The Climate Industry International Expo is a global event where cutting-edge technologies and policy solutions for responding to the climate crisis and achieving carbon neutrality are discussed. It is jointly organized by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the International Energy Agency (IEA), and the World Bank (WB). This year’s event focuses on the theme “Energy for AI & AI for Energy,” highlighting the role of AI in building sustainable energy systems.

Samsung Electronics is presenting exhibitions centered on energy savings through AI technology, including AI Saving Mode, integrated monitoring and management, personalization, and building energy management solutions.

In particular, Samsung Electronics has installed a large LED facade at the center of the exhibition entrance, displaying a video that visually represents the flow of climate change to emphasize the importance of climate change and energy technology to visitors.

At the "Energy Saving" zone, connected to the LED facade, visitors can view both the current and monthly predicted energy consumption of major products such as refrigerators, air conditioners, washer-dryers, and TVs on a single screen. They can also experience technology that allows easy and convenient energy savings of up to 60% by utilizing SmartThings’ AI Saving Mode.

In the "AI Saving Mode" zone, designed as a living room space, visitors can see how products like the Bespoke AI WindFree Combo System Air Conditioner, Neo QLED TV, and Bespoke AI AirDresser can all be linked at once to use AI Saving Mode, eliminating the inconvenience of connecting each device individually. Especially after connecting to SmartThings, users can set up automated routines tailored to their daily lives, such as sleep and wake-up, to control devices according to various conditions like specific times or days of the week.

In the "Integrated Monitoring" zone, designed as a kitchen space, users can check energy consumption in real time anytime and anywhere, both inside and outside the home. Energy usage can be monitored not only on mobile devices but also on all products equipped with screens, including refrigerators, washer-dryers, and Moving Style. In personal spaces such as bedrooms, data collected from wearable devices like Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring is analyzed to save energy according to sleep patterns. Visitors can also experience scenarios where lights and TVs turn off and the air conditioner switches to WindFree mode during sleep, and curtains open and lights turn on when waking up.

At the "b.IoT" zone, which features the building energy management solution, visitors can get an overview of the building’s HVAC status and see how automation-based management can reduce energy consumption by up to 15%.

LG Electronics is highlighting its AI-based high-efficiency HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) solutions. The company has set up a booth of about 270 square meters, creating spaces where visitors can experience HVAC solutions tailored for residential, public, and commercial facilities.

At the booth entrance, the system air conditioners "Multi V i" and "Multi V S," equipped with the "AI engine," are on display. The AI engine detects changes in indoor and outdoor temperatures to automatically adjust cooling intensity, and when the indoor environment becomes comfortable, it switches to power-saving mode to enhance energy efficiency. In particular, Multi V i has demonstrated up to 7.2% higher efficiency compared to the previous "Multi V Super 5" model, proving its effectiveness in reducing carbon emissions.

For residential solutions, LG Electronics is introducing the "Whisen AI System Air Conditioner." This product uses the "AI Wind" feature to learn users’ preferred temperatures and control settings automatically. When the indoor temperature is high, it quickly cools the space with strong airflow, then switches to a gentle "Soft Wind" to maintain comfort while reducing power consumption. The Soft Wind can reduce power usage by up to 76% compared to standard strong airflow.

For public solutions, the "4-Way System Air Conditioner," which uses less plastic, stands out. This product has been certified by the global certification body TUV Rheinland for reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 14.85 kilograms (kgCO₂eq, the value of greenhouse gases converted to carbon dioxide emissions) per unit during manufacturing. LG Electronics is also presenting the "Gas-Powered System Air Conditioner (GHP)," which is equipped with an emission reduction device to minimize the release of air pollutants.

For commercial solutions, the "Commercial Stand Air Conditioner," the only 40-pyeong (approximately 132 square meters) product in Korea to receive a Grade 1 energy efficiency rating, is on display. This product has improved cooling efficiency by 23% and heating efficiency by 37% compared to the previous 14.5kW Grade 4 model, earning the "Energy Saving Award" at the 28th Energy Winner Awards.

The high-efficiency competitiveness of LG Electronics’ HVAC systems comes from its core technologies-such as inverters, compressors, and motors-collectively referred to as "Core Tech." In particular, the inverter technology adjusts the operating speed of the motor and compressor according to the situation, ensuring that the product operates only as needed and minimizing energy waste.

Additionally, LG Electronics is introducing its "Building Management Solution (BMS)," which integrates the management of various facilities within buildings, as well as the "BECON" system, where AI analyzes temperature and power usage in real time to control building environments automatically.

Lee Jaesung, Executive Vice President and head of LG Electronics’ ES Business Division, said, "Based on LG Electronics’ AI technology and Core Tech, we will continue to expand our high-efficiency HVAC solutions and contribute to achieving global carbon neutrality."
