POSCO E&C announced on the 22nd that it signed a business agreement with LG Electronics on the 21st at its Songdo office in Incheon to develop customized products for remodeled multi-family housing.

Following last year's permanent exhibition of the "Remodeling Consumer-Only Model House" applying remodeling-optimized units, this year they are collaborating with LG Electronics, which possesses outstanding technology not only in home appliances but also in the air conditioning sector.

The remodeling project focuses on securing high ceiling heights inside the units since existing structures are reused. In other words, the depth of the ceiling must be minimized as much as possible, which is determined by the design of the system air conditioner and various piping. POSCO E&C expects that air conditioner designs optimized for remodeled apartments will be applied through this agreement.

Additionally, through the construction simulation function of the digital construction management platform, interference between construction trades and the most efficient construction methods during remodeling work are pre-checked. POSCO E&C's core professional talent group, the "A Team," is actively involved. Launched in May this year, the A Team embodies the meaning of "Agile." A total of 16 A Teams are working to achieve results in areas such as profitability improvement, new product and technology development, and new business discovery.

A POSCO E&C official stated, "We will accelerate the development of remodeling-customized technologies to proactively respond to customer expectations, including new ceiling-type system air conditioner construction methods currently under development," adding, "We plan to add value to the world through challenges toward space."
