NORTHBROOK, Ill., Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science, today announced that FIVE Hotels and Resorts' FIVE Palm Jumeirah and FIVE Jumeirah Village hotels in Dubai are the first hotels to receive UL Verified SPIRE Smart Buildings™ Ratings.

We thank them for putting their trust in UL Solutions to deliver on that promise."
The FIVE Palm Jumeirah and FIVE Jumeirah Village hotels received an in-depth, on-site and virtual audit of each of the building's assets, technologies and processes. To assess for the SPIRE Smart Buildings Ratings, UL Solutions focused on six key, industry-driven building criteria categories that define the full scope of smart building performance, including power and energy, health and well-being, life and property safety, connectivity, cybersecurity and sustainability.
