Artificial Intelligence
Machine learning
Big data
Internet of Things (IoT Sensors)
Cloud computing

To create cost savings by reducing and even eliminating existing costs, create greater efficiencies for the operation and maintenance of real estate assets, as well as, improve the design of new builds.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has served to significantly increased the demand for PropTech in the commercial real estate market as follows:

The need for solutions to get workers back into workplace buildings and offices. Specifically, the need to identify bacteria and viruses in indoor air quality, as well as, the ability to sanitize immediately and effectively.
The need to create even greater cost savings and efficiencies for real estate owners that will continue suffering losses until workers significantly return to the workplace.

COVID-19 STRATEGY

As businesses return to the office, property managers must think about the design and safety of their buildings for occupants. Traditional cleaning methods are ineffective at preventing transmission. UV technology is able to sanitize all surfaces free from pathogens. UPI is capitalizing on this opportunity by building and acquiring UV technology as it is the best in the market to administer and integrate it into healthy buildings in Canada.

HOW BIG IS THE PROPTECH MARKET?

COVID-19 Opportunity: Air & Surface Disinfection Technology

Pandemic response has created the need to identify bacteria and viruses in indoor air quality, and disinfect immediately and effectively.

Traditional cleaning methods are ineffective at preventing transmission of COVID-19, which occurs through contact with infected surfaces.

Building cleaning staff aren’t able to wipe down entire surfaces but UV technology and ionization is able to disinfect air and surfaces free from pathogens.

UPI is building and acquiring this technology as it is the best in the market to administer and integrate it into healthy buildings.
