Your technology. Our strategy. Future-proof buildings.
With our support, you can precisely determine the impact of your technologies (both software and hardware) on key regulatory indicators such as the Smart Readiness Indicator of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the degree of building automation according to the Building Energy Act (GEG).
A detailed analysis of your solutions shows where individual market potential exists and how you can expand your product portfolio in a targeted manner. At the same time, you receive a sound basis for decision-making on risk and investment issues, thereby creating security and sustainability for your company.
As a partner, you also benefit from the opportunity to present your products to a wide range of potential customers.
Our range of services for technology providers
With our clearly structured services, you can identify potential, minimize risks, and lay the foundation for future-proof and smart real estate.
1
Step One: Status Quo of Technologies & Solutions
We work with you to determine the impact of your technical solutions on the SRI score and the degree of building automation. We take into account the specific characteristics of each individual building type and present the results in a structured and easy-to-understand overview. This provides you with reliable key figures and creates a transparent basis for the further development of your products.

Step Two: Strategy development
We evaluate your existing solutions in detail based on the status quo. In doing so, we analyze not only profitability, but also various sustainability indicators. At the same time, we consider the convenience and functional gains for users as well as the interoperability of your systems with regard to future standards. Benchmarking against best practices gives you a clear classification of your technologies in the market environment.
We present the results to you in a clear and comprehensible manner. This gives you a basis for decision-making, allows you to identify potential risks at an early stage, and creates transparency for the profitable and future-proof orientation of your company.

Step Three: Technology & Service Transfer
After the analysis, we make your solutions visible: by including them in our partner network, your technologies are presented to property owners and operators in a targeted manner for optimization projects. This positions you as a relevant provider of sustainable building automation in exactly the right place. In addition to neutral validation of your solutions, you benefit from increased visibility in the market, which in turn leads to qualified leads and new business relationships.
How can you benefit from the Smart Readiness Indicator in the future?
Let’s find out:
Asset Manger
The SRI offers asset managers greater transparency and an overview of modernization options. The attractiveness of real estate can be increased by specifically improving the SRI score. In addition, the SRI score enables real estate to be compared, thereby supporting informed decisions and leading to more successful real estate management.
Facility Manger
The SRI offers facility managers the opportunity to achieve optimal building operation. Automated and standardized reporting, monitoring, and benchmarking improve the comparability of properties and strengthen resource planning by highlighting modernization options. Properties with a higher SRI score also offer comprehensive starting points (e.g., via sensor technology and robotics) for modern and innovative operation.
Portfolio manager
SRI can support portfolio management stakeholders by providing a transparent assessment of the state of digitization. Potential measures can be derived in a targeted manner across portfolios and implemented effectively.
Property Manager (technical and commercial)
The SRI helps property managers prioritize assets and simplifies monitoring, benchmarking, and reporting through standardized reports. In addition, the SRI supports informed decisions on new purchases and sales of real estate by improving the comparability of properties. This also facilitates the development of a comprehensive portfolio strategy.
PropTechs
The SRI enables innovative proptech companies to place their product portfolio on the market with suitable and targeted solutions. When proptech companies know which technologies are installed in a building thanks to the transparency of the SRI, they can quickly identify those buildings in which the solutions they offer have particular potential. This enables targeted developments and tailor-made solutions that meet current needs and trends.
Specialist company/craftsman/contractor
For tradespeople, the SRI can be a valuable tool for suggesting targeted optimization measures. The SRI can contribute to further training by providing insights into current technologies and best practices that are relevant to work on real estate.
Specialist planner
The SRI supports specialist planners in selecting components that meet the specific requirements for tomorrow’s technical building equipment. The clarity and comparability provided by the SRI improve both the planning process and the end result.
Software and hardware manufacturers and plant engineers
For software and hardware manufacturers as well as plant engineers of technical building equipment, SRI supports the development of components that are suitable for the various SRI levels (“Hardware is ready for SRI Lvl. X”) and enables the identification of buildings in which the solutions offered offer particular potential. Early involvement in the construction phase optimizes the planning process and expands the product portfolio with customized solutions that meet or even exceed current requirements. This results in an additional selling point.
Do you ne an API?
The methods used to determine the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) and the degree of building automation are subject to ongoing adjustments and further development. It is our job to always be up to date in this area—not least because we ourselves are actively involved in various political and standard-setting committees.
We can provide you with the complex calculations via a powerful API interface. You can easily connect this to your existing building management software (e.g., CAFM software). This means you don’t have to deal with the detailed legal requirements of the EU Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Building Energy Act (GEG) yourself, but can rely on our solution within your familiar working environment.
