    HomeIQ — HorizonIQ Climate Intelligence

    Understand climate risk at the property level.

    Measure current and future exposure to wildfire, river flood, surface flood, coastal flood, severe wind and extreme heat for one property or an entire portfolio.

    Geospatial evidence — hazard exposure mapped to individual property footprints.

    Physical climate hazards

    Six hazards, modelled for every address.

    • Wildfire

      Exposure from fuel, slope, proximity and historic fire behaviour.

    • River & surface flood

      Fluvial and pluvial exposure modelled at the property footprint.

    • Coastal flood

      Storm surge and sea-level exposure for coastal properties.

    • Severe wind

      Wind speed return periods and structural vulnerability.

    • Extreme heat

      Heat-day frequency and indoor overheating potential.

    • Compound risk

      Where multiple hazards intersect on the same property.

    “By focussing on a deep data warehouse, they have developed a solution that will allow insurers, financial institutions and homeowners to make timely decisions to make the investments that will reduce risks and costs.”

    What HorizonIQ returns

    From one property to an entire portfolio.

    • Annual probabilities

      The modelled likelihood of each hazard affecting the property in a given year.

    • Return-period intensity

      Hazard intensity at standard return periods so exposure can be compared consistently.

    • Future climate scenarios

      Forward-looking exposure under recognized emissions and warming scenarios.

    • Portfolio accumulation

      Aggregated exposure across a book of properties, by hazard and geography.

    • Model confidence

      Confidence indicators and documented limitations alongside every score.

    • Mitigation opportunities

      The property-level improvements that measurably reduce exposure.

    HorizonIQ supports regulatory and disclosure work, including climate scenario analysis and financed-emissions reporting. Model confidence, sample coverage and limitations are documented alongside every output.

    “If we are really going to scale energy retrofits across North America, we need to use machine learning and AI to identify highest energy and carbon using buildings, develop retrofit programs, and support homeowners in making wise decisions.”
