Samsung Electronics announced on July 19 that it will supply large-scale heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions to Islamic mosques in major cities across Saudi Arabia.
The company will provide over 1,000 high-efficiency HVAC units to more than 100 mosques in eight key cities, including the capital Riyadh and Dammam. This achievement demonstrates Samsung's ability to meet the unique needs of religious facilities while adapting to the extreme climate of the Middle East.
Considering the structural characteristics of mosques, which often accommodate large gatherings and feature high ceilings, Samsung has prominently introduced its circular air conditioner, the '360 Cassette.' This model utilizes the world's first circular design and patented 'booster fan' technology to minimize airflow loss and distribute cool air horizontally over a wide area.
As a result, the system provides uniform cooling throughout the space without the discomfort of direct cold air, while its low-noise design ensures a quiet worship environment.
The customized design also stands out for its ability to withstand Saudi Arabia's extreme heat. The outdoor units, which have been introduced alongside the indoor systems, maintain stable cooling performance even when outdoor temperatures soar above 50 degrees Celsius.
Samsung plans to use this supply as a stepping stone to expand its collaboration in Saudi Arabia, including signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with 'Gorus Charity' to promote local mosque renovation projects.
Last year, Samsung supplied system air conditioners to public transportation facilities in Riyadh and implemented the integrated building solution 'b.IoT' at a private school in Dubai, UAE, continuing to expand its B2B infrastructure projects in the Middle East.
Im Seong-taek, Vice President of Samsung Electronics' DA Division, stated, "This supply is a testament to our competitive HVAC solutions tailored to the characteristics of worship spaces and local culture. We will continue to expand our B2B HVAC business in the Middle East with solutions that reflect regional environments and customer demands."
