SmartScore criteria
The SmartScore certification is divided into two areas, each with six categories, which are considered for the classification of a project:
- (User) functionality of the building (use cases) (67 credits) Evaluation of the implemented user requirements.
- Technical requirements (33 credits) Evaluation of the supporting technologies that enable the implementation of smart use cases.
In the user functionality area, the number of credits that can be earned per category is capped. This means that there are more criteria available in each category than the total number of credits that can be earned. Not every criterion has to be fulfilled in order to receive the full number of points in a category. This approach leaves room for the individuality of each project. In addition, up to 5 credits are awarded for particularly innovative measures that go beyond the SmartScore requirements. There are two ways to earn the additional points:
- Implementation of a new functionality that is not mapped in the user functionality area of the building and makes a significant positive contribution to creating a sustainable, cost-efficient and future-proof building.
- Implementation of a technical innovation that goes beyond the technical requirements and contributes to making building technology future-proof.
In order to receive the credits for particularly innovative measures, an additional application form must be completed and submitted together with the relevant supporting documents.
