Powering Sustainable Hospitality

Combining decades of operational experience with advanced technology

Our Story

cadae was founded on the principle that effective energy management should be accessible to all hotels, regardless of size or technical expertise. Our team combines decades of operational experience in hospitality with advanced technology capabilities to deliver solutions that address real-world challenges.

Performance Hotel Insights emerged from direct experience managing utilities across major hotel groups. We understand the pressures facing hotel operators - from rising costs to sustainability requirements - because we've faced them ourselves. This practical foundation ensures our solutions deliver measurable results rather than theoretical benefits.
