CAPSA Suite for real estate companies, owners, managers, investors and banks

Effective decarbonization of building and real estate portfolios requires reliable, centrally available data and a clearly structured process that supports owners and portfolio managers from data collection to implementation. With CAPSA, we are creating precisely this foundation. The combination of an app, secure database, and powerful insights portal makes it possible to easily capture building information, manage it centrally, and translate it into actionable strategies.

We support owners, managers, and developers of real estate portfolios with data, tools, and consulting. This enables us to create the following added value for you:

• Centralized, complete data basis: Collect, complete, and continuously update. Truly digital instead of PDF or paper-based.
• Automated derivations and models: Simple connection between building data, energy consumption, infrastructure, and possible measures.
• Tools for strategy and goal development: From individual buildings to portfolios—everything in one system.
• Seamless connection between strategic and operational levels: Clear overview, consistent data, easy collaboration.
• Integration of economic and technical aspects: Relevant key figures, feasibility studies, and measures prioritized according to impact and costs.

With our CAPSA Suite services, we offer you a solution that collects data, transforms data into decisions, and decisions into impact.

The 7 steps with CAPSA – Added value for owners and portfolio managers

1. Data collection – fast, understandable, and complete

CAPSA makes data collection easy: With the app, you can record just a few clearly observable data points directly on site. Everything else is derived automatically. This reduces effort, errors, and costs. Right from the start, you benefit from pre-recorded information, precise digital building models, and the ability to collect information simultaneously as a team. The result: a reliable data basis on which every further decision is based.    

2. Plausibility check – certainty instead of uncertainty

An error-free and complete data basis is an essential pillar of decarbonization strategies. CAPSA protects against this: visual feedback, 3D models, and automatic plausibility checks immediately detect deviations. For you, this means higher data quality with less effort and, as a result, better decisions.

3. Fast, intuitive analyses. Understanding scenarios instead of guessing

With its integrated analysis functions, CAPSA transforms raw data into understandable insights. The “Playground” environment allows you to playfully compare different measures or technologies and immediately see their effect on CO₂ reduction, energy requirements, or costs. This is supplemented by local infrastructure information, ensuring that strategies remain realistic and feasible.

4. Scenario development – decisions with backing

Our experts help you choose the right scenarios. We combine technical expertise, local conditions, regulatory requirements, and your individual preferences. In joint workshops, we create a clear basis for decision-making and develop a strategy that is ambitious, realistic, and feasible for your portfolio.

5. Portfolio analysis: clear priorities instead of complexity

For large portfolios, CAPSA offers automated processes to evaluate and prioritize measures for each building. Criteria such as “CO₂ savings per Swiss franc invested” provide you with a clear ranking of the most effective measures. Heat maps, roadmaps, and cost-benefit overviews help you quickly set priorities and plan investments in an informed manner.

6. Strategy management – flexibility for every building

There are always exceptions within a portfolio: different contract terms, special operational requirements, or specific tenant requirements. CAPSA makes it possible to adapt measures at the building level, incorporate alternatives, or record ongoing renovations. Maintenance work can also be documented digitally. This keeps the strategy alive, flexible, and realistic – without losing sight of the big picture.

7. Reporting – Transparency at the touch of a button

CAPSA automatically generates all data for ESG reports, CO₂ balances, and progress monitoring. Whether for internal control or external reporting, you receive structured, traceable, and exportable data – both for individual buildings and for the entire portfolio. This makes reporting possible without additional effort.

Your path to CAPSA

Would you like to improve your building data in order to quickly develop targets and strategies for decarbonizing your building stock? A good data basis is also essential for monitoring the impact of the measures and investments implemented. With CAPSA Suite, we address this need and offer the following services:

• App-based data acquisition: with a special app for phones or tablets, we enable facility managers and other people who are regularly on site to record the most important data on your buildings. The app uses pictures and image recognition and makes data entry easy. Further processing and interpretation take place in the back office, either by you or us. We offer the app together with our partner ChillServices: download the CAPSA2 app from an app store (Google Play, Apple App Store) and contact us for information about usage and testing for your building: contact form
• Smart procurement of data sources: we procure publicly available data sources efficiently. We collect other data with already available online surveys, which we adapt to your individual needs. Contact us.
• Closing data gaps: using statistical approaches, special routines and algorithms of the building stock model, we supplement data gaps to form a consistent picture. Every case is a little different: Contact us and we will be happy to address your questions and objectives.
