A holistic approach to assessing smart buildings
The global smart building market expected to grow to $215 billion by 2030 according to reports from Verified Market Research. But how are building owners developing their investment strategies without a common, industry-accepted methodology to measuring building intelligence?
To drive broader adoption of smart buildings, it is crucial for the industry to have a comprehensive, reliable, and measurable framework of assessment criteria. TIA's Smart Building Program offers a solution with its industry-led working group that has established this all-encompassing assessment criteria. The main objective is to assist building owners in understanding the current levels of operational intelligence in their properties, while providing guidance and a roadmap for the transition to smart buildings. Additionally, this program ensures a return on investment for future technology deployments.

WHAT IS A SMART BUILDING?
The concept of a smart building has evolved over time. However, true smartness can only be achieved when all building systems are seamlessly integrated and share data, allowing them to be effortlessly managed through a single interface with minimal human involvement.
SPIRE Smart Building Assessment and Rating with TIA-Developed Assessment Criteria
Developed with the combined working experience of TIA members and UL Solutions, the SPIRE smart building assessment and rating program is designed to help evaluate the performance and technologies of smart buildings. It’s based on TIA's transparent, industry-driven framework that’s aimed at improving smart building performance and occupant experience.
The TIA Smart Building Working Group
TIA facilitates an industry work group for smart buildings which is tasked with developing and maintaining the assessment criteria for the SPIRE Smart Building Assessment and Rating Program. With stakeholders from all aspects of the smart building ecosystem, we ensure objective, holistic and technology neutral criteria for the industry to leverage in verifying the performance of smart buildings.
