Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) - Focus on lighting systems

The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) is a common EU scheme for rating the smart readiness of buildings. Lighting is one of the nine technical domains addressed by the SRI. Switching to more energy-efficient lighting products will save consumers an average of €30 per year and could preventing roughly 7 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in Europe per year.

Lighting products include light sources, such as light bulbs (halogen, compact fluorescent, etc.) or LED modules/lamps, as well as control gears, which are the devices needed to connect light sources to the electrical mains.

 

In 2020, approximately 1500 million light sources were sold in the EU, as lightbulbs become more efficient this figure is likely to fall to 600 million by 2030. Switching to more energy-efficient lighting products will save consumers an average of €30 per year. Additionally, this swap will enable electricity savings of up to 34 TWh per year, thus preventing roughly 7 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in Europe per year. In 2021, the Commission adopted new labels to scale the energy efficiency class and energy consumption of lighting products, which allows for greater energy savings and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Check out the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL) database for more detailed information on models placed on the EU market, regarding the luminous flux, colour temperature and cap type, among other characteristics.

 

The SRI implements a catalogue of smart-ready services. The document attached provides one example of smart-ready service categorised under the Lighting technical domain. An example of a full Smart-ready-services catalogue can be obtained by requesting the SRI assessment package here.
