Samsung Electronics unveiled a next-generation, high-efficiency, low-carbon residential environment that combines heat pump-based heating and cooling solutions with artificial intelligence (AI) energy management technology.
On October 14, at the 'Samsung AI Modular Home' model house in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, the company presented housing solutions aligned with South Korea's Green Transition (K-GX) policy, welcoming Kim Sung-hwan, the Minister of Climate, Energy, and Environment.
Park Seung-hee, President of Samsung Electronics' Corporate Responsibility division, and Kim Cheol-ki, Vice President of the Device Solutions division, discussed electrification of heating and strategies for carbon reduction with the minister.
The Samsung AI Modular Home is a residential model that integrates Samsung's AI appliances and SmartThings-based solutions into modular housing. Appliances and solutions are pre-installed during the factory production phase, providing an optimized AI home environment upon move-in.
The system features high-efficiency appliances, heat pumps, solar panels, and energy storage systems (ESS) that manage power production and consumption in real-time.
The company also showcased the 'EHS All-in-One' heat pump solution, which simultaneously provides cooling, underfloor heating, and hot water using a single outdoor unit. The technology incorporates heat recovery, which recycles waste heat generated during cooling for hot water production, enabling additional energy savings.
A case study of the 'SmartThings Pro' integrated management solution, applied to a residential complex of 1,500 units in Cornwall, UK, was also presented. Samsung plans to expand its heat pump and AI energy solution business in the domestic market, covering everything from cost savings for individual households to integrated management for large complexes.
