																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SmartThings Energy, a new service within Samsung Electronics’ Internet of Things (IoT) app, allows users to take control of their energy consumption by providing real-time information on where and how energy is being used within the home.</p>
<p>Thanks to extensive growth of its partnership network, SmartThings Energy is growing into a smart energy management solution able to encompass the energy consumption of every appliance in a home, and even integrates such newer, renewable energy sources as solar.</p>
<p>Read on to learn more about this innovative new service and how it is empowering consumers to make smart decisions that reduce both their energy bills and their carbon footprint.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>SmartThings Energy: The Smart Way to Manage Energy Usage</strong></span></h3>
<p>SmartThings Energy’s core capability is its ability to monitor and analyze the energy used by devices and appliances connected to the SmartThings platform. Users are provided with a comprehensive view of how their devices use energy so they can take control of their energy consumption and reduce their monthly energy bill.</p>
<p>Not only can the service be harnessed to automatically switch appliances to low energy mode and prevent appliances from running when no one is at home, the service can also notify you when your energy consumption exceeds monthly targets. SmartThings Energy can also use energy billing system information, including peak time rates, in order to help you adjust your energy usage and subsequently minimize energy costs.</p>
<p>Available in Korea, India, the U.S. and the U.K., SmartThings Energy currently supports most Samsung Home Appliances and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) products. In the future, SmartThings Energy is set to expand into more regions and support compatibility with a range of Works With SmartThings (WWST) 3<sup>rd</sup>-party partners.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>Fostering Partnerships for More Powerful Smart Energy Management</strong></span></h3>
<p>When developing their smart energy management solution, Samsung envisaged SmartThings Energy as a way to empower users to be able to control the way energy is used throughout their homes and make smarter, greener decisions at home.</p>
<p>“We are pursuing partnerships with major energy providers around the world to provide a comprehensive view of energy consumption through SmartThings Energy,” noted Chanwoo Park, Vice President and Head of IoT Business group at Samsung Electronics. “We believe that through these partnerships, SmartThings users will be able to make more informed choices about their energy consumption that will not only save them money but also help them lead a more eco-conscious lifestyle.”</p>
<p>These partnership efforts kicked off with two major agreements recently announced in Korea. The first, made with Korea’s largest electric utility company, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), will provide energy usage information from KEPCO to SmartThings Energy for users who have given consent, meaning that users will have access to information about their entire homes’ energy consumption beyond just those devices connected to SmartThings. This service will be available for users in Korea starting later this year.</p>
<p>This development will set the groundwork for allowing whole home energy monitoring with Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI), or smart meters, through SmartThings Energy in regions around the world.</p>
<p>The second agreement, announced in early July 2021, is a partnership between SmartThings Energy and Q CELLS, a global leading solar manufacturer. Under this agreement, SmartThings Energy will be able to connect to Q CELLS’ solar modules, energy storage systems, and energy management systems. Once this solution is available, users will be able to monitor and control how they generate, save and use solar power, optimizing their energy consumption for both cost efficiency and sustainability.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080"><strong>The SmartThings Ecosystem: Working Together for the User and the Environment</strong></span></h3>
<p>SmartThings Energy is one of the latest services available on the SmartThings platform, which currently consists of such handy smart solutions as SmartThings Cooking, Clothing Care and Air.</p>
<p>When such solutions and services come together with Samsung’s range of leading intelligent home appliances, mobile and wearable devices and other lifestyle products, users can not only customize their lifestyles in ways that prioritize a more sustainable future, but also enjoy optimal convenience and efficiency in their routines, home management and more.</p>
<p>The introduction of the SmartThings Energy platform as a complement to the existing SmartThings ecosystem and associated devices is the next step in the journey towards totally personalized and sustainable living. Stay tuned to Samsung Newsroom for the latest news about SmartThings Energy and the SmartThings ecosystem as it continues to grow.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With rising concerns over carbon emissions and wasteful energy consumption, the efficiency of commercial buildings has become a critical area of focus for the construction industry. As a result, HVAC manufacturers are beginning to develop green and efficient technologies and are redesigning their product offerings to decrease running costs, with a focus on sustainability.</p>
