WiredScore is the globally recognised standard for digital infrastructure in buildings. Launched in New York in 2013 and brought to the UK in 2015, WiredScore plays a role similar to LEED or BREEAM, but with a focus on connectivity rather than sustainability. It empowers landlords, developers, and asset managers to assess, benchmark, and promote the digital capabilities of their properties, spanning office spaces, residential developments, industrial spaces, and entire neighbourhoods.
WiredScore awards four levels of certification, Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum, based on how well a building performs across several key criteria:
- Internet Service Provision: Availability of multiple high-speed fibre or fixed wireless providers
- Mobile Performance: Ensuring strong in-building mobile coverage across all operators
- Digital Services: Integrated public Wi‑Fi or tenant platforms
- Infrastructure Setup: Scalable network design and capacity for future upgrades
- Future-Readiness & Resilience: Ready for new tech and secure against outages
Why WiredScore Matters
1. Attract Premium Tenants & Investors
In the UK’s competitive commercial property market, WiredScore certification helps differentiate your asset. Certified properties command higher rental premiums, attract longer lease terms, and demonstrate readiness for modern tenants. Research shows WiredScore-certified buildings experience up to 3.8% lower vacancy rates and stronger tenant retention.
2. Support ESG and Net Zero Goals
WiredScore complements environmental and sustainability initiatives by evaluating the building’s ability to support energy-efficient technologies and occupant wellbeing. With a growing focus on ESG strategies and Net Zero targets in the UK, digital infrastructure is a key enabler.
3. Enable Smarter Portfolio Decisions
WiredScore’s latest framework includes a “tech stack” module, a transparent digital blueprint of your building’s technology infrastructure. This allows investors and asset managers to benchmark performance across portfolios and make informed, data-led investment decisions.
4. Meet Evolving Tenant Expectations
With the rise of hybrid and flexible work models in the UK, tenants expect seamless digital connectivity. WiredScore-certified buildings deliver on those expectations, offering uninterrupted mobile signal, fast internet, and tech-ready environments that boost satisfaction and productivity.
