LG establishes its new Air Solution R&D Lab in Frankfurt (Germany) that will join the existing LG Air Solution Labs in Changwon (South Korea) and Atlanta (USA). The new structure will focus primarily on developing high-efficiency heating, ventilation and air conditioning solutions for Europe’s varied local climates. Research and testing will be carried out on a wide range of residential and light commercial HVAC systems, including heat pumps, energy monitoring systems and energy management platforms. Through executing an extensive, locally-focused R&D program, the Frankfurt lab will reinforce LG’s ability to provide HVAC solutions tailored for the European market. Additionally, the new lab will collaborate with the company’s recently launched European Consortium for Advanced Heat Pump Research to develop heat pumps that can reliably deliver high heating performance during Northern Europe’s harsh winters. To strengthen the capabilities of its European HVAC business, LG plans to recruit local talent in fields such as heat pump design and smart home technology.
