Aquicore has announced it is offering free use of a lite version of its cloud-based platform through Aug. 1, 2020. This program features a friction-less signup process and requires no hardware for users to gain access to features and reports designed to manage the atypical conditions of buildings during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“These extraordinary times require special oversight of commercial buildings. Accurate, up-to-date data and the ability to benchmark are critical to helping property teams react to the rapid changes the industry is experiencing,” says Logan Soya, founder and CEO of Aquicore. “I’m proud of the team’s ability to rapidly rise to the occasion and adapt our capabilities and features to the unique needs created by the pandemic. We’ve seen incredible interest in this information and are happy to offer free use of our product. We’re eager to help owners and property teams develop optimization strategies for their buildings under current conditions – and as facilities look to reopening.”
