ogy offers maximum efficiency
in part load as well as full load
conditions with a large range
of frequency operation, and an
enhanced compressor reliability.
Numerous MULTI Vs are
currently successfully under
operation in diverse sites in the
MEA region.
One exemplary site is MEA’s first
net zero energy city, the
Sustainable City by Diamond
Developers. Requiring a
highly efficient HVAC solution,
especially needing a part load
operation and controlling and
monitoring the AC units from
a smartphone, all the challenges
were met by LG and the City is
now enjoying the best energy
efficiency.
LG also provides smart energy
management with its BECON
(Building Energy Control) Cloud
Solution, an IoT-based platform.
Through numerous sensors in the
BECON Cloud, remote real-time
monitoring, energy efficiency
management, and energy saving
is possible. Maintenance service
teams are also set up in the MEA
region with a strong basis in
Dubai, UAE and several sites in
the region have adapted BECON
Cloud and are receiving remote
maintenance service.
Expanding into the smart energy
business with its technologies in
HVAC solution, LG’s
capabilities have been
demonstrated in Korea’s LG
Science Park, a world class R&D
complex with an area of around
175,207m2. Not only the most
up-to-date HVAC system has
been adapted, but the innovative
energy solution for energy
management and renewable
energy facilities have been
realized.
For instance, simulation for
energy use based on information
on weather, building facility data,
operating history, etc. is held
to predict energy demand with
BECON solutions and manage
energy supply and demand.
Review and analysis of energy
production, saving, and load is
also undergone through renewable
energy facilities for smart
energy management. With these
advanced technical capabilities
realized in LG Science Park, LG
will move on to globally expand
its technological leadership in
smart energy management.
Mr. James Lee, President of LG
Electronics Middle East and
Africa said, “Starting from 2020,
the MEA region is welcoming
key momenta with numerous
international events and
government-led construction
projects that can lead to high
demand in energy solutions.
With LG’s smart energy
solutions that can maximize
energy efficiency, we will
contribute to the changeover of
MEA cities to become
intelligent.”
