mCloud Reaches 15th Branded Corporate Chain using AssetCare™ Artificial Intelligence ("AI") HVAC Cloud Solution

Major Client Brands Include Dairy Queen and Great Harvest Bread
Solution Deployed at Over 250 Retail Locations Across North America
Energy Savings of More Than 15% Achieved in a Number of Locations

VANCOUVER, April 2, 2018 /CNW/ - Universal mCloud Corp. (TSX-V: MCLD) ("mCloud" or the "Company"), a leading provider of IoT-connected, asset-care technology solutions, is pleased to report on one of its customers' feedback and savings as a result of its AI-driven, energy optimization and performance management program for critical HVAC asset management.

As part of its AssetCare^TM offering, mCloud employs AI not only to monitor HVAC asset health, but also to identify and drive energy reduction in real-time while simultaneously optimizing asset performance.

"mCloud has built a cloud-based solution which leverages AI and analytics whereby algorithms continuously learn and adapt to accurately represent the energy asset," stated Russel McMeekin, President and CEO of mCloud. "Once the AI algorithm is 'trained', AssetCare^TM optimizes real-time operation while maintaining the desired comfort level, providing 24/7 vigilance and systematically identifying the smallest deviation in asset performance."

Early adopters such as Dairy Queen and Great Harvest Bread have reported robust results with significant energy savings as a result of implementing AssetCare^TM. The main goal is to reduce energy costs across their asset portfolios, while enabling automated methods to manage and optimize asset maintenance costs.

Jim Adison, Operation Manager at Jonmar Inc. who operates six Dairy Queen Franchise locations in Las Vegas, noted,  "mCloud has delivered on their promise and commitment of reducing our energy costs. We were surprisingly pleased with the insights into our stores' HVAC operations in ways that we hadn't imagined." The company started its implementation process in 2017 and has reported a total energy savings of over 15%. Jonmar Inc. plans to extend AssetCare^TM to all its stores in 2018.  Dairy Queen Corporation has over 6,400 stores in more than 25 countries, 70% of which are located in the United States.

These results are in line with the patterns observed by other mCloud clients.  Once the reduction in cost is demonstrated in one location, implementation of AssetCare^TM across the entire franchise is the next logical step.
