Hitachi Announces New RACs Featuring 'Area-Eco' Operation

摘要

On September 17, Hitachi Appliances announced that it will release 8 new room air conditioner models featuring 'Area-Eco' operation facilitating increased energy savings. The models come with a newly developed, energy-saving Area-Eco remote control that adjusts the room's temperature based on conditions in the area where users are instead of the entire room. The indoor unit and the remote control communicate with each other, so when users place the remote control near where they are, the indoor unit will detect the remote control's location and concentrate airflow in that direction. Next, a sensor installed in the indoor unit detects the movement of people in the room and estimates their level of activity, automatically adjusting the set room temperature.
