The insatiable appetite for high-end office and residential blocks in Nairobi has seen Kenya’s construction industry enjoy a sustained boom, with both the commercial and residential real estate markets growing steadily to keep up with the country’s push to attain higher economic growth.
To meet industry demand for smarter, faster, higher capacity air conditioning systems, global electronics company Samsung Electronics on Wednesday launched the 3rd generation Digital Variable Multi System (DVMS).
Speaking during the product launch Robert Ngeru, Vice President & COO of Samsung East and Central Africa, said the new DVMS air conditioner was especially suited for the price sensitive East African market due to its energy and space efficiency capabilities.
“According to a recent report, Nairobi has been named as one of Africa’s best cities to invest in, which we are currently seeing judging by the number of multinationals and local companies setting up and expanding in and around the Central Business District and areas such as Upper Hill and Westlands,” said Mr. Ngeru.
“With the boom in both residential and commercial real estate we see an opportunity to provide powerful yet energy efficient air cooling systems, designed with the local high costs of energy and efficient space usage in mind, both of which this DVMS considers.” he added.
The dual smart inverter has two compressors that operate simultaneously, providing balanced oil distribution and therefore quick cooling and heating, which in turn results in better energy efficiency and hence lower energy spends.
“The upgraded vapour injection system within the compressor increases the refrigerant flow rate by 20% compared to the conventional products, while innovative, clean design not only decreases the space occupied by the unit, but allows for the customisation often required by contractors developing high rise buildings in limited spaces.” added Mr. Ngeru.
The reduction in footprint gives the property developer more space to put up other facilities such as solar panels, as per a 2014 directive by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) requiring homes and commercial buildings that consume more than 100 litres of water daily to fit solar panels.
In addition to weighing 25% less than conventional air conditioning system units and therefore costing less to install, the smart system air conditioner also has a multi-step diagnose function that enables the end user to easily detect any malfunction in the system and recover the last 30 minutes of operation data.
