SINGAPORE, Aug. 1, 2012 -– At the LG Global HVAC Conference held at the Raffles City Convention Centre today, LG Electronics (LG) demonstrated its ongoing commitment to sustainability through a showcase of its cutting-edge energy solutions for the green building sector in Singapore and the Southeast Asia region.

“We’re pleased to introduce this comprehensive suite of energy-efficient HVAC products and solutions to our clients and industry partners in the Southeast Asia region,” said Kam-gyu Lee, President of LG System Air Conditioning Business Unit. “The advanced technologies we have incorporated provide some of the best energy efficiency returns in the market.”

The LG Global HVAC Conference offered insightful discussions about developing structures that place a minimal burden on the environment.

Highlighting the event was LG’s latest HVAC and Energy Solution portfolio, led by the eco-friendly LG Multi V III air conditioning unit. Boasting three key benefits — higher energy efficiency, larger capacity and longer piping design — the Multi V III is the company’s most advanced and energy efficient solution to address all the major HVAC requirements in Southeast Asia.

Keynote speakers for the conference included Mr. Tan Tian Chong, Executive Director of Singapore Green Building Council, and Professor Chou Siaw Kiang of the National University of Singapore, who shared their insights with over 300 delegates.

“Singapore is highly energy-conscious when it comes to architecture and design as well as building and construction,” said Scott Jung, Managing Director of LG Electronics Singapore. “Our comprehensive lineup of HVAC and energy solution products enable   us to address the demands of this rapidly growing market and provide customers with the best-of-breed eco-friendly solutions that will grow with them as they grow.”
