																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-9325 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_How-Samsung-is-Modernizing-Buildings-with-Intelligent-HVAC-Solutions_SEAO-Feature-Story-Thumbnail-Image-1-2.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="546" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_How-Samsung-is-Modernizing-Buildings-with-Intelligent-HVAC-Solutions_SEAO-Feature-Story-Thumbnail-Image-1-2.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_How-Samsung-is-Modernizing-Buildings-with-Intelligent-HVAC-Solutions_SEAO-Feature-Story-Thumbnail-Image-1-2-768x419.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A single DVM S2 outdoor unit can connect up to 64 indoor units, minimizing the installation footprint, while with integrated Active AI the building’s operating patterns in real time to hold precise target temperatures and pressures.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ideal for retrofits, the DVM S2’s sub-cooling control and smaller main liquid pipe cut overall refrigerant charge by up to 30%<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>1</sup></span>— so one system can thread through an occupied building, with 10-plus indoor unit types<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>2</sup></span> to suit existing lobbies, guest rooms and open-plan floors, without major structural work.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paired with the DVM S2, SmartThings Pro enables multi-site monitoring, automated scheduling, energy analytics and reporting, and a customizable dashboard — so an entire estate runs from a single screen.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Across Southeast Asia and Oceania, thousands of office towers, hotels, malls and mixed-use developments were constructed before sustainability was ever a priority. With fluctuating climates across the region, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is the fastest-growing use of energy in buildings<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>3</sup></span> — and as electricity prices climb, these ageing properties grow more expensive to run every year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That makes HVAC systems the first place a retrofit should address. It is also the system most feasible for upgrading without structural work, so the return on investment materializes fast. Tearing a building down to start over, by contrast, is costly, carbon-intensive and slow. As such, a growing number of owners are now asking a different question: what if the smarter move is to upgrade what is already standing?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are hardware and management tools that can address this growing need. For instance, integrating Samsung’s AI-powered energy management solutions with its intelligent HVAC and connected building technology can help sharpen efficiency and extend a building’s life at once. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Samsung’s </span><b>DVM S2, Samsung’s Variable Refrigerant Flow system </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">connects a single outdoor unit to as many as 64 indoor units, reducing the new piping and structural work a retrofit demands, while </span><b>SmartThings Pro’s</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> AI Energy Mode can automatically adjust each connected device against real-time conditions, electricity rates and comfort levels. Together they turn an older property into a responsive, efficient asset — without major structural renovation.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>AI-enabled HVAC management: the fastest route to energy savings</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because cooling often carries the heaviest energy load in commercial buildings, it is where a retrofit pays back fastest.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xuedZtYaU2E?rel=0" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span></iframe></div>
<p><em>Preserving heritage, upgrading comfort: how the Bali Beach Hotel Sanur retrofitted Samsung’s DVM solution across lobbies, spa rooms and fitness centers</em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keen to balance historical preservation with guest comfort, the Bali Beach Hotel Sanur turned to Samsung’s DVM solution for space-tailored cooling — where temperatures are tuned to different environments like lobbies, spa rooms and fitness centers — paired with energy-saving technology and integrated B2B controls. With customizable systems and end-to-end support from consultation through to maintenance, the hotel was modernized without the upheaval a full mechanical overhaul would have forced on a heritage structure.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Where the DVM S2 goes further is efficiency. Rather than running at full capacity by default, the system learns a building’s cooling patterns to intelligently maintain the precise pressures and temperatures each space requires, effectively reducing compressor energy usage by up to 15%.<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>4</sup></span> Beyond hotels, a Bangkok office tower or a Sydney shopping center can also enjoy efficiency gains from the moment the system is calibrated to how the building operates.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The rise of buildings that learn to optimize themselves</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Historically, a retrofit was a single intervention whose performance declined gradually as conditions changed. Intelligent systems overturn that premise: the building continues to learn long after installation is complete. The DVM S2 continuously detects indoor conditions and responds in real time, while SmartThings Pro’s AI Energy Mode weighs live occupancy, weather and electricity tariffs to determine how hard each unit should work at any given moment.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The outcome is a building that adapts to how it is actually used — easing demand on unoccupied floors, and shifting load away from peak-tariff periods. These features ensure efficiency is maintained over time, so a building that once needed periodic recommissioning can keep tuning its own performance, season after season.