Performance Hotel Insights

Intelligent utilities management for the hospitality sector

The Challenge

The hospitality industry faces a complex utilities management landscape. As hotels operate 24/7 continuously with diverse energy demands across guest rooms, common areas, kitchens, laundries, and leisure facilities, they consume more energy and water than most commercial buildings.

With utility costs representing over 5% of total revenue and increasing faster than general inflation, effective utilities management has become critical to maintaining profitability. Simultaneously, hotels must meet growing sustainability expectations from guests, investors, and regulators.

The Cadae Platform

PHI is the foundation of a comprehensive platform designed to work across the entire utility management lifecycle—from identifying opportunities through to tracking goals and driving continuous improvement.

Four Concise Steps to Improving Performance

Our modules are designed to work together across the utility lifecycle:

1.Identify opportunities — PHI benchmarks performance and reveals improvement potential
2.Guide actions — BUGs provide expert workflows through JobWay.ai
3.Plan investments — POP calculates optimal capital deployment
4.Track & improve — ANT monitors continuously and triggers new investigations

About PHI

Performance Hotel Insights is a comprehensive benchmarking and analytics platform developed specifically for the hospitality sector. Drawing upon decades of operational experience across major hotel groups, PHI provides the intelligence needed to optimise energy and water consumption whilst maintaining guest comfort.

The platform evaluates property performance against evolving industry best practices and best available technologies, whilst accounting for factors unique to each hotel and facility configuration. Performance dashboards can be customised for each management level from CE level to GMs and Chief Engineers.

PHI — Performance Hotel Insights

Our proprietary algorithm normalises utility performance data across your hotel portfolio, accounting for property construction, climate, facilities, and occupancy. PHI reveals genuine underperformance and quantifies your savings potential—typically 25% improvement opportunity.

•Weekly performance index updates
•Portfolio-level dashboards with property drill-down
•Benchmarks against evolving industry best practice

BUGs — Building Utility Guides

Expert Guidance at Scale

Expert-written investigation and optimisation workflows delivered directly to your hotel teams. BUGs transform general managers and department heads into utility optimisation experts through structured, step-by-step guidance.

•Covers all major hotel services and utilities
•Designed to Educate, Engage, and Empower
•Continuously updated with emerging best practices

JobWay.ai — Smart Task Allocation

POP — Project Optimisation & Prioritisation

Goal-Directed Investment Planning

An AI-powered tool that calculates the optimum investment portfolio to maximise capital efficiency. POP analyses opportunities identified through BUGs and expert support, then prioritises based on your corporate goals.

•Business cases built for each opportunity
•Optimises for ROI, certifications, or cost reduction targets
•'What-if' scenario modelling

ANT — Automated Notifications & Tracking

Early Warning System

AI-powered monitoring that detects emerging problems and inefficiencies in days rather than months. ANT protects your gains and prevents major maintenance expenditures before they occur.

•Tracks changes in utility usage (weekly to intra-day)
•Identifies anomalies indicating gradual degradation
•Recommends appropriate BUG investigations

The Business Case for Utilities Management

Recent industry data underscores the urgency of effective utilities management:

•Electricity prices have risen 3.6% annually, with demand projected to increase further due to electrification trends
•Water and sewage costs are increasing 4% annually as infrastructure modernisation drives rate increases
•Operating expenses are growing at 6.6% annually whilst revenue growth averages only 2.6%
•85% of large companies now have net-zero emissions targets, creating pressure throughout supply chains

Hotels that fail to address energy & water efficiency risk both financial underperformance and reputational damage. Conversely, properties that embrace intelligent utilities management can achieve significant cost reductions whilst enhancing their market position through improved sustainability credentials.

Key Benefits
