Optimized for Mosque Architecture and Function

Circular Design Enables Complete Cooling of Open Spaces

Low-Noise Engineering Creates a Suitable Environment for Worship

Samsung Electronics will supply more than 1,000 customized high-efficiency HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) solutions to over 100 Islamic mosques in eight major cities across Saudi Arabia, including the capital Riyadh and Ramah.


Taking into account the unique spatial characteristics of religious facilities, Samsung Electronics is providing its circular system air conditioner, the '360 Cassette,' which offers uniform cooling and quiet operation throughout large spaces. The company has also applied a bespoke panel design reflecting the architectural style of the mosques to ensure harmony with the interior spaces.


Samsung Electronics' 360 Cassette ceiling-mounted system air conditioner is the world's first product to feature a circular design instead of the conventional rectangular (4-Way) configuration.


To minimize airflow loss caused by traditional directional blades, Samsung implemented its patented 'Booster Fan' technology. This innovation enables cool air to be distributed widely and evenly in a horizontal direction, ensuring consistent and all-encompassing cooling throughout the entire space.


This feature is particularly beneficial for mosques with high ceilings and open structures, as it allows cool air to be delivered evenly across the entire area. The ceiling-mounted installation also maximizes the use of floor space.

Furthermore, the low-noise design provides a quiet and comfortable indoor environment suitable for prayer halls.


The outdoor units are engineered to maintain stable cooling performance even in extreme environments, withstanding outside temperatures over 50℃, addressing the high-temperature climate of Saudi Arabia.


The design of the supplied products also reflects local culture and architectural styles. Since mosques place great importance on the harmony of interior decor and architecture, exclusive product panel designs featuring traditional Islamic patterns have been applied.


With this supply, Samsung Electronics signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in June with its local partner Ghoroos Charity, an organization leading mosque renovation projects. The company plans to expand cooperation for supplying its solutions to more mosques throughout Saudi Arabia.


Meanwhile, Samsung continues to broaden its business in the Middle East with various B2B (business-to-business) projects, including transportation and educational facilities. Last year, the company supplied system air conditioners to public transportation sites in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Samsung provided its integrated building solution 'b.IoT (Building Internet of Things)' to the Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai (RGSGD), a private school.



Sungtaek Lim, Executive Vice President of Digital Appliances (DA) at Samsung Electronics, stated, "This supply is a testament to our competitive edge in delivering tailored HVAC solutions that reflect both the unique characteristics of worship spaces and local culture. We will continue to expand our B2B HVAC business in the Middle East by offering a variety of solutions adapted to regional environments and customer needs."