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>How connected ecosystems reduce operating and maintenance costs</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The most significant long-term savings are often found not in kilowatt-hours, but in the service calls that never become necessary. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since the DVM S2 and SmartThings Pro operate on a single connected platform, a facilities team can oversee an entire estate from one dashboard: viewing real-time energy analytics, performance trends and early warnings that surface before a fault escalates into a failure.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Predictive maintenance and remote diagnostics can identify a struggling compressor or a refrigerant leak, allowing many issues to be resolved before an engineer is dispatched. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For owners running portfolios spread across cities, multi-site monitoring consolidates a dispersed estate into a single coherent view — this means fewer emergency repairs, reduced downtime and a maintenance program guided by real-time condition data rather than fixed intervals. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This connected ecosystem approach is being incorporated into new developments like Grantz Forest Park, a mixed-use project</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">led by Samsung&#8217;s B2B Integrated Offering Center. The development is planned for Cebu, the Philippines, where residential facility managers will be able to remotely check in on the status of facilities through SmartThings Pro, while the Samsung Building Integrated Solution &#8216;b.IoT&#8217; will enable control and management of HVAC, lighting, and power facilities to enhance building energy efficiency.  </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The path forward runs through buildings we already have</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s tempting to treat new construction as the only real form of progress. But in Southeast Asia and Oceania, where HVAC systems consume significant volumes of energy and thousands of buildings already stand, the bigger opportunity isn’t in what gets built next — it’s in upgrading what’s already there.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For building owners across Southeast Asia and Oceania, the question shifts from whether to modernize, to how they can retrofit existing structures. With AI-powered HVAC solutions from Samsung, the region’s offices, hotel buildings, mixed-used developments and more, can look forward to the benefits offered by efficient and intelligent HVAC systems.     </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In regions like Southeast Asia which has a growing industrial sector that increasingly requires B2B laundry solutions, washing and drying machines that can handle large volumes quickly and reliably, and efficiently use every square meter of floor space matter the most. Business owners are on the lookout for efficient appliances and systems to manage operations, and seek solutions with capabilities that can deliver the reliability and performance they expect. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Optimizing resource use and providing seamless and convenient maintenance support, Samsung’s new 30-inch washer and dryer are designed to meet diverse requirements across a range of business environments, including:</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Laundromats and self-service operators:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Rising incomes, urbanization and more one-person and two-income households are driving demand for time-saving laundry services like laundromats.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Hospitality and Medical Institutions: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Large capacity machines can support hotels, resorts, hospitals and their laundry partners to process large volumes of sheets, towels and linens quickly, handling heavy daily demand in fewer cycles. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Other businesses with laundry requirements:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Other operators such as beauty salons and spas benefit too, enjoying fast, reliable turnaround on linens and towels throughout the day without the need to engage outsource laundry services.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Samsung’s B2B Laundry solutions will be available across Southeast Asia and Oceania, starting in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, bringing Samsung’s expertise to laundry operators and other businesses in the region looking to upgrade their equipment and improve revenue models.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>POWERFUL AND FAST PERFORMANCE</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Built for businesses that handle large volumes of laundry every day, Samsung’s washer and dryer combine big capacity with shorter cycle times, so more laundry can be processed in fewer loads.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Launder Larger Loads: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Samsung B2B Washer has a spacious drum with a large 18kg capacity, so a huge amount of laundry – even heavy items like blankets, curtains, and comforters – can fit into a single load. When using a Normal cycle, a load can be completed in just 36 minutes<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>1</sup></span> while there are six cycles in total to pick from: Normal, Heavy Duty, Synthetics, Delicates, Clean Wash and Rinse+Spin.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Clean Thoroughly with Bubble Wash: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bubble Wash dissolves and activates detergent to create rich bubbles that are rapidly absorbed deep into fabric, enabling powerful washing. A super-strong water shot then thoroughly rinses away stubborn stains and detergent residue.