Founding story
Atrium was founded to solve a simple but costly problem: commercial building owner/operators are drowning in rising utility expenses without clear, trusted guidance. Too often, they faced sales pitches from vendors or one-off audits that never turned into real financial results.
We built Atrium as an AI-based, engineering-led platform to uncover the truth about energy and water costs, and to align every solution with the owner’s bottom line. Our mission is to deliver data-driven savings and long-term value, not vendor-driven solutions.
Owners told us they didn’t need another vendor pitch or a consultant’s report. They needed a trusted partner who could turn their energy data into cash flow improvements without the hassle of managing multiple vendors.
Atrium brings together time-series deep learning and conversational AI informed by deep engineering expertise to unlock cash flow across electric, gas, and water. The platform delivers results without added overhead or bias, giving owners one trusted source of truth while seamlessly orchestrating implementation and ongoing energy management.
