Consistent building information for public programmes
Records about a building are usually spread out. Equipment details sit with one person, repair history with another, weather and climate data somewhere else again. They only get pulled together when something goes wrong. ICI puts them in one place, for free, before that happens.
Anyone can use it. There is no licence and nothing to buy, so a programme can point people to it right away.
What it can support
Programme intake
The same starting record for every applicant: what is installed, and what paperwork backs it up.
Preventative maintenance
See the weather and the age of the equipment together. Plan repairs before something breaks.
Climate adaptation
Long-term climate figures and current weather, tied to the systems that have to cope with them.
Retrofit continuity
A record of what changed and what still needs doing, kept after the funding ends.
Less avoidable waste
Fewer repeat inspections. Less equipment thrown out just because nobody could find its history.
Public consistency
The same format for housing providers, cities, utilities and programme teams.
What it does not do
ICI is not an energy audit, an engineering report, an inspection, an appraisal or a code review. It does not decide who qualifies for a programme. It does not measure energy use, work out emissions or savings, or predict that anything will fail.
It reports what the records show. Where they show nothing, it says so. A missing record is recorded as missing. It never counts as a sign of poor condition.
Weather and climate figures describe an area, not one building. They never change a result.
How the evidence is governed
Every number says where it came from, what years it covers, and how it was measured. If we do not have something, we say so. We never leave a blank that could be read as a zero.
Begin with one building
Free, public, and useful before any conversation about scale.
