FOSHAN, China, Oct. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- The company also celebrated new production milestone of its R290-powered

products

On Oct.11th , Midea (000333.SZ), the world's No.1 air treatment brand, hosted a

conference themed "Green Vision, Blue Future", which united industry gurus as

well as leaders in trade and climate policies under the same roof to witness

the launch of Midea's latest "Green House" smart home solution designed to help

the globe achieve NZEC (Near Zero Energy Consumption) emissions and the

company's milestones to support the world's targets to enhance energy

efficiency and curb global warming.

Mr. Zhang Jianyu, Executive Director of BRI Green Development institute, noted

that Chinese businesses are encouraged to integrate green development

throughout the whole process of overseas investment and cooperation, which is

an excellent step to accelerate green development both in China and

internationally. He also complimented Chinese manufacturers like Midea on

marching into the low carbon field and launching its own initiative proactively

to combat climate change.

Midea's "Green House" is a seamless integration of three smart and

interoperable systems that encompass power generation, energy management and

home management. The surplus energy can be transmitted to a storage system

which not only can be used as a primary power source at night or in unfavorable

weather conditions but can also help the entire neighborhood by sending

electricity to other households.

With Midea's advanced algorithms, a smart energy management system

intelligently deploys and coordinates solar power generation, energy storage,

charging and discharging, which can work in tandem with the MSmartLife system

to power all smart home appliances in the house, including air conditioners,

refrigerators, washing machines and kitchen appliances. The result is an

energy-independent home that leverages a whole set of Midea's state-of-the-art

technologies to achieve NZEC and maximize energy utilization, in line with the

company's ambition to fully cut carbon from households.

A ceremony was also held during the event to mark the production of the

2,100,000th Midea R290 air conditioner (AC), the first AC unit ever granted

with Germany's Blue Angel ecolabel.

Mr. Kristian Mao-Chang Wilkening, Project Director of Deutsche Gesellschaft für

Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) expressed his appreciation for the

company's efforts and contribution to low-carbon development. He said, "For

R290, Midea was the first manufacturer to obtain the Blue Angel certificate.

This proves that Midea meets the highest environmental standards. Rolling off

2,100,000th units is impressive."

Awarded by United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) for its

exceptional contribution to fighting against climate change, Midea has been

spearheading a decade-long project to develop a mass-producible, efficient and

reliable solution by replacing HCFC-22 with propane (R-290). Statistics from

UNIDO in 2020 showed that Midea's R-290-powered products have helped eliminate

ozone-depleting potential and curtailed the equivalent of over 970,000 tons of

CO2 annually.