<p>As a key figure in the industry, Samsung is committed to helping consumers achieve greater energy conservation with its sustainability-centric, eco-friendly <a href="https://news.samsung.com/in/samsung-electronics-ushers-in-a-new-era-in-the-air-conditioning-technology-2/" target="_blank">HVAC innovations</a>.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">A Circular Design for Enhancing Performance </span></h3>
<p>Utilizing inventive designs is one way Samsung is working toward enhancing efficiency.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/360-cassette-brings-an-air-of-style-to-heating-and-cooling-industry" target="_blank"><strong>360 Cassette</strong></a>, for example, is an innovative, bladeless system that incorporates an industry-first circular design for an even airflow and stylish aesthetic. Unlike conventional indoor units that use blade rotations to control the direction of air, the 360 Cassette integrates a Booster Fan that uses pressure to generate a complete, horizontal airflow that works to eliminate cold drafts.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-80227" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/System-AirCon-360_Main_1.jpg" alt="System AirCon 360_Main_1" width="705" height="233" /></p>
<p>Samsung’s circular air wave consistently controls the temperature of the room by providing an even distribution of air across a full 360-degree range. Bladeless flow control allows for a 39 percent increase in coverage area by delivering 100 percent of air volume, compared to traditional four-way cassette units, which can lose up to 25 percent of air volume.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Small Size, Big Efficiency</span></h3>
<p>Samsung’s System Air Conditioning units like the 360 Cassette rely on outdoor units to function. But conventional outdoor units are not without their limitations, as many of them take up large amounts of space.</p>
<p>Because of this, inverter-type air conditioners are becoming increasingly popular, as they occupy less space and can achieve greater efficiency at lower costs when compared to traditional AC systems. Furthermore, they are integrated with a variable speed compressor that switches off once the desired temperature is reached and switches on when the temperature changes, thus providing energy savings.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-electronics-drives-paradigm-shift-in-air-conditioning-technology-forward-with-new-range-of-products" target="_blank"><strong>DVM S</strong></a> is the first air conditioning system to achieve 30HP (84kW) per unit by including a new Super Inverter Scroll Compressor with flash injection technology that improves its performance by as much as 21 percent compared with conventional products.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-80226" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/System-AirCon-360_Main_2.jpg" alt="System AirCon 360_Main_2" width="705" height="470" /></p>
<p>Samsung developers spent four years researching ways to maximize the outdoor unit’s efficiency. To minimize its size, they reduced the number of compressors from three to two. Also, they improved the efficiency of air and heat exchange by separating the pins from the heat exchanger. The resulting product weighs 29 percent less and occupies 40 percent less space.</p>
<p>“For mid- to large-sized buildings, the best HVAC system is one that takes up the least amount of space,” said Iloh Bae, Samsung System Air Conditioning B2B Product Manager. “Conserving space not only decreases one’s early-stage investment but also extends the lifecycle of the building, helping to secure profitability.”</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-80228" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/System-AirCon-360_Main_5.jpg" alt="System AirCon 360_Main_5" width="705" height="470" /></p>
<p>The <strong>DVM Chiller</strong>, meanwhile, combines an air-cooled chiller with Inverter Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) in a compact unit. Because it does not require a separate cooling tower, it is capable of dramatically decreasing the required size of the installation area by 21 percent. Furthermore, basic models can be combined in different ways to extend capacity up to 320 tons.</p>
<p>“There are many challenges in installing System Air Conditioning in old structures,” noted Wansoo Yang, Senior Engineer of the System Air Conditioning R&D Lab. “Simply changing the outdoor unit can significantly improve efficiency. The DVM Chiller is very useful in this case, particularly for buildings that store heat.”</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-80225" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/System-AirCon-360_Main_3.jpg" alt="System AirCon 360_Main_3" width="705" height="470" /></p>
<p>Similarly, the <strong>DVM S ECO</strong> is a maximum capacity side discharge VRF air conditioner engineered to deliver a single outdoor unit solution for apartment and office buildings. The innovative design of the product features a robust Inverter Scroll Compressor and corrugate fin, which improve heating performance by 20 percent and increases airflow by 10 percent compared to standard side discharge VRF units.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-80230" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/System-AirCon-360_Main_6.jpg" alt="System AirCon 360_Main_6" width="705" height="470" /></p>
