LG has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) engine so its HVAC system can act as a benchmark for sustainable building operation.

The South Korean company unveiled the Multi V i at a ceremony in Bangkok. It uses variable refrigerant flow (VRF) and AI to focus on energy efficiency, user comfort and smart features.

Aware of the changing needs in the B2B market such as enhancing operational efficiency amid the global economic volatility and pursuing energy efficiency to meet the sustainability trend among the young generations, LG introduced the Multi V i that uses AI to adjust cooling or heating automatically according to the number of people in the room, humidity level, and temperature inside and outside of the building during the first ten minutes of operation.

There is also an AI indoor space care function that contributes to energy efficiency by keeping the indoors to a certain temperature.

AI-based energy management allows users to set energy consumption targets, which can help lower the overall power usage of the Multi V i, ultimately reducing excessive power use and monthly bills.

Multi V i not only contributes to saving energy but also creates a comfortable indoor environment, promoting the well-being of occupants and supporting sustainable building operations.

Among its features is the remote upgrade system that lets VRF options automatically update the software to the latest version without the need for staff to visit individual houses for an installation.

The Bangkok event began with a show around the theme of future innovation and featured multimedia integration on the screen along with a performance by two dancers. The story was divided into three parts – intelligent, innovative and interactive – with each part showcasing the benefits of the Multi V i.

After the show, Metawee Chitladaporn, sales director of B2B system air conditioning, delivered a presentation on AI technology. She provided an overview of Thailand’s commercial air conditioner industry, and shared insights and current trends, before introducing the Multi V i that suits the industry environment and trends. Then Prapop Punnin, manager of design and product information, took the stage to delve into the product’s details and emphasise its benefits to businesses and corporate clients.

Matthew Deane, a Thai actor and entrepreneur, shared insights on the advantages of AI in the Multi V i, emphasising its benefits for businesses and entrepreneurs. He gave his first-hand experience as an entrepreneur, highlighting the increasing necessity for businesses to enhance operational efficiency due to intense competition and rapidly changing consumer demands. He emphasised that AI could play a vital role in responding to the needs of businesses nowadays, especially in terms of cost reduction and customer satisfaction. By leveraging AI effectively, businesses can foster sustainable growth and thrive in this dynamic market, he said.
