Engine results, with bills at Ofgem's July 2026 price cap and works costs before grants. How the predictions are calculated

Energicore makes its own energy prediction for each property, checks it against any EPC on the register, and ranks the measures by the money and carbon they save. You issue the plan under your organisation's name.

For councils, housing associations, advice charities and retrofit advisors.

Two of these homes score 64 today and need entirely different work

The interwar semi and the system-built flat both sit in band D on 64 points, and the works that cut their bills have nothing in common. The semi is a gas-heated house with an unfilled cavity and a roof that can take panels; the flat runs on storage heaters, with homes above and below it.

From stock list to issued plan

Energicore runs the same engine on every property you add and turns each result into a plan your organisation issues. This is the start of one, for the system-built flat in the schedule above.

Plan page and PDF(key note 3)

Key to the sheet

  1. Your logo, colours and name appear on the plan page and on the PDF.

  2. The works are in order of what each saves a year on its own, largest first.

  3. The household opens the plan at your organisation's own address on energicore.app, such as your‑organisation.energicore.app, or downloads it as a PDF.

What else Energicore does

Organisation analytics
Band distribution, homes that could reach band C, and breakdowns by postcode area, deprivation decile, property type, age, main fuel and advisor. Each panel downloads as a CSV.
Plans built to an objective
Aim for a target band, a budget or the minimum standard for rented homes, take the most savings or the most carbon, choose every measure yourself, or describe a goal and let the AI assistant draft the plan.
Indicative grant eligibility
Each household is checked against scheme criteria, including ECO4, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and Warm Homes: Local Grant.
Tariffs and solar
Enter a household's own tariff, time-of-use rates included, so its cost estimates use what it pays. Size solar panels for the roof and see what they generate and export.
Plan pages and PDFs
Every plan is a web page and a PDF, both in your branding.
Teams and several organisations
Invite colleagues as admins or members; the role decides which properties their lists show and what they can change. Advisors can belong to several organisations and switch between them.
Audit trail
Owners and admins can read a log of successful sign-ins, conversations with the AI assistant, and each time an admin opens a household's conversation.

Branding, roles and procurement are covered in How it works in your organisation.

Notes

  1. Every property gets Energicore's own RdSAP-aligned prediction, whether or not it has a certificate. How the predictions are calculated

  2. Where a certificate is lodged on the government EPC register, Energicore reads it and cross-checks its prediction against it.

  3. Grant and scheme eligibility is indicative: the scheme's rules at the time of application decide.

  4. Cyber Essentials certified. Registered with the ICO, ZB909895.

  5. Platform data is hosted in the UK and the EEA. Security and compliance
