Making Energy Infrastructure Quality Visible

 

 

 

 

Infrastructure Quality Initiative (IQI)

 

 

Energy infrastructure includes the assets, facilities, networks, and systems-of-systems used to produce, process, convert, store, transport, transmit, distribute, and deliver energy.

 

IQI develops voluntary, non-regulatory standards, vocabularies, Context Guides, and analytical tools for understanding and determining the quality of these infrastructure objects.

 

IQI considers a defined Infrastructure Quality Object as a whole—its intended functions and intended results, internal composition, boundaries, interfaces, lifecycle and operating conditions, evidence, uncertainty, Critical Conditions, and the limits of any Quality Claim.

 

 

IQI Framework

 

IQI applies the Whole Quality methodology to connect:

 

Infrastructure Quality Objects
Intended Functions and Intended Results
Boundaries and Interfaces
Quality Factors and Quality Indicators
Quality Outcome Criteria and Evidence
Critical Conditions and Non-Compensability
Infrastructure Quality State Determination
Bounded Infrastructure Quality Claims

 

Together, these concepts make energy infrastructure quality visible, understandable, evidence-supported, and responsibly bounded.
