LG Electronics has provided its cutting-edge Multi V™ i, a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) solution with an advanced AI engine, for a new 59,800-square-meter logistics center in Singapore’s Tuas area. This project highlights LG’s commitment to expanding its heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) presence in Southeast Asia.
The logistics center aims to achieve the highest level of the Building and Construction Authority’s Green Mark certification, specifically the Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) rating, and required an exceptionally efficient HVAC system. LG met these needs with a tailored solution, enhancing the performance and energy efficiency of the Multi V i by integrating its proprietary inverter compressor and a larger heat exchanger.
The Multi V i system optimizes operation by adapting to environmental conditions, reducing energy consumption. It includes LG’s HiPOR™ (High Pressure Oil Return) technology, which ensures peak efficiency even during part-load operation. The enlarged heat exchanger accelerates cooling and heating response times, while dual inverter compressors increase durability and overall efficiency. LG’s energy management tools, including real-time Coefficient of Performance monitoring, offer insights to help operators reduce energy use without compromising performance.
As Singapore strengthens its position as a global logistics hub, demand for energy-efficient solutions in large-scale logistics operations is growing. LG estimates the HVAC market for logistics centers in Singapore is valued at approximately USD 25 million annually, with further growth expected. By supplying the Multi V i system, LG is poised to expand its HVAC business across Southeast Asia, where sustainability initiatives are gaining momentum in countries like Indonesia and Malaysia.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with LG to deliver this best-in-class facility,” said Mr. Peh Chong Eng, Group CEO of Precise Development Pte Ltd. “LG’s advanced technology and responsiveness to our needs set them apart from other suppliers.”
“Achieving the BCA Green Mark 2021 Platinum Super Low Energy certification with LG’s high-efficiency VRF system is a proud milestone,” said Ervin Chng, Director of Business Development at Fidecs Engineering Pte Ltd. “This sets a new benchmark for energy efficiency in Singapore.”
“LG Multi V i showcases our commitment to providing innovative, energy-efficient solutions for the evolving needs of our clients,” said Jaeseung Kim, Regional CEO of LG Electronics Asia Pacific. “Aligned with Singapore’s Green Mark certification and growing sustainability efforts in Southeast Asia, we remain focused on delivering HVAC solutions tailored to the region.”
