Atrium Energy is on a mission to reduce operating costs for the millions of mid-sized commercial buildings that lack in-house energy managers—and waste tens of thousands of dollars each year on inefficiencies.

Founded by Sri Sukhi, a former executive in residence at Johnson Controls, Atrium began with a clear insight: traditional energy efficiency services are too manual, too expensive, and too slow to scale. Atrium is already piloting its integrated model with hotels and hospitality properties, delivering 30–50% reductions in energy and water costs across active projects. By blending predictive software, real-time data from utility APIs, and a curated marketplace of vendors and financing partners, Atrium delivers energy upgrades with zero upfront cost—and immediate cash flow gains.

From lighting and HVAC to water use, ozone-integrated laundry systems, and even single-pane window retrofits, Atrium identifies layered savings opportunities and stacks them into comprehensive, financeable projects. This integrated approach—combining both capital upgrades and software intelligence—results in smarter buildings with stronger margins and lower emissions.

As Walter Simon, Atrium’s COO, explains: “Our goal is simple: reduce costs, reduce emissions, and unlock cash flow. We align our economics with our customers’ outcomes. When they save, we earn.”

The value proposition has resonated with hotel operators and other cost-sensitive property owners facing extreme weather, rising energy bills, and regulatory pressure. Atrium’s automation-first model enables scale with a lean team, and its low-touch, high-impact approach gives customers immediate results without disruption.

Through the CABI program, Atrium is refining its growth strategy, expanding market partnerships, and positioning itself as a scalable solution for decarbonizing the built environment—starting with the properties that need it most.
