Comments Off on AI Is Not a Software Trend. It Is a Building Requirement.
AI is often framed as a software revolution. In reality, it is a building revolution.
AI does not just run in the cloud. It runs through office networks, power systems, risers, and building infrastructure. And most offices are not ready.
By 2026, 40 percent of enterprise applications will include task specific AI agents, up from less than 5 percent in 2024. At the same time, 81 percent of occupiers expect AI to be embedded in daily workflows over the next five years. This is not experimentation at the margins. AI is becoming part of day to day operations.
AI tools operate continuously. They pull live data. They call cloud services constantly. They run across hybrid environments. As outlined in the Generation AI section of the report, latency tolerance is tightening, bandwidth requirements are rising, and reliability is becoming non negotiable.
Basic Wi Fi is no longer enough. Buildings must support sustained, high capacity connectivity that works everywhere, not just at a desk.
For occupiers, the impact is direct and measurable. Poor bandwidth, weak indoor mobile coverage or unreliable infrastructure no longer cause minor frustration, they disrupt productivity, slow decision making and limit the ability to scale AI initiatives effectively. In contrast, buildings with strong digital foundations enable occupiers to deploy AI with confidence, support hybrid and data intensive work seamlessly, and future proof their operations as technology demands continue to accelerate.
Comments Off on Resilience Gets Real: Inside the Global Cities Resilience Index
In an era defined by climate volatility, digital dependency and escalating cyber threats, resilience is no longer a secondary consideration for global cities. It is a defining measure of competitiveness. The WiredScore Global Cities Resilience Index, introduced in Insights 2026, moves beyond policy ambition and infrastructure headlines to examine what truly matters: how resilient buildings actually perform on the ground
Comments Off on Insights 2026: Resilience gets real
Resilience has moved from theory to reality. In 2026, buildings are being tested by climate disruption, rising digital dependence and escalating cyber risk, often all at once.
WiredScore’s Insights 2026 explores how resilient real estate is being defined today, and why digital, physical and cyber foundations are now central to performance, value and occupier confidence.
Comments Off on Cybersecurity holds a prominent place in conversations at NexusCon 2025
Last month, WiredScore attended and presented at NexusCon in Denver, Colorado. The conference brought together professionals across smart building technology and operational technology, creating space for meaningful conversations about data, AI, and the future of smart buildings.
Across the sessions and side conversations, one theme remained prominent: cybersecurity. Here are our thoughts on how the industry is responding to this rapidly escalating challenge.
Comments Off on The Smart Premium: how WiredScore’s certifications can boost asset value
Cushman and Wakefield recently published their Smart Premium report, a look into the impact of digital connectivity and smart technology on the rental market in London offices.
Drawing on 10 years of leasing data combined with WiredScore’s certification records, the findings reveal some compelling insights:
A 4.1% average rental premium associated with WiredScore-certified buildings, demonstrating occupier demand for buildings prioritizing digital infrastructure.
A 7.3% average premium where buildings hold both WiredScore and SmartScore certifications, showing the combined impact of digital connectivity and smart technology investment.
Office experiences are increasingly built on complex tech foundations as occupiers place greater value on experience, productivity, and wellbeing.
Landlords who get this right are seeing tangible benefits.
Comments Off on Prologis and Trammell Crow among first adopters of WiredScore for Industrial and Logistics in North America
Since the start of our journey 12 years ago in North America, we’ve worked with over 500 of the biggest landlords, certifying over 770m sq ft of space across the office and residential sectors.
Now we are bringing WiredScore to the industrial and logistics sector, where we are working with a number of landlords including Prologis and Trammell Crow Holdings to bring our global technology standard to these spaces.
Hear from John Meko about what this means for the real estate industry in North America.
Comments Off on Cyber, connectivity and AI adoption: what six months in the industrial sector has taught us
Six months on from WiredScore’s launch into the industrial sector, the market context is continuing to shift. Investment volumes are climbing, occupier demand is resilient, and landlords are having to think differently about how their assets perform.
Knight Frank’s latest research shows £1.4 billion of transactions in Q3, marking the third straight quarter of year-on-year improvement. Take-up for larger units hit 10 million sq ft in Q2, the highest since 2022, pushing H1 totals to just over 18 million sq ft. At the same time, vacancy has crept up to 7.7%, the highest level in 11 years, and average industrial rents have risen 4.8% year-on-year, with forecasters revising growth expectations for 2025 upwards.
In other words, activity is strong, but competition is intensifying. As more space comes onto the market, digital performance, resilience and future-readiness are increasingly what set buildings apart. Through our certification work and conversations with clients, six clear lessons have emerged that show where the sector is moving, and where the gaps still lie.
Comments Off on Defining tomorrow’s built environment: British Land and WiredScore on the path to operational excellence
Q&A: William Newton (WiredScore) & Johan Joubert (British Land)
British Land has long set the bar for what it means to build and manage places with excellence. Their recent recognition with WiredScore’s Certificate of Excellence for Operational Excellence is a testament to that commitment. This portfolio-level award celebrates real estate investors and developers who consistently deliver best-in-class digital connectivity, resilient design, and smart building management across their assets. For British Land, it reflects a long-term vision that brings together cutting-edge digital infrastructure, sustainability strategies, and thoughtful placemaking across their campuses and buildings in London.
To mark the achievement, we joined the British Land team at Broadgate Tower to sit down with William Newton, CEO of WiredScore, and Johan Joubert, Digital Placemaking Programme Manager at British Land. Together, we explored why digital excellence matters, how sustainability and operational performance intersect, and what the future of connected places looks like.
