Samsung AI Energy Mode in select washing machines has been verified by Carbon Trust Assurance for real-world carbon reduction. The validation comes from the Decarbonizing the Use-Phase of Connected Devices (DUCD) specification.

This is the very first product feature ever validated under this global standard, proving measurable GHG savings during actual consumer use.

Key verified results (July 2024–June 2025):

• Total energy used via SmartThings: 12.28 GWh → 5,266 tCO2e emitted
• Thanks to AI Energy Mode: 5.02 GWh saved → 2,084 tCO2e reduction

That’s equivalent to the daily electricity needs of ~169,000 US households. Samsung will showcase these energy-saving solutions at CES 2026. The company will also unveil new futuristic home appliances at the exhibition.

Samsung AI Energy Mode works when your appliance is paired through the SmartThings app. It’s available for free on the Play Store for Android and the App Store for iOS devices. It offers a great experience, realizing Smart Home vision.

“At Samsung, we continue to design our products and services with environmental factors in mind,” said Jeong Seung Moon, Executive Vice President and Head of the R&D Team for Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “AI Energy Mode is a key example of such efforts, and with this verification recognizing its effectiveness, we will strive to further improve our products, features and services during their actual use.”

The DUCD (Decarbonizing the Use-Phase of Connected Devices) initiative is led by the Carbon Trust, a global climate consultancy, which partners with businesses, governments, and financial institutions to drive positive climate action.