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Faster Drying for more Time Savings: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Samsung B2B Dryer has a large 14kg capacity, and with a vent system, blankets, king-sized comforters and delicate fabrics can be quickly dried. It offers Normal, Heavy Duty, Synthetics and Delicates cycles, as well as 10- and 20-minute drying options.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<h2>ROBUST DESIGN FOR LONG-TERM DURABILITY</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The washer and dryer are engineered for stable performance and long-term use even when processing heavy loads.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Reliable Performance with Beltless Design: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Washer’s </span><b>Direct Drive motor with Inverter technology </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">is attached directly to the drum, making it efficient and stable. The beltless design helps enhance long-term durability and reliability. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>VRT+<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Reduces Vibration: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">VRT+<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> (Vibration Reduction Technology Plus) in the B2B Washer detects vibration using a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) sensor and reduces it with a ball balance system during washes<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>2</sup></span>, even at high spin speeds.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Designed to Last: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Dryer’s drum is made of durable, heat-resistant stainless steel. Unlike coated and plastic drums, it won’t get chipped or scratched, for example by metal zippers, so the surface stays smooth and gentle on clothes. It also won’t rust or discolor over time.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<h2>SPACE-SAVING AND SECURE STACKABLE DESIGN</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-9320 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Samsung-Expands-B2B-Capabilities-with-New-Large-Capacity-Washer-and-Dryer-_SEAO-Factsheet-Image-2-1.png" alt="" width="898" height="672" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Samsung-Expands-B2B-Capabilities-with-New-Large-Capacity-Washer-and-Dryer-_SEAO-Factsheet-Image-2-1.png 898w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Samsung-Expands-B2B-Capabilities-with-New-Large-Capacity-Washer-and-Dryer-_SEAO-Factsheet-Image-2-1-752x563.png 752w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Samsung-Expands-B2B-Capabilities-with-New-Large-Capacity-Washer-and-Dryer-_SEAO-Factsheet-Image-2-1-768x575.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 898px) 100vw, 898px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The washer and dryer are designed to fit a wide range of spaces, from narrow shops to full-scale laundromats, giving businesses the flexibility in how they lay out their laundry area.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Stackable Design for Efficient Use of Floor Space: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The B2B Dryer has a display kit at the bottom, so it can be stacked vertically on top of the Washer<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>3</sup></span> and stay securely in place. This frees up floor space and makes it possible to install multiple machines in a wide range of environments, including narrow spaces.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Reversible Door for Flexible Layouts: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The B2B Dryer’s Reversible Door can open from the left or right, allowing businesses to work around walls, doors and other fixture restrictions. When the washer and dryer are installed side by side, the doors can be installed to open in opposite directions for easy loading and unloading.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Different Power Options for Varied Operational Needs: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Dryer is available in both gas and electric models<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>4</sup></span>, providing enterprises with the option to pick a machine that best meets their requirements.  </span><b> </b></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>CONVENIENT MANAGEMENT THAT BOOSTS REVENUE AND KEEPS MACHINES CLEAN</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Built-in management features help business owners control earnings and keep machines in good condition with minimal effort.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Convenient Operations for Business Owners: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><b>Manager Mode </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">enables easy customization of laundry settings like adjusting washing duration, water levels, and spinning time.</span><b> </b></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Easy Maintenance of Washer and Dryer: </b>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The</span><b> Drum Clean</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> cycle keeps the inside of the B2B Washer clean without detergent. It combines soaking, pulsating and high-speed spinning to eliminate up to 99.9% of certain bacteria<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>5</sup></span> from the drum, while an ultra-powerful water jet reduces grime around the door. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The B2B Dryer’s vent sensor also monitors the air duct and notifies users when it needs cleaning, helping maintain consistent drying performance.</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3></h3>
<h2>CASE STUDY</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Samsung is strengthening its capabilities in the B2B sector and aims to meet diverse B2B demands by launching upgraded-capacity washing machine and dryer models, leveraging the expertise developed over decades in the design of small and medium-sized drum washers and dryers.

