The so-called “SRI – Smart Readiness Indicator” classifies buildings in their intelligence and gives the degree of automation as a value. It shows the technical equipment in terms of smart meters and the degree of automation.ization level. As a result, self-regulatedulating smart home applications more strongly into focus..
