Samsung Electronics also emphasizes energy leadership through the SmartThings-based 'Net Zero Home' at this exhibition. The 'Net Zero Home' utilizes energy produced by solar panels and allows monitoring and reducing the energy consumption of home appliances or the entire household through SmartThings.

In particular, Samsung Electronics introduced the 'Resident DR (Demand Response)' service project, which collaborates with Korea Electric Power Corporation, Seoul Metropolitan Government, and Naju City to save energy. Samsung Electronics SmartThings Energy helps ensure the success of Resident DR by automatically switching connected products to AI saving mode or turning them off to minimize power consumption when the Korea Power Exchange or local governments issue a DR during peak electricity usage hours. This feature supports a total of nine Samsung Electronics home appliances, including air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines/dryers, dishwashers, and TVs, as well as smart devices from partner companies.

The exhibition space themed 'Everyday Sustainability' introduces resource circulation solutions born through partnerships. Visitors can see the 'Microplastic Reduction Filter,' developed in collaboration with global outdoor brand Patagonia to reduce microplastic emissions during the washing process, and the 'Zero Edition' chairs and rugs made from discarded PET bottles and fabric scraps, created through collaboration between designer Moon Seung-ji and upcycling fashion brand Pleats Mama.

Additionally, there is an exhibition space where visitors can experience 'SmartThings Cooking,' which enables easy and healthy meals through features like ready meal and meal kit Scan Cook and Samsung Health service integration, as well as 'SmartThings Pet Care,' which takes care of pets and provides a comfortable environment even when owners are away.

Park Chan-woo, Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Home Appliance Business Division, said, "Samsung Electronics Bespoke appliances have presented solutions that enrich daily life and save energy by combining unique product technologies with AI and IoT." He added, "In particular, moving forward, we will focus on offering a variety of sustainable solutions that are easy to practice, enabling consumers to experience a valuable daily life."
