Aico signals “groundbreaking” collaboration with The Guinness Partnership

The Guinness Partnership is committed to improve the living conditions and well-being of its residents by embracing advanced technology to monitor key environmental factors, among them temperature, humidity and CO₂ levels. By working with Aico, The Guinness Partnership will introduce smart sensors and data analytics to ensure proactive property maintenance and healthier environments for all residents.

As part of the initiative, both Aico and The Guinness Partnership will engage with residents through educational sessions and workshops, ensuring they understand the system and its benefits. This collaborative approach is key to achieving The Guinness Partnership’s goals.
