical and provide the most benefit for the effort expended in its assessment

Implies analysing the trade-offs between the net benefits provided by each smart service and their ease & cost of independent assessment

Understanding the net benefits of each smart service also implies mapping those benefits into a reliable evaluation framework

6/13/2017

© EnergyVille

Task 2 Robust methodology for the harmonised calculation at EU level of the SRI for buildings

Activities

1) Grouping and decision-making on services to be included – informed by impacts/net benefits, assessment feasibility, assessment cost and salience

2) Derivation of cardinal or ordinal indicators of performance for each smart service and function considered

3) Derivation of an overall smartness indicator - aggregation

4) System of assessing, reporting and presenting smartness information

5) Illustrate the application of the SRI for a set of reference buildings (link to Task 4)

© EnergyVille

Task 2 Robust methodology for the harmonised calculation at EU level of the SRI for buildings (2)

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. broadband ready: 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

A salient and motivating indicator

To be effective the SRI needs to convey information which is salient to end-users

It needs to strike the right balance between informational content and ease of understanding

It also needs to have motivational value for its users

Heuristic scales (such as A to G or 1 to 5 stars) have been shown to be readily comprehensible and motivational for end users but with the SRI a key challenge is likely to be conveying what it is a measure of

The Commission is considering complementary consumer research may be undertaken to help inform how this should best be done

© EnergyVille

Some key issues to be resolved

• What aspects of a building are considered to be smart?

• What services/functions should be grouped for assessment?

E.g. energy performance of the building, energy performance from the building’s interaction with the grid, electro-mobility, comfort & convenience, IEQ, safety & security, interoperability, IOT etc.?

• Given the conflict between comprehensiveness and feasibility + cost of assessment how should the trade offs be managed?

© EnergyVille

Some key issues to be resolved (2)

• What balance should be struck between simplicity, which might imply a single aggregate indicator, and salience – which might imply an indicator for each SRI impact parameter?

• What decision making process should be applied in devising this methodology?

© EnergyVille

Some key needs

To do this work efficiently we need stakeholder support in gathering information and views on:

• independent assessment feasibility, time (level of effort) and cost building on experience with EPCs and other relevant exercises

• what are the appropriate smartness indicator groupings and the order of priorities to be placed on different types of impact – likely to be an iterative process

• how the SRI information should be organised for presentation to end-users