<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Samsung Bespoke AI Appliances and SmartThings can create more comfortable and manageable home environments across sleep, food, and household care. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">By automating decisions and reducing manual steps of daily household chores, intelligent appliances can give households more time and capacity to focus on the people and moments that matter.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sales of Samsung AI appliances have grown by more than 30% from 2024 – 2025 </span></li>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
Healthy living is often associated with choices about what we eat and how we exercise. However, wellbeing can also be shaped by the environments and routines we return to every day. For instance, in addition to diet and fitness, our health can be affected by our quality of sleep and how much effort – both mental and physical – is spent on everyday household chores.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That makes the home an important part of the wider wellness picture. AI-powered solutions can change how we manage daily tasks – from refrigerators that suggest healthy recipes, to automated laundry cycles that can help reduce both mental and physical effort. These connected appliances are increasingly embraced by consumers, with sales of Samsung AI appliances rising by more than 30% from 2024 to 2025. With intelligent innovations that can seamlessly support everyday routines around rest, eating, and household care, living better can be made easier.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Creating a More Comfortable Resting Environment Through Intelligent Cooling<b></b></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A good night’s sleep hinges on comfort to help us fall asleep and more importantly, stay asleep. Samsung’s </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/business/air-conditioners/wall-mount/ar80h-1-0-hp-windfree-premium-plus-ar80h10dacwntc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">WindFree AI Expert Split Type Air Conditioner</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is designed to make cooling feel gentler. With WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Cooling, air is dispersed through </span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/ph/enjoy-better-sleep-with-samsungs-windfree-air-conditioner" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">23,000 micro air holes</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>1</sup></span>, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor environment without unpleasant cold drafts.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Getting quality rest is an important priority in the region, with 66% of respondents in a Samsung Health App survey</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>2</sup></span> indicating that they are actively working on improving their sleep. During warm and humid nights common in the Philippines, the temperature that feels right at bedtime may not remain comfortable for the hours that follow as we go through different stages of the sleep cycle.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">With the WindFree AI Expert Split Type Air Conditioner, the cooling experience can be personalized when the air conditioner is connected to a compatible </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/watches/?product1=sm-l715fzsaxtc&amp;product2=sm-l340nzeaasa&amp;product3=sm-l705fzb1xtc" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Galaxy Watch</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> through SmartThings<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>3</sup></span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Supporting Healthier Eating Habits Through Smarter Food Management</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
Planning healthier meals often starts with knowing what is already in the kitchen, what needs to be used first and what can be easily prepared. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
On supported Samsung refrigerators like the Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub, users can keep track of what they already have and identify what they need.<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>5</sup></span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> For example, you might be standing in the supermarket trying to remember if you have ingredients for that new healthy recipe you wanted to try for dinner today. With AI Food Manager, you can easily check a food list<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>6</sup></span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to see if you have what you need via the SmartThings app<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>7</sup></span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> – no more guessing and ending up with items you don’t actually need.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_9348" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-9348 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/pic-3-1.png" alt="" width="1000" height="473" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/pic-3-1.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/pic-3-1-768x363.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Samsung Bespoke AI appliances work together through SmartThings to support comfort, food management and household care throughout the day.</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
And if you’re home and stuck with no ideas for what to cook, the AI Food Manager can make the decision for you, by recommending recipes based on what’s already available in your fridge. This reduces the mental load of meal prep and makes the process more efficient. What’s for Today is a new feature available on select models – depending on the user selection, the function can offer menu recommendations based on either a random suggestion or available refrigerator contents, turning the daily question of what to cook into a more engaging and gamified experience.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
