Samsung Electronics (UK) is partnering with sustainable development company Eco-Bos to deliver smart home technology at the West Carclaze Garden Village, Cornwall, that drives down carbon emissions and increases energy efficiencies.
As part of the collaboration, Samsung will provide its smart devices and appliances to 1,500 homes with every property equipped as standard with a Samsung Heat Pump, Climate Hub and solar PV, in addition to smart devices to handle everyday tasks such as laundry and dishwashing.
Residents at the garden village, which also includes a 7.5MW on-site solar farm to support renewable energy supply, can use the Samsung SmartThings platform to manage their heating, lighting, security and appliances all from a single app.
It is estimated that each household at the garden village could generate a profit of up to £1,779, based on SAP (standard assessment procedure) calculations as outlined in the Predictive Energy Assessment from the Elmhurst Energy Report.
Mark Seaman, head of Samsung B2B integrated offering team, said: “We know that people want homes that are more affordable to run and easier to live in. By partnering with Eco-Bos, we’re making it possible for residents to enjoy real savings on their energy bills, and giving them the opportunity to gain time back for themselves through the convenience and benefits of connected living.
“For developers, this collaboration shows that building tech-enabled communities is achievable today, meeting both new regulations and the needs of modern homeowners. We’re excited to help set a new standard for what home life can be, and we hope West Carclaze will inspire others to follow.”
Dorian Beresford, chief development officer at Eco-Bos, added: “Our collaboration with Samsung shows what’s possible when innovation and technology combine to serve people, not just performance. The future of housing must be cleaner, smarter, and more adaptable to people’s lives – with homes that work for people, not the other way around. This project brings that vision to life. Every home is designed to give back more than it takes – in energy, comfort and quality of life. It’s proof that carbon-positive living isn’t a dream for tomorrow; it’s happening today.”
