LG Electronics Brings New, Innovative Energy-Efficient Commercial HVAC Solutions To LEED-Focused Architects

WASHINGTON, May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Addressing the needs of architects seeking more energy efficiency and flexibility in HVAC solutions, LG Electronics is highlighting its award-winning variable refrigerant flow VRF product line, as well as new high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rated (SEER) models for residential and light commercial applications at this week's American Institute of Architects National Convention & Design Expo (booth # 4126).

Catering to LEED*-focused architects, these commercial climate control products from the worldwide HVAC solutions provider deliver aesthetic versatility and energy-saving technologies for a quicker return on investment, according to Kevin McNamara, vice president of Commercial Air Conditioning, LG Electronics USA.

"The architecture and design community is an important audience for LG Electronics, and the AIA Convention presents an ideal forum for demonstrating LG's ongoing partnership with, and product innovations developed for, this influential group," said McNamara. "Today's architects and design experts are setting the pace for more energy efficient, cost-effective and creative commercial and residential dwelling solutions. As evidenced by the products showcased at AIA this year, LG's new HVAC solutions are designed to both meet and exceed these needs."

Multi V IIIHarnessing the power of the next-generation of VRF technology has enabled Multi V III to achieve a breakthrough with energy efficiency standards in both Heat Pump and Heat Recovery models with an increase in condenser heat transfer surface area and a new compressor. The Multi V III Heat Pump allows occupants to choose either to air-condition or heat all zones in use, while the Heat Recovery model allows for synchronous cooling and heating in different zones at the same time. Units are available from 6-36 tons and 208-230V or 460V. Multi V III is LG's flagship commercial HVAC system as demand for energy-saving HVAC technology continues to grow.

Multi V III's key benefits for building owners include:

Compact Footprint: Multi V III supports more indoor zones and takes up less outdoor space than previous models. When space or access is at a premium, this equates to significant cost advantages for the owner on large projects.

Newest Addition to the Art Cool FamilyLG's new High SEER Art Cool wall-mounted models have increased Art Cool's already high SEER ratings vastly. The 12K BTU/h offers SEER up to 26 and the 9K model offers up to 28, a rating currently unmatched by competitors. The new product offers many unparalleled features for those needing a duct-free system:

In addition to the newest member of the Art Cool family, popular LG Art Cool Mirror wall mounted units have style to fit any decor are also on display. Similar to the standard wall mounted unit, the Art Cool Mirror hangs on an easily installed factory supplied wall bracket, making installation simple. Energy efficiency for the Art Cool Mirror units range from 18.9 SEER to 20 SEER. Also on display this week, LG's Art Cool Gallery model provides a three dimensional air flow system with the look and feel of a stylish photo frame.

Expanded Product LineAlso highlighted at the AIA Convention this week is LG's expanded product line, including the new Multi V Water II, a new high-efficiency inverter water source heat pump that enables capacity to vary based on load fluctuation. This eco-friendly heating and cooling system can also be used in geothermal applications.

LG's Multi V Mini is a two pipe heat pump system that is available in capacities of 3, 4 and 4.4 tons. This system is best suited for applications with up to 9 zones that require either heating or cooling with indoor units totalling up to 5.7 tons of capacity. Multi V Mini outdoor units are available in 208/230V single phase which suits small buildings and residences.
