Alberta Government Facility Condition Index Ratings By Building Type

Government of Alberta data reports the physical condition of state-owned or supported facilities using a 5-year extended Facility Condition Index (FCI). The FCI translates maintenance cost ratios into good, fair, and poor condition ratings, with percentages calculated based on the total square metres of buildings within each facility type.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of good, fair, and poor FCI ratings across facility types like health facilities and schools to prioritize capital planning.
• Model the relationship between a facility's replacement value and its projected 5-year maintenance costs using the FCI ratio.
• Compare the total square metres of buildings in poor condition versus good condition to assess aggregate infrastructure risk.

Strengths

• Data employs a standardized 5-year extended Facility Condition Index (FCI) for cross-facility comparison.
• Ratings are derived from a concrete methodology translating cost ratios into good, fair, and poor categories.
• Coverage includes major public facility types: health facilities, schools, post-secondary institutions, and government-owned buildings.

Limitations

• Dataset scope is limited to government-owned or supported facilities in Alberta, not the broader building stock.
• Lacks granular row-level data on individual facilities, presenting aggregated percentages by type.
