# About Cadae

Cadae builds Performance Hotel Insights (PHI) so hotel groups can see how far each hotel is from its own best-in-class. Meet the team, based in London.

## Why we built it

Hotel teams have plenty of utility data and few ways to judge it. A hotel that used less energy than last year may still be far from what it needs; one that used more may simply have been busier, colder or fuller.

We built PHI to model what each hotel should need, measure the distance every month, and keep every figure behind that distance open to the people who rely on it.

## How we work

### Modelled hotel by hotel

Best in class is built from each hotel's own building, weather, facilities and activity.

### Reviewed by people

Cadae reviews every monthly result and states its confidence before publishing it.

### On the record

Published results are never edited. Corrections are new versions, with the reason shown.

### Clear about money

A gap is a gap; a saving counts only when it is verified.
