VANCOUVER, April 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Universal mCloud
Corp. (TSX-V: MCLD) (OTCQB: MCLDF) ("mCloud" or the "Company"),
a leading provider of asset management solutions combining IoT,
cloud computing, artificial intelligence ("AI"), and analytics,
today announced the start of a six-year agreement with TELUS
Corporate Real Estate ("TELUS") to upgrade HVAC controls and deploy
AssetCare at one of their premier office towers, 200 Consilium
Place, in Scarborough, Ontario,
Canada.
Supported by strategic partner Cypress Envirosystems Inc.
("Cypress"), mCloud will upgrade and replace 450 legacy thermostats
with Cypress Wireless Pneumatic Thermostats (WPT) and Green Box
Controllers connected via mesh network to the building's main
control system. This configuration enables building engineers to
have complete, real-time visibility into temperature and schedule
settings, managing comfort across 14 TELUS office and call center
floors.
The upgrade is expected to reduce energy costs related to
heating and cooling by 25%, along with substantial reductions in
facility maintenance costs. AssetCare will provide fault detection
and diagnostics on zone-level dampers and actuators – building
systems that are crucial to occupant comfort and help building
engineers get ahead of potential heating or cooling issues.
"We're thrilled to put our partnership with TELUS into action by
upgrading one of their signature office towers," said Dave Weinerth, mCloud President, Smart
Buildings. "The intelligence we are adding to this office tower
through AssetCare's AI and analytics will yield tangible cost
savings and will serve as a great example for thousands of similar
legacy buildings across North
America."
