Universal PropTech Signs Agreement with EnPowered To Deliver AI-Driven Energy Savings

By: Newsfile

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 20, 2021) - Universal PropTech Inc. (TSXV: UPI) (OTCQB: UPIPF) (FSE: 8LH) ("UPI" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it entered into a partnership agreement ("Agreement") with En-Powered Inc. ("EnPowered"), a leading AI (artificial intelligence) energy platform company, that accurately predicts when electricity is going to be expensive, allowing large electricity users to reduce their usage during these expensive events. EnPowered has identified that for key industrial and commercial customers approximately 48% of electricity costs link to only a few hours a year. The Company and EnPowered will market to existing and new prospects to enable customers to optimize their smart HVAC and Building Controls to automatically adjust usage at the times energy is most expensive to dramatically reduce electricity costs and reduce carbon emissions.

"Beyond the impacts of a customer's own energy use, the electricity grid creates complicated charge structures that need to be managed well, and as a Trusted Advisor, we are delivering value beyond the smart meter," stated Frank Carnevale, Chief Growth Officer, Universal PropTech Inc. "Universal PropTech is proud to partner with EnPowered, a Canadian AI leader in managing electricity grid management."

Tomas van Stee, CEO and Founder, EnPowered stated, "We are excited to be working with Universal PropTech, a progressive and leading technology company. Together our products enable customers to access smart technology, reduce energy costs, and lower carbon emissions."

How it works?

EnPowered uses AI technology to accurately predict when electricity is going to be expensive, allowing large electricity users to reduce their usage during these expensive events. By working together, the savings unlocked by EnPowered for customers will enhance the return on investment on new and existing HVAC and Building Control Systems for the Company's customers, enabling customers to access additional savings by participating in the energy market. The Company will work with EnPowered to target large commercial and industrial businesses. EnPowered's customer base spans across multiple industries including, manufacturing, agriculture, hotels, colleges, municipalities, condos, data centers, and distribution centers.

The Agreement includes mutual referral fees for customer agreements, and the agreement may be mutually extended on an annual basis.
