Cause of death: the autopsy

A pass/fail on a building's energy-code compliance amounts to official plan-review sign-off, too much liability. The government already gives away COMcheck and REScheck free.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
