## Summary

Aerie Barendrecht, founder and CEO of WiredScore, explains the company's mission to bring transparency to in-building technology through its WiredScore and SmartScore certifications. She details how these frameworks evaluate connectivity infrastructure and smart building functionality—such as productivity, health, and security—to help landlords and developers create future-proof spaces. Barendrecht highlights the post-pandemic shift where tenants demand high-quality digital experiences, driving a need for standardized playbooks to navigate the fragmented IoT solution landscape.
