SustainCo Inc. Announces a Collaboration with University of Ottawa for Pilot Project of Wireless Energy Monitoring System in Brooks Residence

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 26, 2015) - SustainCo Inc. (the "Company" or "SustainCo") (TSX VENTURE:SMS) and the University of Ottawa are collaborating on a pilot project to test the wireless monitoring system in Brooks Residence in order to reduce the overall utility consumption and increase social engagement among the student population.

The university is capitalizing on a prime opportunity to engage students, building operators and the Residence Management Board, as well as provide them with tools to manage the university's peak energy activities. Brooks Residence, which houses over 700 students in 202 units, paves a path for a dynamic sustainability program.

SustainCo is providing the design, equipment, installation, monitoring and analysis of real-time energy data for the university. With SustainCo's device level sensors and the analytics platform, SustainCo's system provides immediate awareness of real-time electricity costs and consumption based on daily activities, as well as empowers the users to bring about measurable change to support environmental sustainability.

"This low-cost wireless monitoring enables customers to drill into device-level data that they've not seen before, thus enabling customers and their users to make better and more educated decisions on their energy use," stated Emlyn J David, CEO of SustainCo. "This solution is a clear differentiator in the market place, and we continue to enlighten asset owners and managers of the possibilities to become more energy efficient."
