Asset Condition Index
Asset Condition Index summarizes documented component condition and, where applicable, functional performance; its method must be stated before scores are compared.
An asset condition index (ACI) summarizes an asset's operating condition using a defined method. The cited public-infrastructure methodology considers component condition and, where applicable, functional performance. For a property team, such a summary can inform a discussion of maintenance priorities and change over time.
The index depends on its assessment method and inputs. The cited methodology emphasizes competent assessors. A property team should state the scope, date, evidence and calculation before comparing scores; different methods do not necessarily produce comparable ratings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Asset Condition Index replace a condition assessment?
No. A condition assessment supplies observations about components; the index is a roll-up of defined evidence. A score without the underlying scope, method, and date should not be treated as a property diagnosis or investment recommendation.
