Samsung Electronics set a record by winning the ‘Energy Award’ for the eighth consecutive year, taking home honors in a total of ten categories. The ‘Bespoke AI Wind-Free Combo Gallery Pro’ air conditioner, which received both the top Energy Award and the Minister of Climate, Energy and Environment Award, features a ‘motion radar sensor’ that enables an ‘absence power-saving’ function. If no movement is detected for a set period, it automatically adjusts cooling, reducing energy consumption by up to 42%. Additionally, its ‘comfortable dehumidification’ function precisely controls refrigerant flow based on a humidity sensor, saving up to 30% more power compared to conventional dehumidification functions.

The ‘Infinite Line Hood-Integrated Induction’ range, which received the Energy Technology Prize, delivers up to 7,400 watts (W) of power while achieving first-class energy efficiency. Other notable products receiving Energy Winner awards include the ‘EHS Heat Pump Boiler,’ which generates about five times more heating energy compared to its power consumption; the ‘Bespoke AI Combo Washer Dryer’; the ‘Bespoke AI Hybrid Refrigerator’; and the ‘Galaxy Book6 Pro’—in total, seven flagship products were honored.

LG Electronics continued its record as the industry’s most awarded company for the tenth consecutive year, winning a total of twelve prizes including three Grand Prizes. The ‘LG Whisen AI Objet Collection (Tower I)’ air conditioner received both the Grand Prize and the Minister of Climate, Energy and Environment Award. Featuring the AI Cold-Free function, which simultaneously controls temperature and humidity, it improved cooling efficiency by up to 13% and reduced electricity bills by up to 11.5%—both industry firsts.

The LG E-paper display received both the Grand Prize and the Korea Energy Agency Chairman’s Award. As a commercial display that maintains its screen without power supply, it reduced energy consumption by over 99%, compared to conventional digital signage.

The upcoming LG Dios AI Objet Collection dishwasher achieved a milestone by becoming the first dishwasher to receive the Grand Prize since the Energy Winner Awards began in 1997. The new technology reduces power consumption by about 10% while boosting drying performance. Water usage was cut by about 18%, and cleaning time shortened by approximately 24 minutes compared to previous models.

Jongseung Moon, Executive Vice President, Digital Appliances (DA) Division, Samsung Electronics, stated, "With Samsung Electronics having won the Energy Award for eight consecutive years since 2019, this demonstrates once again our competitiveness in high-efficiency home appliance technology. We will continue to advance differentiated energy technologies and introduce innovative energy solutions in the future."

Jaewoong Jung, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Value Innovation at LG Electronics, also said, "We will continue to launch products and solutions that contribute to a sustainable future through differentiated technological innovation to improve energy efficiency."
