Samsung Electronics said on the 1st that it will supply a large volume of high-efficiency heat pump HVAC solutions and a range of home appliances for a large-scale residential complex redevelopment project in Cornwall, England.
According to Samsung Electronics, the project is a redevelopment of an idle site of about 610,000 pyeong that was once used as a mine in Cornwall, a well-known resort and vacation destination in southwest England. By 2035, it will be developed into a 1,500-household residential community, "West Carclaze Garden Village," with dwellings, schools, hospitals and a community center.
Samsung Electronics will supply a large number of residential EHS products that provide heating and hot water based on a high-efficiency heat pump system for this project. The residential EHS with a heat pump system emits less carbon dioxide than conventional fossil fuel-based boilers.
The products Samsung Electronics will supply are Mono R290, which uses propane, a natural refrigerant, has a low global warming potential, and can provide heating even at minus 25°C, and Mono R32, which uses a refrigerant with about 68% lower GWP than commonly used refrigerants and improves space efficiency.
Samsung Electronics will also supply various home appliances, including refrigerators, washing machines and ovens. Samsung Electronics home appliances are connected to SmartThings. Users can control and monitor appliances with SmartThings and manage and reduce energy use throughout the home.
SmartThings is also connected to the "solar power generation" and "energy storage system" installed in the home. Users can monitor in real time the amount of electricity produced by solar power and use it efficiently.
West Carclaze Garden Village will also introduce SmartThings Pro, Samsung Electronics' artificial intelligence (AI)-based business-to-business (B2B) solution. SmartThings Pro provides connectivity that enables integrated management not only of home appliances and smart devices in the home but also of public facilities within the complex, such as the community center, school and hospital.
In particular, administrators can use an integrated dashboard to remotely get a snapshot of each household's energy usage in the complex and monitor any abnormalities in real time, enabling efficient operation and management of the complex.
