This week on the IoT For All Podcast, WiredScore Founder and CEO Arie Barendrecht joins us to talk about the smart building space and what we can expect to see from the commercial and residential buildings of the future. Arie starts us off by sharing a quick history on smart building certification and the challenges that WiredScore was founded to solve, beginning with a pretty consumer-focused need for visibility into building capabilities for things like connectivity. Arie also shares his definition of what a smart building actually is and how he expects that definition to change as technology and demand evolves; he speaks to his experience in the space and how he’s seen the smart building landscape change; and, finally, Arie shares what incentives he sees really pushing the market at large toward smart building adoption.

Arie Barendrecht is the Founder and CEO of WiredScore, a platform that has been evaluating internet connectivity in office buildings and multifamily real estate to help tenants since 2013. He is passionate about making it easier for people to access the internet. At WiredScore, Arie helps building owners to improve leasing by giving prospective tenants a detailed snapshot of available connectivity and ensuring that tenants of all shapes and sizes can find the best buildings to meet their tech needs.
