RC VLO Advice GRO Smart buildings
Commissioned by the Flemish Government, with support from Buildwise, Ingenium has been working to provide advice on the practical integration of the smart buildings aspect into the GRO Sustainability Meter.
Through a workshop approach, the outlines of a new criterion were established, adopting the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) as the starting point. The SRI is a measurement tool for smart buildings developed by a consortium led by VITO on behalf of the European Commission. It is based on the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD), where the EPB/EPC tool also finds its foundation.
In close consultation, the standard structure was adapted and simplified to create an accessible and workable criterion for the GRO, with the aim of providing an incentive for the market. Ingenium has developed an adapted indicator that meets the specific objectives of the Flemish government. This new criterion will be integrated into the upcoming update of the GRO, scheduled for fall 2023.
