The digital foundation of your real estate
The standard for the digital quality of commercial real estate
Where an energy label assesses a building's energy performance, the IT-Label shows how digitally ready a building is, and to what extent a tenant can be operational right away.
Why the IT-Label
IT is no longer a facility, but a basic utility
Without reliable connectivity and a well-functioning digital infrastructure, a building loses functionality, appeal and ultimately value.
Independently determined
A certified partner assesses both the physical infrastructure and the actual performance.
Objective and comparable
Six classifications make the digital quality of buildings measurable and comparable with one another.
Clear responsibilities
Clear in advance what the landlord provides and what the tenant needs to arrange themselves.
Ready for AI and cloud
Assesses whether a building can keep pace with the way organisations work today and tomorrow.
The real estate market is changing fast
Organisations are placing increasingly higher demands on the digital performance of their work environment. The rapid growth of AI and data processing, increasing strain on networks, longer waiting times for internet connections and the rise of Smart Buildings raise a new question: is a building digitally ready for the way companies work today and tomorrow?
The IT-Label provides an objective, transparent and measurable answer to this. Read exactly what the IT-Label is.
Certification Standard
Six delivery levels
Each level suits a different target group. View all classifications and the division of responsibilities.
IT1+ PREMIUM
Fully future-proof and AI-proof. Landlord takes care of everything.
IT1 HIGH PERFORMANCE
Ready to use immediately. Tenant only connects own equipment.
IT2 PLUG & PLAY
Ready to use immediately. Fibre and cabling present.
IT3 READY
Good basis, own setup still needed.
IT4 CORE
Basis up to the building, internal IT still to be set up.
IT5 SHELL
Shell, fully transparent about required investment.
From application to certificate
How an IT-Label comes about
Audit
The partner assesses the infrastructure and measures the actual performance.
Classification
The outcome is translated into an IT-Label ranging from IT1+ to IT5.
Who is the IT-Label for?
Property owners
Make the digital quality of your portfolio visible and set your building apart on what tenants demand today.
More information →Tenants
Know in advance what you get and what investment is still needed, before you sign.
More information →Partners
Carry out independent audits as a certified partner in accordance with the IT-Label methodology.
More information →No judgement, only transparency
The IT-Label deliberately does not assess real estate as good or bad. An IT1+ building is not automatically better than an IT4 or IT5 building: each delivery level suits a different target group. The label makes transparent what you get, and who is responsible for the digital setup.
From the knowledge base
Fibre optic in buildings
Why fibre optic is the basis of every higher delivery level, and what capacity and redundancy mean in practice.

How the growth of AI is changing the requirements for networks, and what that means for buildings.

Why a building with smart systems also has an attack surface, and how the IT-Label looks at this.

How it worksRelated information
What is the IT-Label?
The IT-Label is the independent standard that provides insight into the digital quality, performance and IT delivery level of commercial real estate.
Why an IT-Label?
AI, network strain and Smart Buildings raise a new question: is a building digitally ready for how companies work today and tomorrow?
How does the IT-Label work?
An independent audit assesses both the physical infrastructure and the actual performance. The certificate is then valid for two years.
The IT-Label classifications
The IT-Label has six classifications. Each level describes a different delivery level and a different division of responsibilities between landlord and tenant.
