[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 14th that its Whisen residential and commercial air conditioners have become the first in the domestic air conditioner industry to obtain LOHAS certification.

LG Electronics recently received LOHAS certification from the Korea Standards Association for all heating and cooling air conditioning products produced in Changwon. LOHAS refers to the lifestyle patterns of consumers who pursue environmentally friendly and rational consumption by adding social and environmental concepts to well-being. Since 2006, the Korea Standards Association has been awarding LOHAS certification to products and services of companies that have demonstrated eco-friendly and socially contributive efforts and achievements for sustainable development of society.

LG Electronics currently manufactures most of its residential air conditioners, commercial air conditioners, and ventilation systems related to heating and cooling air conditioning products at its Changwon plant in Korea, except for some wall-mounted air conditioners produced overseas.

The company stated that it is pursuing carbon neutrality throughout all processes related to its products through the development of high-efficiency products, improvement of environmental hazards of products, management of waste during production and after product use, and reduction of greenhouse gases, while striving for resource circulation.

In accordance with international environmental regulations, LG Electronics independently reduces or discontinues the use of harmful substances and strictly manages harmful substances that may be included in various parts, raw materials, packaging materials, and batteries below international standard levels through its own certification system for its partners.

Meanwhile, LG Electronics provides total air quality management solutions optimized for various spaces, including residential air conditioners, commercial air conditioners, and embedded ventilation systems.

The LG Whisen residential air conditioner is equipped with a clean management function that keeps the air path inside the air conditioner clean. This function includes the Filter Clean Bot, which automatically cleans the ultra-fine filter once a week, and its air purification performance has received CAC certification from the Korea Air Cleaning Association.

The LG Whisen system air conditioner is a product that integrates the latest energy technologies such as industry-leading inverter control technology, the R1 compressor that reduces noise and increases efficiency, and a heat exchanger that enhances heating and cooling efficiency. The embedded ventilation system manages air quality in spaces like offices where opening windows is difficult by featuring a built-in CO2 sensor, air purification interlocking operation, humidifying and dehumidifying functions, while also saving energy.

Jae-sung Lee, Vice President and Head of LG Electronics Air Solution Business Division, said, “Whisen air conditioners, which consider not only high efficiency and high performance but also health and the environment, will provide differentiated value to customers once again through this LOHAS certification.”
