Closing the Data Gap
for Decarbonisation Strategies
Efficient
DATA COLLECTION
Digitize an entire building in less than one hour. You enter visible information we complete the process for you.
ACCURATE
DATA Completion
Thanks to our extensive database of several million synthetic buildings, CAPSA generates highly robust data.
Smart
Database
With every data input our database gains deeper understanding of your property and the generated data becomes more personalized.
What we do
CAPSA dramatically speeds up the collection of data needed to support strategic refurbishment planning and access corresponding funding.
By cataloging the building portfolio with CAPSA owners get a complete inventory overview of their building stock, including superior insights on the state of the building. Based on this CAPSA provides expert suggestions on what maintenance and refurbishment actions are needed to increase the energy efficiency of a building to save money and meet climate goals. CAPSA is therefore an indispensable tool for managing a building stock and planing refurbishment work.
Supporting building owners to manage their building portfolio
Save Time
Fast data collection. Digitize an entire building in one hour (compared to 40 hours via traditional approaches).
Increase Efficiency
Centralized data storage reduces administrative burden, overcomes sectoral fragmentation and leads to greater transparency.
Maintain Property Value
Follow our refurbishment suggestions and decarbonization roadmap to take proactive measures to maintain and increase the value of your property.
Access Funding
Provide the data needed to apply for EU funding programmes focused on decarbonization in the built environment.
About Us
We are a team of architects, software engineers and data scientists, with the vision to digitize the built environment to support climate targets and decarbonization of building stocks.
We support building owners in designing refurbishment and maintenance strategies. To overcome the lack of data on the physical make-up of buildings we created CAPSA – a robust and intuitive way to collect visual data on site without the need for experts. We are eager to work with our clients on building the data basis that unlocks great opportunities in the fields of maintenance, refurbishment, ESG and green finance. After all any refurbishment and maintenance strategy can only be as good as its data foundation.

Throughout 15 years in academia, lack of data has always been the biggest barrier to developing decarbonization strategies for building owners. We help building owners to overcome this problem and to provide them with access to strategies and green finance.
As a global leader in active, responsible investing we are looking for better quality information on the climatic impacts of the assets that we manage and advise on (1,7tril. Eur). To ensure compliance these projects need to be well documented. Empirical data on the future performance of the building we will lend against needs to be available. This is exactly what CAPSA delivers.
Energy consumption data, based on the real physical characteristics of buildings, plays a major role in decision-making or energy-related refurbishment plans. Financial institutions also need solid figures to evaluate investment plans.

We have very high ambitions for the carbon reduction in our portfolio. CAPSA delivers the method and tools for its implementation and links to the funding we will need to meet our ambitions

The short answer is our extensive database, built with the highest level of architectural expertise and integrated algorithms and statistical models.
To be more precise, we understand buildings. There are correlations and causalities that produce plenty of data. Strong linear correlation between the net surface area and the total window area; the year of construction and the efficiency of the machinery provide a straightforward . Some causalities are more complex than others. The insulation material inside the walls for instance requires several parameters for CAPSA to provide a highly robust estimate. CAPSA knows how each data point entered correlates to the building as a whole and deducts missing data points based on empirical research. These models are backed up by our ever-growing database incorporating more than XXnumberXXX buildings across Europe.
Our models provide a high level of accuracy (standard deviation <3). Because we know, that only accurate data is valuable data.
We have several mechanisms in place to guarantee reliable data for every single building.
- Users can enter consumption data. Consumption data is a reliable indicator of a buildings energetic behavior. Together with the primary data entered, it provides a sound basis on which generated data will be cross checked, verified and if necessary adjusted.
- Users can replace generated data with real data. Since our database continuously learns and develops, these corrections will increase the accuracy of generated data in the future.
Transparency and accuracy are at the core when communicating data. We created the Data Robustness Index (DRI) to communicate the level of data reliability. The DRI consists of four components: data collection, data deduction, completion of missing data, and cross-checking via consumption data. Each of the four components has been assigned a value, which determines its relative contribution to the index. In order to achieve a DRI of 1, each step has to be fully completed.
We take data protection seriously. Cyber security is on the top of our agenda, and we guarantee the maximum level of data security.
Your data exclusively belongs to you. We manage it for you, but we do not own any of your data. We do not share or sell your data to third parties. Your data is encrypted and stored inside our safe firewall. Each user has their own domain and can control who can access and edit the data.
