Capital planning
Test the project before you spend the budget.
Every bill, meter reading, BMS point, asset record, and work order builds a living model of your building. Simulate replacements, retrofits, and schedule changes against it, and rank capital projects by real payback before committing a dollar.
Evidence, not gut feel
Capital decisions, made with evidence.
Most capital plans run on equipment age, vendor quotes, and instinct, while the data that could answer replace-or-repair sits in bills, spreadsheets, BMS exports, and work-order systems. Edviro already pulls it into one place to run the buildings; the capital plan is what it compounds into.
- Asset records and equipment history accumulate as work is completed; repeat failures flag repair-or-replace review.
- Projects carry an owner, a funding source, and a budget, so the multi-year list traces back to what happened in the buildings.
- That is the link between today's work order and tomorrow's facilities operations plan.
How it works
A model that learns, simulations you can defend.
Replace versus repair, answered from your own meter data before the purchase order.
Every source Edviro already reads, and every fix it verifies, keeps the model of each building current.
Replacements, retrofits, schedule changes, and rate scenarios run against the model, with payback from your real usage.
A ranked plan for the board with the evidence behind each line, then verified results once the work is done.
Where simulation matters most
Capital planning questions
Frequently asked
What is a digital twin of a building?
A digital twin is a living operational model of how your building actually behaves, built from the data Edviro already collects: bills, meters, BMS points, weather, tariffs, occupancy, asset records, 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.
Where does the maintenance history in the capital plan come from?
From the work itself. Every work order, inspection, repair, and cost is logged against the asset as the team completes it, so repeated failures and rising repair cost show up on the equipment record automatically. Edviro flags those patterns for repair-or-replace review and carries the evidence into projects and multi-year priorities—no separate data-gathering exercise before budget season.
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.
