The Mission
The goal was to help a UK prop-tech founder estimate the financial upside of improving a home's EPC rating and to evaluate carbon-credit style value from residential energy efficiency.
The Tech
The Core Logic
The engine ingests EPC certificate data—rating, property type, floor area, heating source—to estimate annual CO₂ emissions. It builds a dynamic baseline to calculate the "green delta" between current and potential ratings, adjusting for property-specifics like roof degradation.
From Carbon to Capital
We assign financial value to carbon savings using realistic price ranges. The system calculates the payback potential of upgrades, using conservative buffers to ensure savings aren't overstated.
Value = (Baseline CO₂ - Actual CO₂) × Market Price
Safeguards & Credibility
Property Specifics
Adjusts for differences, not generic ratings.
Degradation Model
Accounts for material and roof wear.
Conservative
Buffers to avoid overstating savings.
Scalable Design
Handles thousands of homes with auditability.