In addition, side-by-side refrigerators with the 9-inch Family Hub display can serve as a central control hub for connected Samsung smart appliances, allowing users to control appliances directly from the refrigerator display<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>8</sup></span>.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Supported by Bixby, verbal cues provide an additional hands-free way to interact with the refrigerator while cooking or preparing meals.</p>
<p></span></p>
<div id="attachment_9349" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-9349 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/pic-4-1.png" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/pic-4-1.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/pic-4-1-728x410.png 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/pic-4-1-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Side-by-side refrigerators with the 9-inch Family Hub display can serve as a central control hub for connected Samsung smart appliances</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
The refrigerator’s role is not to decide what a healthy meal should look like for every household. Instead, it makes information readily accessible, enabling you to make easier decisions about what to eat.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Simplifying Laundry Routines for Greater Wellbeing</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
Living well at home is shaped not only by resting and eating well, but also by how well you can manage daily life. Laundry can involve a long chain of small tasks – from choosing settings and measuring detergent amounts, to keeping track of when the cycle ends and moving wet clothes for drying. Minimizing steps in this tiresome routine can help lighten the mental load of everyday household care, freeing up time for more rest or quality moments with loved ones. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
Samsung’s latest Bespoke AI laundry solutions are designed to make washing more convenient and effortless. AI Wash uses multiple sensors to detect load weight and five different fabric types<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>9</sup></span>, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> automatically dispense the right amount of water and detergent, and continuously monitor soil levels during the wash cycle. If needed, it can also adjust detergent use and washing time accordingly to deliver efficient<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>10</sup></span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and thorough cleaning performance.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo brings washing and drying into one appliance. Clothes can move from washing to drying without being transferred between separate machines, reducing interruptions and adding yet another task to your day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
Meanwhile, the 7-inch Smart Screen offers a central view to check on your wash cycle and access controls, while the Bixby voice assistant supports conversational voice control.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
Together, these features can help reduce the manual steps and lighten the mental load of managing your laundry.</span></p>

<h2>Bringing Wellness Together Through a Connected Home Ecosystem</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
A truly connected home consists of more than just individual appliances. Through SmartThings, Samsung connects its Bespoke AI appliances and compatible devices in an integrated ecosystem, delivering seamless experiences across the home to help you easily live better. </span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For years, the conversation about smart appliances centered on the home. That intelligence, connectivity and reliability is now expected across the built environment. Across Southeast Asia and Oceania, it&#8217;s moving into residential developments, hotels, offices and retail spaces.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With our broad portfolio of integrated B2B solutions, Samsung is supporting the growth of businesses and building owners in the region by addressing their evolving operational needs across heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), home appliances, as well as smart management technologies. Equipped with a deep understanding of what our enterprise partners need and prioritize, we strive to deliver innovative technologies that can help reduce energy consumption and manage operating costs.    </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">     </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The expansion of our enterprise sales for instance, already reflects the trust that we have earned from our customers – B2B sales in the region have increased by more than 20% year-on-year. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Why HVAC Has Become a Growth Engine</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Southeast Asia and Oceania’s building and construction sector is growing at a steady pace, whether it is building new smart cities and towns or rejuvenating old ones. Southeast Asia and Australia’s construction industry is forecasted to grow more than 5x faster<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>1</sup></span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> than the global rate in 2026. What’s particularly exciting is the region’s appetite for what’s next, from high-tech manufacturing plants to AI data centers that will define future economies. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every one of them needs cooling that is smarter, more efficient and more reliable than what came before. That’s why HVAC has become a key growth driver of our business &#8211; the B2B segment now makes up more than half of total HVAC sales, with the proportion almost doubling from five years ago &#8211; and we believe it’s only getting started. