Samsung and GREEN-HOUSE Shows How Singaporeans can Embrace Smart and Conscious Living

· Samsung’s collaboration with GREEN-HOUSE aims to promote smart and conscious living in Singapore, in tandem with the nation’s 2030 Green Plan.

· Samsung’s SmartThings platform and AI-poweed appliances help consumers monitor and reduce energy usage.

· Samsung’s ongoing sustainability efforts, such as using recycled materials in its products encourages consistent, community-driven action for a greener future.

Climate change already has a profound effect on our lifestyle. To mitigate this impact, Singapore has an ambitious 2030 Green Plan, which includes a push to reduce energy usage, a shift towards renewable energy, and to encourage a higher rate of recycling.

However, while 7 in 10 consumers feel that sustainability is important, only a third of them are taking active steps to contribute to the cause. And with fluctuating electricity and gas tariffs, consumers may need to be more proactive in better managing their energy usage.

Thankfully, the rise of smart home technology can pave the way for smarter energy use. Not only does it help simplify routines (think automating your laundry cycles or automatically adjusting the air-conditioning in response to ambient temperatures)^[1], but it can also help monitor energy usage and make smart recommendations that best fit your lifestyle.

Samsung SmartThings: Enabling smarter, eco-friendly living

Samsung SmartThings is an AI-powered platform that enables users to connect, control and automate some 5,000 different smart devices from hundreds of manufacturers. Accessible via Galaxy devices (including the Galaxy S25 Series and Galaxy Tab S11 Series), it allows homeowners to control their appliances from a single app, as well as monitor their energy consumption in real time.

For example, AI Energy Mode helps to keep track of and control energy use. When the feature is enabled, users can choose their preferred energy saving level that can reduce energy consumption across various supported devices, including TVs. This mode can result in energy savings of up to 15% for supported refrigerators, and up to 70% for supported washers and dryers. Additionally, Away mode can be preset so that SmartThings-connected devices can be switched off when it detects no movement at home, further contributing to reduction in energy wastage.

How smart can Samsung products get for a conscious household?

When paired with SmartThings on your preferred Galaxy devices (a Galaxy S25 Ultra for starters), the Samsung Bespoke Convection Microwave Oven offers homeowners personalised recipes^[2], and can even offer cooking guidance. And if your hands are full, you can tell the microwave what to do with natural language voice commands^[3].

Or if you are calorie counting, your Galaxy smartphone and tablet can act as your personal nutritionist. Need a low-calorie recipe based on existing ingredients you have in your refrigerator? Simply point your Galaxy device’s camera to the ingredients laid out, long press the side button, and ask Gemini Live for real-time recipe recommendations.

Bringing conscious living to life at GREEN-HOUSE

The move towards a more conscious consumption requires greater education, and availability of tools and resources.

To that end, Samsung is teaming up with GREEN-HOUSE, to champion greener living efforts in Singapore. Held at the Temasek Shophouse on 8 and 9 November 2025, the Festival will act as a community event for conscious brands and Singaporeans to learn more about how they can do their part toward greener living.

Since 2022, GREEN-HOUSE has been committed to shaping thought around sustainable urban living through an immersive, weekend-long event. This year, the event aims to champion coral planting, a pressing issue as coral reef destruction has been accelerated by climate change and ocean pollution from land-based sources. (Fun fact: The Galaxy S22 S Pen was partly made of discarded fishing nets. The use of old fishing nets and other plastic debris have expanded since 2022.)

All that got your appetite going? Join us at the GREEN-HOUSE Eat Well, Live Smart Workshop.

The Eat Well, Live Smart workshop is not only a showcase of our technology and innovation, but a demonstration of smarter, more conscious living. Hosted by Loaded Gun Kitchen, a plant-based cookhouse, the workshop will showcase how quickly and easily nutritious meals can be – all made possible by the Samsung Bespoke Convection Microwave Oven.

In just 45 minutes, participants will learn such delights as air-fried eggplant, and whip up a charred corn and avocado salsa tossed with Loaded Gun Kitchen’s Green Goddess dressing, finishing with an umami peanut sauce layered with corn-cob stock. A three-course meal that’s low on waste and effort, but big on flavour and nutrition.

Of course, you’ll also learn how to capture equally good-looking food shots with the help of Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy AI. And once you do, you can display them like the works of art they are on The Frame Pro TV, which will also be making an appearance at GREEN-HOUSE.
