Afco installs ESG technology at 2 restaurants to optimise IAQ, energy efficiency

SAN FRANCISCO, USA, November 9, 2021

mCloud Technologies Corp, a leading provider of AI-powered asset management and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) solutions, today announced it has equipped two initial locations in Saudi Arabia - Casa Pasta and Chick “N” Dip restaurants - with mCloud’s AssetCare solution for HVAC and indoor air quality (IAQ).
 
Facilitated through its partnership with URBSOFT, a strategic provider of innovative urban technologies and services supporting the Saudi Vision 2030 initiative in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, mCloud will optimise the indoor air quality and energy efficiency in the restaurants.
 
Casa Pasta in Khobar City and Chick “N” Dip in the Dhahran Mall in Dhahran City are owned by Althawaqh Food Company (Afco) Restaurant Group which has more than 100 restaurants throughout Saudi Arabia. Plans are underway to expand AssetCare to other restaurants in the Afco portfolio.
 
“Through AssetCare, customers at select Afco restaurants will be able to scan a QR code to get live readings of the location’s indoor air quality before entering,” said Ibrahim Al-Hindawi, mCloud President, Mena.  “Our IAQ solution exceeds the standards and regulations set by health and building authorities around the world.  This is also the first implementation of our mCloud solution since we received our MISA license last month, which enables us to build a major regional center here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We look forward to helping businesses in the Kingdom achieve their ESG goals.”
 
“Implementing technology that supports sustainability and helps protect our customers is not only smart business, it is part of the Saudi Vision 2030 initiative in helping people live healthier lives,” said Ahmed Abdulaziz Alkadi, Afco CEO.  “We take pride in offering our customers not only quality food and service but a safe and comfortable place to visit.”
 
Through AssetCare, customers will benefit from safer indoor air through a combination of IoT-enabled 24/7 air quality monitoring and AI-driven connected air purification. The indoor air quality is capable of outperforming standard HEPA filtration by continuously eliminating up to 95% of harmful particulates and contaminants smaller than one micron in size.  In addition, the AssetCare HVAC and IAQ solution employs AI to drive HVAC energy improvements of up to 25%, cost savings from optimised maintenance, and reduce building energy waste.--TradeArabia News Service