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our </span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-electronics-acquires-leading-global-hvac-solutions-provider-flaktgroup" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">acquisition of FläktGroup</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> brings us closer to that future by deepening our expertise in HVAC systems and enabling us to serve the most demanding environments, such as AI data centers where cooling and ventilation are critical to keep crucial systems and operations going.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here in this region, demand is rising across a diverse range of building types. In Vietnam, we’re supplying around 3,000 WindFree air-conditioning units to high-rise apartments as part of CapitaLand’s Sycamore development in Ho Chi Minh City, while more than 3,000 air-conditioning units will be installed in Starlake, a mixed-use complex in Hanoi.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Thailand, we have rolled out HVAC systems across Thaiwatsadu’s retail stores which are also supported by SmartThings Pro to manage energy efficiency and simplify operational management. Additionally, 600 rooms in the 29 buildings of Sheraton Naiharn Hotel &amp; Resort in Phuket will be outfitted with WindFree air-conditioning units. In Sydney, Australia, our cooling systems have been incorporated in residential projects such as Arncliffe Central and AURA by Aqualand.  </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whether it’s a beach resort, or a cutting-edge data center, our comprehensive portfolio means that there are always suitable cooling solutions for diverse needs.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Extending the Opportunity Beyond Cooling<b></b></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HVAC is not the only category that businesses are paying attention to. Urbanization, changing lifestyles and growing demand for convenience are also driving adoption of suitable laundry solutions in B2B business sectors.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Building on decades of expertise in consumer appliances, we have expanded our laundry lineup for broader capacity choices to meet various B2B needs in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, with plans to bring our B2B laundry solutions to more markets in Southeast Asia and Oceania by the end of 2026.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_9303" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-9303" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Shaping-the-Next-Generation-of-Enterprise-Spaces_SEAO-Byline-Image-3-1.png" alt="" width="1000" height="1000" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Shaping-the-Next-Generation-of-Enterprise-Spaces_SEAO-Byline-Image-3-1.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Shaping-the-Next-Generation-of-Enterprise-Spaces_SEAO-Byline-Image-3-1-563x563.png 563w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ph/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/PR_Shaping-the-Next-Generation-of-Enterprise-Spaces_SEAO-Byline-Image-3-1-768x768.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">TiTi Laundry amongst the first stores Samsung collaborated with to expand the automated laundry model in Vietnam.</p></div>

<p><a href="https://news.samsung.com/vn/samsung-dong-hanh-cung-doi-tac-phat-trien-mo-hinh-cua-hang-giat-say-tu-dong-khai-truong-cua-hang-dau-tien-titi-laundry" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">TiTi Laundry in Ho Chi Minh City</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is one recent example. As one of the first partners that we collaborated with to expand the B2B laundry model in Vietnam, it is open around the clock, with machines that can be monitored and managed remotely. This business model allows connected appliances, such as Samsung’s B2B Laundry solutions, to create new business opportunities for operators, while making everyday life a little easier for the people they serve.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Building Smarter Business Environments <b></b></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Together, these developments point to a broader change in how businesses are thinking about their physical spaces. Beyond standalone products, our customers increasingly want connected solutions that simplify management across an entire property, instead of having to look after individual systems.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is taking shape at </span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/ph/samsung-electronics-powers-ai-connected-living-in-cebu-through-new-mixed-use-development" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Granz Forest Park in Cebu, the Philippines</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, where we have partnered with real estate developer, DH Plus, to provide integrated operational solutions that combine AI-powered appliances, SmartThings Pro, and connected technologies within a single ecosystem, spanning residences, hotel and commercial facilities.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By offering technological expertise, an extensive suite of AI-powered appliances, and smart management platforms, Samsung is enabling businesses and building owners to construct and maintain spaces that are tailored to what users need, and opens new ways to optimize and expand their operations. Through integrated solutions that empower enterprises to optimize operations, reduce costs, and confidently scale up, we are shaping the future of buildings and properties in Southeast Asia and Oceania, supporting the region’s further growth and development.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When you arrive home, waiting for your space to cool feels like it takes eternity. With the Samsung WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> AI Comfort Air Conditioner Comfort Inverter, you get cooling relief in just minutes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The unit combines powerful cooling with AI technology to create a comfortable environment throughout the room. Its AI-powered cooling analyzes indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, and even room size to deliver the cooling needed based on your usage habits and preferences.  