Samsung Expands B2B HVAC and AI Appliance Push Across Southeast Asia and Oceania
Samsung Electronics reported a greater than 20% year-over-year increase in business-to-business (B2B) revenue across Southeast Asia and Oceania, driven by expanding deployments of commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and artificial intelligence-powered home appliances, according to biz.chosun.com. Company executives outlined the regional strategy during a technology seminar held in Hanoi, Vietnam, highlighting that B2B channels now account for more than 50% of the company’s regional air-conditioning revenue, up from 29% in 2021.
Retrofitting Aging Commercial Towers and Hotels with the DVM S2
Commercial building owners across Southeast Asia and Oceania are increasingly targeting HVAC infrastructure to curb rising operating costs in hot and humid climates, news.samsung.com reported. To address these demands without requiring disruptive structural overhauls, Samsung deployed its DVM S2 variable refrigerant flow system. A single DVM S2 outdoor unit connects up to 64 indoor units, utilizing sub-cooling control and smaller main liquid pipes to reduce overall refrigerant charges by up to 30%.
Centralizing Multi-Site Operations Through SmartThings Pro
Managing dispersed commercial real estate portfolios relies on centralized digital platforms that integrate energy analytics, scheduling, and diagnostic tools. Samsung pairs the DVM S2 with SmartThings Pro, a cloud-based B2B IoT platform that enables facilities teams to monitor multiple sites from a single dashboard. According to news.samsung.com, the system features an AI Energy Mode that adjusts connected devices in real time based on occupancy, weather conditions, and electricity tariffs. Predictive maintenance workflows identify equipment anomalies before they escalate into costly failures, reducing emergency service calls for property managers operating across multiple cities.
Commercial Pipeline and Regional Expansion Projects
Samsung has secured several high-profile contracts to supply residential and commercial air-conditioning solutions throughout the region. The company supplied HVAC systems to approximately 6,000 households in residential developments across Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Vietnam, and equipped the Sheraton Nai Harn Hotel in Phuket, Thailand, alongside retail facilities for Thai Watsadu, biz.chosun.com noted. In Cebu, the Philippines, the upcoming Grantz Forest Park mixed-use development will integrate SmartThings Pro alongside the b.IoT platform to manage HVAC, lighting, and power infrastructure simultaneously.
