VANCOUVER, January 8, 2019 – Universal mCloud Corp. (TSXV:MCLD) (OTCQB:MCLDF) (“mCloud” or the “Company”), a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence and Analytics solutions for IoT-connected asset care technology, further to its announcement on August 29, today announced that its partner, SCN Ltd. (“SCN”), has secured a 9 year contract with Heiwado to implement AssetCare HVAC at one of its shopping centres in Changsha, Hunan Province, China.
Heiwado is a Japanese department store operator and strategic customer of SCN. Heiwado has entered into a 9-year AssetCare subscription for its store #2, a six-floor shopping centre in Changsha. This centre includes retail spaces, a supermarket, and an open central atrium. Currently, 41% of the building’s energy usage is attributed to HVAC. This contract will include the optimization of two 650 ton electric chillers, two absorption chillers, 35 air handling units, two cooling towers and other related equipment. The size of this location and its current energy usage present an optimal opportunity for mCloud to apply and demonstrate its AssetCare solution in China.
As announced in mCloud’s April 3, 2018 press release, the Company is partnering with SCN to bring its Smart Buildings HVAC solutions to China. SCN is one of the top 20 commercial building contractors in China with a well-established reputation for its high-quality design and construction work and innovative building technology. SCN has received multiple prestigious awards in China and holds the highest business ranking in the People’s Republic of China.
“SCN drives growth for mCloud in the China market,” Said Russel McMeekin, President and CEO of mCloud. “Their relationships with some of the largest retailers in the country, including a top Fortune 500 retailer with over 50 malls in the region, will enable us to systematically add new locations with numerous assets which will form the basis of our China Market expansion initiative.”
mCloud is immediately mobilizing its implementation team to work with SCN and begin executing on the contract. The mCloud team will be onsite later this month. The financial terms of this contract are not material to mCloud’s business as defined by the regulations.