This helps you come home to a space that’s cooled according to your needs, without having to constantly adjust the settings yourself. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">AI Fast Cooling quickly fills your room with refreshing air by running at maximum fan speed. This helps lower the temperature in less time, so you can relax sooner. Once the space reaches a comfortable level through the 2-Way Auto Swing feature, cold air is distributed evenly, flowing up and down automatically to keep the room’s temperature consistent.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The unit comes in a range of capacities, from 1.0HP to 2.5HP, ensuring you’ll find one suited for any size of room, from cozy bedrooms to larger family spaces.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Keeps You Comfortable, More Efficiently</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Comfort doesn’t have to mean higher spending on electricity. Samsung WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> AI Comfort Air Conditioner Comfort Inverter helps you stay cool and refreshed without having to worry about power costs.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Powered by Samsung’s Digital Inverter Technology, the unit intelligently maintains your preferred temperature while operating more efficiently than conventional inverter models. This reduces the unit’s energy consumption without compromising on cooling performance.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The unit is also a fitting choice for environmentally conscious homes. It uses R32 refrigerant, which has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and a lower Global Warning Potential (GWP) than commonly used refrigerants. This means you get to enjoy reliable cooling that won’t harm the environment.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Effortlessly Works Around Your Routine</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Making sure your room is as cool as you like is easier than ever with the new Samsung air conditioner. Through SmartThings, you can easily control the unit through the app. Whether you’re switching the air conditioner on or off, adjusting the temperature, changing cooling modes, or fine-tuning the airflow, you can effortlessly do it all from your smartphone.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SmartThings Routines take convenience a step further as they automate the unit’s performance based on your habits and daily routines. When you set up the Welcome Home routine, the unit will automatically turn on as you arrive home. Meanwhile, Routine Temperature immediately starts cooling your room whenever it gets warmer than you prefer, without you having to press a single button.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For a more comfortable night&#8217;s rest, Good Sleep Mode automatically adjusts the temperature and humidity to maintain an optimal environment for your body while you sleep. It helps create the right conditions for a more restful night while using up to 36% less energy compared to conventional cooling mode.</span></p>

<p><b>MANILA, Philippines (September 22, 2026) – </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Samsung Electronics is bringing its vision of AI-powered connected living to Cebu as its line of home appliances, SmartThings ecosystem, and smart building technologies are set to be integrated into the premium mixed-use development, Granz Forest Park. Samsung aims to use the project as a springboard to expand its residential and building solutions business across Southeast Asia.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On September 17, Samsung inked an agreement with specialized real estate developer DH Plus. Under the agreement, Samsung is set to provide AI-powered appliances and integrated B2B operational solutions—including SmartThings Pro and b.IoT—for the Granz Forest Park development project in Cebu. DH Plus specializes in high-end residential, hotel, and resort developments in Korea and overseas and is responsible for the Granz Forest Park project.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This partnership represents a meaningful example of introducing a customized, integrated AIoT-based operational solution spanning both residential and commercial spaces,” said Hwang Tae-hwan, Executive Vice President and Head of Samsung Electronics’ B2B Integrated Offering Center. “Building on this collaboration, we will actively participate in mixed-use development projects that utilize integrated B2B operational solutions across the Southeast Asian market.”</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scheduled for completion in 2030, Granz Forest Park will be a state-of-the-art premium mixed-use complex built around artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) technology. The approximately 66,000-square-meter site will feature three residential buildings, one hotel, and private villas. It will also include commercial facilities where visitors can experience K-beauty and K-food, the membership-based “Granz Club,” and an international school. A walking trail connecting the complex to a mangrove ecological park will provide residents and visitors with opportunities for relaxation and leisure in a natural setting.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Samsung Electronics will create customized AI Home environments in the complex’s residential facilities by integrating AI-powered appliances with SmartThings. The company will also introduce SmartThings Pro, its B2B connectivity and integrated control platform, to support the safe and efficient operation of the complex.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The residences and hotel will be equipped with a range of AI-powered appliances, including televisions, air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines. Residents and hotel guests will be able to access the AI Home services immediately after signing in to SmartThings once. Through SmartThings, they will also be able to control in-room devices from a single platform, making their living and accommodation experience more convenient.