Prioritize safer, more sustainable electrification in new and existing structures

Innovators are reimagining the built environment to drive electrification and decarbonization, introducing advanced technologies, sustainable materials and new safety considerations.

UL Solutions testing, modeling and evaluation services help customers navigate uncertainty and assess emerging risks in both established and developing systems — supporting the design, construction, and operation of safer, more sustainable spaces.

Get help with new and existing structures

New builds and retrofits require different products, systems and approaches. Don’t settle for a one-size-fits-all electrification strategy.

Prioritize safety over all else

Adding renewable power generation and storage introduces risk from electric shock and fire. Tackle these challenges with expert guidance, plus testing, inspection and certification.

Integrate renewable power production

Make progress toward decarbonization goals by adding a building-integrated solar array or other microgrid system inspected by a trusted third-party service provider.

Services and software for energy-safe built environments
