The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) was included in the third version of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and has since been used in research involving a variety of building types and climate zones. While numerous studies highlighted the qualitative characteristics of the current SRI framework, this work describes a methodology for adding quantitative features to it. It uses indicators for each effect area and proposes multiple standards as rating assessment factors. We specify the integration of this crucial component enhancing the framework. This enhanced framework is applied to a hypothetical use case, and the outcomes are compared with those of the current framework. The results demonstrate that the SRI score was increased after adding quantitative elements to the SRI framework.