<p>From utilizing inverters to incorporating specialized designs, Samsung’s innovations in HVAC engineering are set to transform the air conditioning marketplace by boosting energy efficiency, maximizing space and ensuring sustainable development.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The air-conditioning (AC) industry is currently experiencing a range of changes and challenges as the market becomes more focused on improving energy efficiency and expanding into the smart building field.</p>
<p>Broadly speaking, commercial buildings make use of two types of AC systems, namely: central air-conditioning systems, which control overall indoor temperatures, and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, which provide temperature control for individual rooms and spaces. The former provides a type of ready-made air conditioning, while the latter offers a more adaptive, tailor-made system.</p>
<p>With the addition of in AC products designed for family use, central air-conditioning and VRF systems comprise the top three global AC markets.</p>
<p>Recently, traditional VRF systems have received a further boost in the form of an improved network, enhanced functions and a range of sensors that all create more customizable Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, while at the same time decreasing overall energy consumption.</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics intends to provide the air-conditioning industry with a further boost by delivering innovative products that meet the demands of global consumers, especially in the commercial sector.</p>
<p>“As we enter the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), the industry will begin upon a new phase of practicality whereby construction, communication and other services will merge to offer customers the best ground-up experiences,” said Charles Park, Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Digital Appliances Business.</p>
<p>Park added, “Samsung has the ability to link its leading communication devices with innovative air-conditioning products, including HVAC solutions. That puts the company in a great position in terms of embracing the opportunities ahead.”</p>
<p><div id="attachment_71058" style="width: 716px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/360-Cassette-in-tex-free-shop-1_main.jpg"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-71058" class="wp-image-71058 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/360-Cassette-in-tex-free-shop-1_main.jpg" alt="360 Cassette in tex free shop (1)_main" width="706" height="484" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-71058" class="wp-caption-text">Samsung’s new 360 Cassette units operating at a duty free shop in Korea</p></div></p>
<p>Since October last year, Samsung has hosted a series of global roadshows, taking in 117 cities to showcase its air conditioning product range, inviting more than 9,000 B2B customers from 50 countries. Samsung met approximately 4,500 partners, winning a favorable response for its new high-end products, including the <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/360-cassette-brings-an-air-of-style-to-heating-and-cooling-industry">360 Cassette</a> unit.</p>
<p>“The 360 Cassette model guides air to form a complete and comprehensive, 360-degree horizontal dispersion, and preventing direct airflow onto individuals in the room. It also ensures fast, even cooling throughout interior settings,” said Park. “It has a very stylish design, so we are receiving a lot of orders from large franchisors like chains of cafés and luxury retailers.”</p>
<p>Conventional 4-way cassette systems, often used in coffee shops and hospitals, usually require wind deflectors to minimize cold air drafts. The 360 Cassette, on the other hand, eliminates the drawbacks of its predecessors, making a meaningful difference for indoor environments.</p>
<p>Although Samsung is something of a late bloomer in the AC market—one that boasts a century-long history—the company is rapidly emerging as an industry leader by applying unmatched technological innovations to its products.</p>
<p>At Milan’s Mostra Convegno Expocomfort 2016 (MCE), the largest HVAC exhibition in Europe, Samsung showcased its innovative AC solutions at work in real-life applications over 800 square meters of floor space—the biggest display at the expo—from March 15-18.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With Internet of Things (IoT) technology expanding beyond the home to all types of buildings, Samsung Electronics is at the forefront of creating a new type of “smart building.” As part of this transformation, Samsung is planning to release its Smart Vertical Solution (SVS) system this year, which focuses on improving buildings’ HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Why Smart Buildings?</span></h3>
<p>HVAC and lighting facilities generally account for about 70 percent of the total power consumption in a building. And much of that is because of the centralized HVAC systems, which can only turn on and off for the entire building. This is where Samsung’s Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) air-conditioning (AC) products and SVS can step in, turning conventional buildings into intelligent ones, cutting down on energy waste and making our lives more convenient.</p>
