Capital planning

Test the project before you spend the budget.

Every bill, meter reading, BMS point, and work order Edviro touches builds a digital twin of your building. Use it to simulate replacements, retrofits, and schedule changes, and rank capital projects by real payback before committing a dollar.

Capital decisions, made with evidence.

Most capital plans are built on equipment age, vendor quotes, and gut feel. The data that could answer the real questions — replace or repair? which retrofit pays back first? what does the new wing do to demand charges? — is scattered across bills, spreadsheets, BMS exports, and work-order systems where no one can use it.

Edviro already pulls that data into one place to run your buildings day to day. Capital planning is what it compounds into: a digital twin of each building, accurate enough to simulate an intervention and project its payback before you bring it to the board.

How it works

A twin that learns, simulations you can defend.

01 / Twin

Build the model

Every data source Edviro connects and every fix it verifies feeds a living digital twin of each building. No extra setup, it comes from running your operations.

02 / Simulate

Test the intervention

Run replacements, retrofits, schedule changes, and rate scenarios against the twin. See projected savings and payback from your real usage, not industry averages.

03 / Decide

Rank and prove

Bring the board a prioritized capital plan with modeled payback for each option, then verified results after the work is done.

Where simulation matters most

Schools →

Walk into budget and bond season with a ranked project list and the data behind it.

Real estate →

Prioritize capex across the portfolio by modeled payback, building by building.

Construction →

Compare the as-built twin to the design model and catch variance before handover.

Capital planning questions

Frequently asked

What is a digital twin of a building?
A digital twin is a living model of how your building actually behaves, built from the data Edviro already collects: bills, meters, BMS points, weather, tariffs, occupancy, and every work order and fix. It is not a 3D drawing. It is a model accurate enough to answer "what happens if we change this?" before you change it.
What kinds of interventions can Edviro simulate?
Equipment replacements versus repairs (replace Boiler #2 or keep tuning it), retrofits like controls upgrades or LED conversions, schedule and setpoint changes, rate and tariff changes, and additions like a new wing or electrified fleet. Each simulation returns projected savings, cost avoided, and payback against your real usage, not industry averages.
How do I know the projections are trustworthy?
Every projection uses the same learned baseline Edviro uses for measurement and verification, calibrated continuously against your actual meter data. And after you act on a recommendation, Edviro verifies the outcome against that baseline, so projections are checked against reality, and the model gets more accurate with every project.
How does this help with budget and bond planning?
Instead of ranking capital projects by age of equipment or gut feel, you rank them by modeled payback from your own data. When budget or bond season comes, you bring the board a prioritized list with projected savings, costs, and evidence, and later, verified results on what you already funded.
