Samsung Electronics Showcases High-Efficiency, AI Energy Technologies at Climate Industry Expo

Samsung Electronics announced that it will participate in the "2026 Climate Industry International Expo," which will be held from the 16th to the 18th at BEXCO in Busan. The expo is co-hosted by the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment and the Busan Metropolitan City, and its theme is "A Great Shift Made by Climate Tech, a Leap Toward a Decarbonized World."

Through its participation in the expo, Samsung Electronics will showcase its energy technology competitiveness, centered on high-efficiency home appliances, heat pumps, and AI data center HVAC solutions. The application range covers residential to industrial sites.

Samsung Electronics will operate a standalone exhibition booth of about 270 square meters, or about 82 pyeong. The booth will introduce energy-saving technologies for everything from everyday home appliances to AI data centers and HVAC solutions for large commercial facilities.

The booth will be arranged using screens and lighting effects synchronized with devices. This will present, in one place, the flow of energy-saving technologies from home appliances to industrial HVAC.

Visitors will be able to intuitively experience Samsung Electronics' energy solutions, which extend into residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Samsung Electronics designed the booth with connected displays so visitors can easily grasp the flow of its solutions across each area.

Samsung Electronics placed its high-efficiency heat pump solution, "EHS All-in-One," at the front of the booth. "EHS All-in-One" is a residential heat pump solution that provides integrated cooling, heating, and hot water with a single outdoor unit. Samsung Electronics showed that the product improves space efficiency and installation convenience compared with the traditional approach of installing air conditioners and boilers separately.

In the exhibition space, Samsung Electronics recreated four-season operating scenarios for winter heating, summer cooling, and spring and autumn hot water use. "EHS All-in-One" provides cooling in summer and was introduced as an energy solution tailored to Korea's climate, where the seasons are distinctly defined. Samsung Electronics also unveiled a remote monitoring function through the SmartThings app and a SmartThings Pro-linked B2B integrated management function.

Samsung Electronics also separately exhibited the "EHS Heat Pump Boiler." The "EHS Heat Pump Boiler" is a high-efficiency heating solution for indoor heating and hot water supply that uses ambient air heat and electricity. The product is being introduced and expanded in the domestic market in connection with the government's recent heat electrification deployment project, and it is drawing attention as a solution that supports the shift of households to eco-friendly electric heating.

Samsung Electronics' heat pump solutions were selected by the Italian institute ITQF as the "No. 1 in best value for money" and also won an MCE 2026 Excellence Award and an iF Design Award 2026.

Samsung Electronics unveiled its HVAC lineup portfolio based on cooperation with FläktGroup, which it acquired last year. It also exhibited cooling solutions for AI data centers as heat management in data centers emerges as a key challenge amid the growth of the AI industry, and it also presented central HVAC product lines for advanced industrial complexes and large buildings.

Samsung Electronics emphasized its energy solution capabilities spanning industrial and commercial B2B markets beyond residential HVAC. To that end, it created a SmartThings Pro space optimized for the B2B business environment and introduced technologies that monitor and control electricity usage in real time at multiple commercial facilities and smart buildings. It also presented actual solution deployment cases.

The lifestyle exhibition space was designed around the concept of an everyday residential environment. The space featured a number of home appliances with top-tier energy efficiency ratings, including refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, dishwashers, and induction cooktops. Samsung Electronics also unveiled the SmartThings-based "AI Energy Saving Mode," a feature that helps reduce energy use in daily life.

Along with this, "Home Appliance Remote Management (HRM)" was also introduced. HRM is a function that analyzes and diagnoses the status of customers' home appliances using AI. Samsung Electronics also introduced a software update support service for home appliances equipped with Wi-Fi. The software update support period lasts up to 7 years.

Samsung Electronics said the software update service applies to Wi-Fi-equipped home appliances released since 2024. In this way, Samsung Electronics presented related services by linking not only product efficiency but also support for use and management.

Im Seong-taek, vice president of Samsung Electronics' DA Division, said the expo is an opportunity to demonstrate Samsung Electronics' comprehensive energy-saving capabilities, from high-efficiency home appliances to HVAC solutions for AI data centers and smart buildings. He added that the company plans to lead innovation in energy saving by combining AI-based high-efficiency product technology with differentiated services.
