    Samsung Electronics' efforts towards a sustainable green future have led to an unexpected partnership with UK's Etopia, a company that leverages the latest technologies and environmental awareness to build durable and energy-efficient houses. Project Etopia CEO and Founder says the company pioneered technologies in energy, IoT, and construction industries to build eco houses, schools, commercial buildings etc. that have either no negative impact on the environment or actually provide more energy than they use.

    Etopia constructs some of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world, capable of achieving an average EPC rating of 103/100 (A+). The company wants to expand across America and Asia, and the partnership with Samsung is going to accelerate Etopia's climate change goals, all the while bringing Samsung itself more into the forefront of sustainability.

    Phase one is underway with 6,000 houses planned for the UK

    According to the recent announcement, phase one of the partnership between Samsung Electronics and Etopia is now underway. The first phase consists of building 6,000 new eco-friendly houses in the UK over the next five years.

    These houses built by Etopia will employ various Samsung technologies. Energy-efficient hydro units that can be connected to solar panels will replace traditional combustion boilers, and the houses will rely on Samsung's state-of-the-art heat pump technology for both air cooling as well as water cooling and heating.
