UL Solutions and the Telecommunications Industry Association Launch SPIRE 2.0 to Enhance Smart Building Performance in Cybersecurity, Connectivity and Sustainability

that Microsoft became the first organization awarded the UL Verified SPIRE Smart Building™ Rating in multiple countries. Since then, hundreds of building managers and owners have leveraged the SPIRE framework to help improve building performance.

The SPIRE Smart Buildings program powered by TIA and UL Solutions results from significant collaboration through a working group of more than 60 leading commercial real estate, real estate investment trust, asset management, technology and telecommunications industry leaders. Together, the working group defined a new standard of assessment criteria to improve smart building performance and occupant experience.