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Residential facility managers will be able to remotely monitor equipment conditions through SmartThings Pro. This will enable them to respond to issues quickly and operate the facilities efficiently while minimizing the need for on-site visits.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Samsung Electronics will also deploy its integrated building solution, b.IoT, to manage common areas such as community facilities and swimming pools, as well as infrastructure including hot-water and boiler systems. b.IoT is a solution that provides integrated control and management of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, lighting, and electrical systems while using energy algorithms to improve a building’s energy efficiency.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The company plans to apply b.IoT to the commercial facilities, hotel, and international school as well, enhancing operational and management efficiency. Using digital twin technology, which creates a three-dimensional representation of an actual building, operators will be able to monitor the condition of major equipment and predict when maintenance will be required. An AI agent will also enable integrated monitoring and control of HVAC, lighting, electrical, and security systems.</span></p>

<p><b>MANILA, Philippines (September 7, 2026) – </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">From sorting clothes by color and fabric type and figuring out the amount of detergent to use for each cycle, to drying each load, laundry days can take up a considerable amount of time and energy. Samsung is making the load feel lighter with its range of Bespoke AI washing machines and dryers.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Powered by Samsung’s Digital Inverter Technology, these laundry appliances are built to deliver efficient and reliable performance, while helping households use less energy and enjoy long-lasting durability.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>Bigger Loads, Lighter Laundry Days</b></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Washing bigger loads becomes more effortless with the Samsung </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/washers-and-dryers/washing-machines/wa80f-25-top-load-washer-ai-wash-ecobubble-ai-energy-mode-19kg-black-wa80f19s8btc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bespoke AI 19kg Ecobubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Top Load Washer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The machine is designed to take on massive loads of laundry and uses AI-powered technology to make washing more efficient, convenient, yet still gentle on any kind of fabric.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instead of having to figure out every setting for every load, the washer does it all for you. Through AI Wash, the machine senses the weight and softness of the fabrics in each load and adjusts the process for a more thorough, yet gentle, wash cycle. The machine uses Ecobubble<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />, turning detergent into bubbles that penetrate fabrics more quickly for more efficient washing.  On Super Speed, you can cut down your washing time and finish a wash cycle in just 31 minutes. The machine shoots powerful jets of water and accelerates the spin speed, ensuring your load gets powerfully cleaned while reducing water consumption. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For families more mindful of energy consumption, AI Energy Mode helps you reduce the washer’s energy use by up to 20%. This means you can give your laundry the powerful wash it needs, without having to worry about added costs.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>One Less Step with an All-in-One Partner</b></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For households that want to simplify laundry even further, the </span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/ph/washers-and-dryers/washer-dryer-combo/wd8000dk-combo-all-in-one-combo-super-speed-25kg-gray-wd25db8995bztc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bespoke AI All-in-One Combo Washer and Dryer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> makes wash days more convenient by bringing washing and drying together in one appliance. With its 25kg washing and 15kg drying capacity, the machine can handle plenty of clothes in a single load, even larger items like beddings and linens. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Caring for different kinds of laundry is easier to figure out with AI Wash &amp; Dry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> as it optimizes your wash settings, water and detergent level, to suit your load. Whether it’s your family’s everyday clothes or a load of your household linens, the machine intelligently adapts, so you won’t have to figure out every setting yourself. To make the laundry process even more intuitive, the Flex Auto Dispense System automatically dispenses the appropriate amount of detergent and softener. Plus, the machine uses Samsung’s advanced Heatpump Drying technology to recycle and reheat hot air while removing moisture from your laundry, reducing drying time and energy use. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The machine comes with a 7-inch AI Home LCD display, which serves as an intuitive control center during laundry days that suggests cycles based on your usage habits and seasonal needs. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With SmartThings connectivity, the washing machine becomes a convenient hub for connected devices. Wash days are even easier to manage through the app, allowing you to monitor and manage laundry from your smartphone even while you’re busy with work, preparing dinner, or running errands. The app also lets you check the status and remaining time of a cycle and be notified once it’s finished, so you won’t have to constantly go and check the machine yourself. You can also set Delay Start on the app, to make sure your wash cycles fit your daily routines. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