<p>Samsung plans on concentrating supplying VRF and SVS systems to five major types of buildings, including offices, retail shops, hotels, campus buildings and residences. Once installed, the SVS analyzes and controls the HVAC system, lights, power supply and machinery in a building to maximize energy efficiency.</p>
<p>The SVS also allows large coffee and fast-food franchises to remotely monitor the HVAC environment in all their independent shops, setting the temperature or turning the lights on and off at their discretion, depending on the season or opening hours of each shop. Should trouble occur in the HVAC system at any shop, the SVS can immediately detect it and allow the user to take responsive measures.</p>
<p>For hotels, the SVS gives guests convenient access to HVAC, lighting, and door-lock controls through the smart TV in their room. This solution also provides the hotel staff an easy way to check the empty rooms, which can save up to 30 percent on energy usage.</p>
<p><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Hospitality-Display_Main706.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-71116" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Hospitality-Display_Main706.jpg" alt="Hospitality Display_Main706" width="706" height="350" /></a></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Making Smart Buildings a Reality</span></h3>
<p>The smart building is not a concept for the distant future. Samsung has already engaged in collaborations with global hotel chains and franchises, and is conducting on-site tests and inspections to ensure its SVS system will soon be fully functional.</p>
<p>Samsung is also preparing to implement smart facility management for large-scale stadiums and other buildings. The company has signed a contract to supply a customizable HVAC system based on VRF technology with smart facility management for the Brussels Eurostadium, which is now under construction and is scheduled to host several matches in UEFA Euro 2020.</p>
<p>In addition, Samsung is looking to use IoT-based solutions to create smart super-large buildings. The company is applying smart-building solutions to the Warsaw Spire, a 220-meter-high skyscraper due to be completed in 2016. The building will be a next-generation smart building, offering occupants the latest and best conveniences while saving energy through the intelligent analysis of machinery operations and power consumption, as well as the HVAC system and lighting.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_71172" style="width: 716px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Warsaw-Spire.jpg"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-71172" class="wp-image-71172 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Warsaw-Spire.jpg" alt="The Warsaw Spire will be completed in 2016." width="706" height="470" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-71172" class="wp-caption-text">The Warsaw Spire, due to be completed in 2016.</p></div></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080">Maximizing Synergies Within Samsung</span></h3>
<p>The smart HVAC system works for organic, flexible structures that are fully networked throughout the building’s lighting and electronics—including TVs, mobile devices and computers—to form an intelligent control system. As Samsung has a comprehensive ICT business portfolio that includes HVAC solutions, TVs and digital appliances, mobile devices, network systems and semi-conductors, the company is putting maximum efforts into bringing together its diverse lineup and deep knowledge across a range of electronics to take the lead in the evolution of HVAC systems.</p>
<p>For example, Samsung is supplying Hospitality Management Solution (HMS), offering TV sets and HVAC solutions in a package to gain a larger presence in the hotel market—which is also one of the main targets of the SVS. Because HMS easily turns the typical hotel room into a smart one, it is gaining much popularity among global hotel chains. As Samsung is also the world leader in TV sales to hotels and in commercial displays, the potential for additional synergies with smart HVAC systems is seen in the years ahead.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_71117" style="width: 716px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/MCE-2016_Main706.jpg"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-71117" class="wp-image-71117 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/MCE-2016_Main706.jpg" alt="MCE 2016_Main706" width="706" height="470" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-71117" class="wp-caption-text">An employee introduces Samsung’s Integrated Facility Controls at MCE (Mostra Convegno Expocomfort) 2016.</p></div></p>
<p>The Warsaw Spire is another example of Samsung bringing together the R&D capabilities of its different businesses to create an intelligent building. Samsung’s project team is developing a smart building platform which connects everything in a building with IoT technology, and the Warsaw Spire will be the first showcase embracing Samsung’s new platform.</p>
<p>“Conventional HVAC systems, which have lasted for several decades, will completely transform into intelligent ones through IoT technology from this year,” said Brian S. Kim, Director of Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “Combining our innovative products and IoT capacity, Samsung will take the lead in making buildings more intelligent with a variety of tools, including the new SVS and smart building platform.”</p>
