The Burj Khalifa, also received the award for the Middle East's smartest 'high-rise residential' building.

Dubai - Smart Building Score Awards announced at Innovation Live! Summit

The world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, has been named as the UAE's 'smartest' building at the region's first-ever smart building awards presentation at the Innovation Live! Summit in Dubai. 
The world's tallest tower also received the award for the Middle East's smartest "high-rise residential" building. 
The Honeywell Smart Building Score Awards program, developed by technology titan Honeywell, assessed the smartness of buildings across the region based on three key indicators - how green, safe and productive they are. 
The awards recognise the leading smart buildings in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and assessed hotels, hospitals, educational and retail facilities as well as the leading high-rise office and residential buildings across the region. 
UAE buildings, Latifa Maternity & Paediatric Hospital and City Centre Deira were also named at the event as the 'Region's Smartest Hospital' and the 'Region's Smartest Retail Facility,' respectively.
The summit, an official anchor event of the widely celebrated UAE Innovation Week, held in association with Dubai Chamber, addressed initiatives that are being spearheaded in the UAE to drive forward the National Innovation Strategy and UAE Vision 2021. 
The awards are designed to help drive innovation and the 'smart cities' agenda in the UAE and across the Middle East in line with regional development strategies. The Burj Khalifa achieved the highest evaluation amongst all entries from the UAE, with impressive scores across all three smart building categories.
"The UAE continues to make progress toward fulfilling its long-term sustainability and smart cities goals, and will continue to do so in line with the National Innovation Strategy and UAE Vision 2021," said Norm Gilsdorf, president for Honeywell's Middle East, Russia and Central Asia regions. 
"For us at Honeywell, a smart building is one that is connected, safe, energy efficient and, ultimately, helps improve the quality of life for its occupants and users. We are very pleased to recognize Burj Khalifa, City Centre Deira and Latifa Hospital's dedication and investment in smart building solutions, and to highlight these best practice cases as an example to be followed around the region and the world." 
The Honeywell Smart Building Score (HSBS) framework was used to evaluate 620 buildings across seven major Middle East cities: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Doha, and Kuwait City. 
As well as buildings in the UAE, the awards also recognised smart building successes across the region, including:

Qatar: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Winner, Region's Smartest Hotel; Aspire Zone - Winner, Region's Smartest Educational Facility;
Kuwait: Al Hamra Business Tower and Luxury Center - Winner, Smartest Building in Kuwait;
Saudi Arabia: King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) - Winner, Smartest Building in Saudi Arabia.
