27.5 For the purpose of clause 27.6 an “AI System” means a machine-based system designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy and that may exhibit adaptiveness after deployment and that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments.
27.6 You may use Datasets to develop or train AI Systems where the purpose of that use satisfies clause 27.1 and 27.2, provided that such use does not generate outputs containing data, recommendations, or insights that replicate the utility and function of Datasets that We may offer to customers from time to time.
1.1 You may only use Datasets that include EPC Data for the following purposes:

(b) research to provide data, analysis and statistics intended to improve the understanding of energy efficiency of buildings or to facilitate innovation and improvement in use, design, materials and equipment to this end;
(c) research into the effectiveness or impact of energy efficiency improvements including those delivered through Government or other energy improvement programmes;
(d) promoting and marketing energy efficiency improvements that may be made through a Government energy efficiency programme or initiative;
(e) promotion and better understanding of the current energy efficiency of buildings and potential improvement in the building sale or rental markets and/or by building occupiers or users;
(f) to enable enforcement authorities to carry out enforcement duties as required by the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations (England and Wales) 2012 (SI 2012/3118);
