Atlanta, Georgia, United States, October 9, 2025 — Acuity Inc. (NYSE: AYI), a market-leading industrial technology company, has been named a Smart Innovator in the 2025 Verdantix Smart Innovators: Energy Management Software report. Verdantix, a global independent research and advisory firm known for its rigorous approach to market analysis, evaluated 47 global providers for this comprehensive analysis.

The firm specifically highlighted Acuity’s cloud application Atrius Energy as a robust solution in energy monitoring and carbon management, and its analysts also gave high marks to the solution’s automation readiness and AI-powered analytics. Atrius Energy provides a centralized solution for collecting and analyzing energy data across multiple buildings and sites for detailed monitoring, reporting, and analysis of energy consumption patterns.

“Atrius Energy stood out in this year’s analysis for its strength in both energy monitoring and carbon management, two areas where buyer expectations are rising quickly,” said Henry Yared, Analyst at Verdantix and co-author of this report. “With a broad-functionality application that supports emissions tracking, energy optimization, and large-scale portfolio deployment, Atrius is well-positioned to meet the needs of real estate and sustainability leaders focused on operational performance and ESG compliance.”

The report noted that Energy Management Systems (EMS) buyers are increasingly seeking solutions that support real-time analysis, emissions tracking, and more precise alignment with operational and sustainability goals. Atrius was cited for its strong capabilities in these areas, in light of how its offerings support organizations in managing energy use and emissions across complex building portfolios. Verdantix identified Atrius as one of the few vendors addressing these challenges with both depth and agility.

“This recognition from Verdantix reinforces what we hear from our customers: Atrius products provide the solutions customers need to address energy management goals while improving day-to-day operations,” said Chelsea Babette Davis, Senior Product Manager at Acuity Inc. “We’re focused on making it easier for organizations to turn building data into practical, measurable insights that empower spaces to be smarter, safer, and greener.”

The Verdantix analysts also identified a shift in how organizations are selecting energy management platforms, with a clear preference for systems that combine functionality, data integration, and reporting in a single solution. Atrius Energy was called out for its alignment with these criteria as well as its ability to support both energy and sustainability teams.

Atrius supports organizations across commercial, healthcare, industrial, and education sectors. Its cloud-based applications, Atrius Energy and Atrius Sustainability, are designed to:

• Monitor energy usage and system performance across large, complex portfolios
• Provide building-level forecasts through machine learning
• Automate Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon reporting aligned with GHG Protocol, CDP, CSRD, and other global frameworks
• Connect seamlessly with building systems through open APIs
• Support broad deployment with flexible configuration

Beyond Atrius Energy, the brand’s offering includes its Atrius DataLab platform as well as industry-leading cloud applications including Atrius Facilities, Atrius Wayfinder, Atrius Locator, and Atrius Vision. These solutions work on an independent basis but can also be purchased together for a more comprehensive data-informed intelligent building management approach. The products enhance and secure building operations, improve occupant experiences, and help ensure resource utilization.
