Overview
SmartScore Neighborhood is a certification that helps landlords and developers demonstrate that a neighborhood offers a cutting-edge, smart user experience, high sustainability standards, and future-readiness. This certification assesses both the buildings within the neighborhood and the public spaces, ensuring that the entire area offers a seamless, user-focused, and environmentally responsible infrastructure.
The certification evaluates several key areas, including sustainability, cost-efficiency, and the ability to adapt to future technologies. By integrating smart solutions into both public and private spaces, SmartScore-certified neighborhoods provide an exceptional living and working environment for residents, tenants, and visitors alike. The program also helps landlords and developers promote their neighborhoods as forward-thinking, environmentally responsible, and equipped with the latest in smart technology.
This holistic approach includes smart infrastructure that enhances user experience, such as intuitive building systems, real-time data for optimizing energy use, and robust digital connectivity. SmartScore also emphasizes long-term sustainability by ensuring that the area can adapt to new technologies as they emerge, further enhancing the neighborhood's appeal to investors, tenants, and the wider community.
SmartScore Neighborhood certification ensures that neighborhoods are designed for the future while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability and user satisfaction, making them attractive, competitive, and highly livable spaces in today’s evolving urban landscape.
Requirements & Verification
Evidence Requirements
Applicants must submit documentation covering smart infrastructure across both buildings and public spaces within the neighborhood, including evidence of digital connectivity, smart building systems, sustainability measures, and future-readiness planning. A technical assessment and review of the neighborhood's systems, data management practices, and user experience features is conducted by WiredScore assessors.
Prerequisites
Assessment Process
WiredScore assessors conduct a technical review of the neighborhood's smart infrastructure, digital connectivity, sustainability systems, and public space integration. The process involves documentation submission, a scorecard-based evaluation across multiple categories, and a review by WiredScore's technical team. There is no on-site exam; assessment is based on evidence portfolios and technical data provided by the applicant.

Accountability Model
Consider Alternatives If...
Avoid if your project is a single building or small-scale development rather than a multi-building neighborhood or district, as WiredScore and SmartScore building-level certifications are more appropriate in those cases. Also consider alternatives if your primary focus is purely environmental sustainability rather than smart technology and digital infrastructure.
