Live Broadcast #3: Texas Tower, A SmartScore case study with Hines

August 12, 2021

Hey friends,

Back in April, I interviewed WiredScore founder and CEO Arie Barendrecht about how to evaluate a buildingā€™s intelligence and the launch of WiredScoreā€™s new smart buildings scoring program called SmartScore.

I learned how aligned their philosophy is with ours at Nexus Labs and the assessment approach we teach in our Foundations course.

When SmartScore launched later that month, I also learned that over 70 buildings are already undergoing certification with the new scoring system!

My immediate thought? It would be fun to do a deep dive into how the scoring system works using one of these buildings and progressive building owners as a case study.

Thereā€™s nothing like digging into real buildings when it comes to cutting the fluff, right?

Iā€™m excited to announce that our August Live Broadcast will do exactly that. Iā€™ll be joined by Sanj Ranasinghe, Technical Director at WiredScore, and Paige Pitcher, Innovation Director at Hines, and Jesse Carrillo, SVP and CIO at Hines.

Weā€™ll dive into the amazing Texas Tower project and walk through exactly what makes it a smart building, including:

  • How it achieved triple platinum in LEEDĀ®, WELL, and WiredScore certifications and where the new SmartScore fits
  • The technology deployed and why the team selected those use cases
  • How building infrastructure technologies are integrated to enable those use cases
  • How the building scores on the new SmartScore system
  • Challenges and obstacles the team overcame to create ā€œsmartā€
