SmartScore

INTERNATIONAL SMART

BUILDING RATING SYSTEM

What is SmartScore?

SmartScore is a global certification that evaluates how effectively a building uses technology to deliver a smart, efficient, and responsive environment.

Developed by WiredScore, SmartScore assesses the digital systems and technological infrastructure that enable buildings to operate intelligently, improving operational efficiency, sustainability performance, and occupant experience.

By benchmarking smart building capabilities, SmartScore helps owners and developers demonstrate that their buildings are equipped to support modern operational demands and future technological innovation.

SmartScore Certification Pathways

SmartScore certification applies to both new developments and existing buildings, allowing project teams to integrate smart building strategies throughout the building lifecycle.

EXISTING BUILDINGS

For operational buildings seeking to evaluate and improve the performance of their smart building technologies.

The assessment focuses on:

Building systems integration and automation
Data collection and analytics capabilities
Digital infrastructure supporting building operations
Occupant experience technologies
Operational management and system performance

Certification verifies that the building uses technology effectively to enhance performance and user experience.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS

For projects in design and construction aiming to embed smart building capabilities from the outset.

This pathway supports the integration of intelligent building systems, data platforms, and connected technologies during the design phase, ensuring that the building is equipped for efficient operations and future adaptability.

By incorporating these strategies early, project teams can deliver buildings that are digitally enabled and operationally resilient.

WiredScore & SmartScore

Digital and Smart Building Performance

WiredScore and SmartScore are complementary certifications that assess the digital infrastructure and smart capabilities of modern buildings.

WiredScore focuses on the quality, resilience, and capacity of a building’s digital connectivity, ensuring reliable telecommunications infrastructure and strong internet performance for tenants and occupiers.

SmartScore evaluates how effectively a building uses technology and data to enhance operational efficiency, sustainability, and occupant experience.

Many projects pursue both WiredScore and SmartScore certification to demonstrate that their buildings are not only well connected, but also intelligently designed and digitally enabled.

RCI specialises in supporting projects seeking integrated WiredScore and SmartScore certification, aligning digital infrastructure, building systems, and operational strategies from early design through certification. This coordinated approach helps deliver future-ready buildings that support both high-performance operations and exceptional user experience.
