Samsung has officially confirmed ✅ that its SmartThings AI Energy-Saving Mode 🤖🔋 is delivering on its promises, cutting energy consumption in high-efficiency washing machines 🧺 by approximately 30%. 📉 These findings are the result of an extensive real-world study conducted in collaboration with the global carbon verification agency, Carbon Trust. 🌿🌍

Spanning a full year from July 2024 to June 2025 📅, the analysis examined usage data from roughly 187,000 Samsung washing machines 🧺 across 126 countries. 🌐 The study focused specifically on models that already meet rigorous efficiency benchmarks in their respective markets, such as the United States’ Energy Star ⭐ and India’s 5 Star ratings.

According to Samsung, activating the AI Energy-Saving Mode resulted in a collective electricity reduction of 5.02 gigawatt-hours (GWh). ⚡🔋 To put that figure into perspective, it matches the average monthly power consumption of approximately 14,000 households 🏠 in Seoul, based on data from the Korea Electric Power Corporation. 

The technology works by utilizing SmartThings 📱 to track user behavior and optimize energy distribution across compatible devices. ⚙️ Notably, the 30% savings figure was achieved through voluntary adoption 🤝, as the feature was manually activated by users during the study rather than enforced in a controlled test environment.

This verification process adhered to the standards established by the Decarbonizing the Use-Phase of Connected Devices (DUCD) initiative. 🔍 Spearheaded by the Carbon Trust 🌿, this initiative offers specific guidelines for measuring the energy consumption of connected appliances. 🔌 Samsung notes that it is the first industry player 🥇 to conduct such a large-scale verification using these specific DUCD protocols.

Looking ahead, Samsung intends to broaden its sustainability initiatives 🌱 by developing further AI-driven appliances. 🤖 The electronics giant has committed to providing consumers with transparent insights regarding energy use and carbon emissions 📊, a move designed to foster trust and encourage wider adoption of green technologies. 🍃

Samsung is set to unveil its latest lineup of AI-powered home appliances at CES 2026. 🎰 The reveal will take place during the company’s ‘The First Look’ event in Las Vegas 🏙️ this coming January. 🗓️
