Model a replacement or retrofit before you fund it
Edviro builds a model of each building from its bills, meter readings, BMS points, asset records and work orders. You can simulate a replacement, a retrofit or a schedule change against that model, and rank capital projects by payback on your own usage.
What is capital planning software for buildings?
It’s software that helps a facilities team decide which building investments to fund, and in what order. Edviro builds a model of each building from bills, meters, BMS points, weather, tariffs, asset records and work orders, then simulates replacements, retrofits and schedule changes against it. Projects are ranked by payback on your actual usage, and the result is measured after the work is done.
How it works
Model
The model is recalibrated every night against metered data, with no extra setup.
Simulate
Try repair against replacement, retrofits, schedule changes and rate changes.
Decide
You get a ranked plan with the evidence behind each line.
Fund
Each project gets an owner, a funding source and a budget.
Verify
After install, the result is measured against the baseline.
What you get
Two lines from a ranked plan
Replacing it in FY27 costs $293k, against $412k to keep repairing it. Payback is 6.2 years.
Occupancy controls cost $119k, against $186k over 10 years to leave the lighting as it is. Payback is 3.1 years, based on measured after-hours use.
Each funded project is measured against the baseline.
Common questions
What is a digital twin of a building?
In Edviro it means an operating model of how your building actually behaves, built from bills, meters, BMS points, weather, tariffs, occupancy, asset records and every fix. It isn’t a 3D drawing.
Where does the maintenance history come from?
From the work orders. Every order, inspection, repair and cost is logged against the asset, and repeat failures are flagged for repair-or-replace review.
What can Edviro simulate?
Replacement against repair, controls upgrades and LED retrofits, schedule and setpoint changes, rate and tariff changes, and additions such as a new wing or an electrified fleet.
How do I know the projections are trustworthy?
They use the same baseline as M&V, calibrated against your meter data. Every recommendation you act on is measured afterwards, so you can compare the projection with what happened.
How does this help with budget and bond planning?
You bring the board a list ranked by modeled payback on your own data. Later you can show the measured results for what was funded.
Can data centers use capital planning?
Yes. You can simulate cooling capacity and headroom before adding racks or replacing CRAH units and chillers.
