New milestone unlocked! 100 buildings, comprising 100m sq. ft., are SmartScore certified
WiredScore is proud to have reached a new milestone for its SmartScore certification; over 100 buildings comprising 100m sq. ft. are now SmartScore certified. The news comes as the company celebrates its 10 year anniversary.
SmartScore certification is the global standard for smart buildings. It helps developers and landlords create and market smart buildings that deliver exceptional user experiences, drive operational effectiveness, meet high standards of sustainability, and are resilient in an ever changing world.
Since its launch in 2021, WiredScore’s smart building certification, SmartScore, has become synonymous with tackling the very real challenge of defining what exactly a smart building is. Over the last two and a half years, WiredScore has partnered with a number of leading landlords including Hines, Lendlease, Great Portland Estates, Greystar, AXA IM and British Land to certify buildings across its 36 markets.

Available for offices, SmartScore certification includes design and marketing tools which allow you to master your smart building journey and bring your technology vision to life. The certification also empowers you to demonstrate to investors and the wider market that your asset is future-ready.
Speaking about the news, CEO and Founder of WiredScore, Arie Barendrecht, commented:
“We are really proud to have reached such a significant milestone not just in terms of what it means for WiredScore and our own ambitions, but more importantly how it signifies a shift in the understanding of the wider real estate industry.
Buildings need to be tech-enabled to compete in today’s market, period. Our goal when we launched SmartScore was to demystify and educate what this means so that we can help landlords design and operate high-performing assets, and we can confidently say that we are making really positive progress to do just that.”
The first certified building was CEG’s EQ Building in Bristol, UK. Reaching SmartScore Gold, construction on the asset was recently completed, to offer the next generation of office buildings in the UK market. The 100th building to be certified was DWS’s Rondo 1, located in Warsaw, Poland. Achieving SmartScore Gold, the 2006 building has seen significant dedication from the landlord to future proof the asset using smart technology, keeping up with global standards.
