FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LG ELECTRONICS BRINGS NEW, INNOVATIVE ENERGY-EFFICIENT
COMMERCIAL HVAC SOLUTIONS TO LEED-FOCUSED ARCHITECTS
Marrying innovative design with higher efficiency, Multi V III VRF technology
delivers AHRI certified ratings, fast response cooling and space-saving smaller footprint
WASHINGTON, May 17, 2012 – 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 III
Harnessing 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:

Cost Savings: Lower lifecycle costs compared with traditional HVAC systems on the
market today.**

Excellent Energy Efficiency:
o With AHRI Standard 1230 Certification®, Multi V III is one of the first
performance certified VRF systems. This ensures building owners receive verified
ratings.
o Strong AHRI Certified® ratings and an Integrated Energy Efficiency Ratio (IEER)
of up to 21.8 solidify LG’s position as a market leader.

LEED® Certification*: Allows building designers the opportunity to claim LEED®,
points.

Longer Piping Distances: Owners can reach extra zones that are further away from the
Multi V III unit. With up to 3,280-feet of total equivalent length, a maximum run length
of 738 equivalent feet and elevation difference of up to 360-feet, Multi V III reduces the
need to invest in extra systems and saves on installation.

Rapid Start Cooling: The fast response cooling or heating feature delivers conditioned
air faster than previous systems.
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 Family
LG’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:

Effective Air Dispersal -- an optimized 4-way swing airflow, 39ft of air throw and a 16°
to 70° airflow outlet range disperse air throughout the space.


Efficiency – optimized 3 row coil and supply fan compliment the digitally controlled
compressor and fan motors

Peace and Quiet – the fan size has been increased by 25% and utilizes a 15° blade angle
to reduce buffeting, reducing noise levels.
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 Line
Also 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.
With today’s concern for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment, the new LG Eco V is
an integral component of any HVAC system. This high efficiency air-to-air heat exchanger
allows introduction of tempered outdoor air to ducted and cassette indoor units or directly to the
space while connecting to LG’s controls system or operating standalone.
LG’s high static ducted units offer a full range of capacities from 7,000 to 96,000 Btu/h. With
short supply and return ducts, static pressure losses are minimized when compared to

conventional ducted systems. Ducted units can be installed in schools, offices, conference rooms,
homes and residence retrofits, hallways and lobbies or anywhere a unit must be concealed.
