    Lightspark HomeIQ

    One intelligence layer. Multiple use cases.

    Behind every Lightspark experience is HomeIQ — our residential property intelligence platform.

    HomeIQ brings together property, building, energy, climate and upgrade data to create a richer understanding of individual homes and entire housing portfolios.

    That intelligence can power different experiences across the housing ecosystem.

    Intelligence to action

    From property intelligence to action.

    Data is only useful when someone can do something with it. That's why Lightspark connects intelligence with action.

    1. HomeIQ

      Understand the home.

    2. Identify the opportunity

      Energy · Upgrades · Financing · Risk · Resilience

    3. Engage

      Give people a simple, personalized path forward.

    4. Action

      Upgrade · Finance · Participate · Protect

    This creates a common intelligence layer across organizations that have traditionally approached the same home separately.

    A connected ecosystem

    The same home. A connected ecosystem.

    • A homeowner wants a more comfortable, affordable and resilient home.
    • A utility wants to reduce energy demand.
    • A bank wants to finance valuable improvements.
    • An insurer wants to reduce property risk.

    These aren't separate problems.

    They're different views of the same home.

    Lightspark connects the data, decisions and actions that bring them together.
