WiredScore and SmartScore are certifications similar to LEED and WELL. While LEED emphasizes sustainability, and WELL focuses on occupant health and well-being, WiredScore evaluates the technological infrastructure of buildings, while SmartScore explores the integration of smart building technologies.
WiredScore certification ensures that a building meets rigorous standards for internet connectivity, resilience and future readiness. In an era where businesses rely heavily on seamless online operations, having a strong digital infrastructure is paramount.
In fact, 70% of Internet issues are due to poor infrastructure and can cost as much as $300,000 per hour of internet downtime per WiredScope & EY.
WiredScore certification provides assurance to tenants and owners that they can operate without disruptions. This enhances productivity and boosts the overall value and competitiveness of the property.
Conversely, SmartScore evaluates the integration of intelligent technologies within a building, such as energy management systems, occupancy sensors, and automated controls. These technologies enhance the comfort and convenience of occupants as well as drive sustainability and cost savings. Smart buildings can optimize energy usage, reduce environmental impact, and adapt to the needs of occupants in real-time. By achieving a high SmartScore, commercial buildings demonstrate their commitment to innovation, sustainability, and occupant well-being and join 100 million square feet of certified buildings across the world
Overall, incorporating WiredScore and SmartScore considerations into the MEP and Technology engineering design process helps optimize building performance, enhance occupant experience, and future-proof commercial buildings against technological advancements.
Telios, has experienced WiredScore and SmartScore certified engineers on staff. Our most recent Score project, The Quad, is WiredScore and SmartScore Platinum Certified. Currently, it is the only building in Dallas and one of three in Texas with both certifications.
