WiredScore Smart Council
International real estate leaders convene to address the future of smart buildings
Defining smart buildings
The WiredScore Smart Council was created to provide clarity, leadership and guidance on what constitutes a smart building, and was comprised of global forward-thinking companies including Allianz Real Estate, Allied Properties REIT, Art-Invest Real Estate, AXA Investment Managers, British Land, Commerz Real, Deliveroo, Derwent London, EDGE, Fifth Wall, Gecina, Great Portland Estates, Hines, KingSett Capital, KPMG, Legal & General, Nuveen Real Estate, Patrizia AG, PGIM Real Estate, Rudin Management Company, U+I.
This marked the first time landlords, tenants and real estate leaders of such calibre came together to combine their knowledge and expertise to provide a dedicated approach to the impact of smart buildings within real estate.
The WiredScore Smart Council worked with WiredScore to establish clear criteria and standards that properties must meet to be certified smart, helping landlords navigate the complex world of smart buildings.
By partnering with forward-thinking global landlords and developers, WiredScore developed a certification, exploring factors related to building operational efficiency, optimisation and obsolescence, and ultimately a building’s ability to deliver an inspirational user experience.
WiredScore has built on the foundations provided by the Smart Council, and in 2026 will launch the WiredScore Governance Council, representing the next evolution of collaboration with the global real estate industry. The WiredScore Governance Council holds an advisory remit across WiredScore’s certification products and asset classes.
“We know the future is smart, and we’re excited to be working with such future facing organisations to form the global definition of smart and support us in the development of our new certification.
