Local electronics and technology giant Walton has launched the world’s one of the most energy-efficient air conditioners in the market.
Walton Hi-Tech Industries PLC’s Sponsor-Director SM Mahbubul Alam unveiled the 5.5 star rating AC at Walton corporate office in Dhaka on Monday.
The ultra-energy saving AC of the ‘Inverna’ series received a 5.5 star energy rating certificate from Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI).
In addition, the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) test found that in Eco Mode, the 1 ton AC consumes electricity worth Tk 2.19 per hour only which means this is the most energy-efficient air conditioner in Bangladesh as well as in the subcontinent, Walton said in a statement.
Mentionable, star rating refers to the energy-saving capability of electronics products. The higher star rating of a product indicates higher energy efficiency. In Bangladesh, only Walton AC has 3 or more BSTI certified star ratings.
Walton’s Deputy Managing Directors Nazrul Islam Sarker, Amdadul Hoque Sarker and Humayun Kabir, CEO of Plaza Trade Mohammad Rayhan, AC’s Chief Business Officer (CBO) Mohammad Tanvir Rahman, Chief Marketing Officer Firoj Alam, Chief R&I (Research and Innovation) Officer Tapash Kumer Mojumder, Chief Production Officer Mohammad Yusuf Ali, Senior Executive Directors SM Zahid Hasan, Dr Md Shakhawat Hossen and Amin Khan, Chief Quality Management Officer Tahasinul Haque, AC’s Deputy CBO Sandip Biswas and AC’s R&I Chief Ariful Islam were present at that time.
Officials concerned said that considering the country’s overall AC sales volume in the next financial year, the use of Walton’s 5.5 star AC will save 725,743,800 kw-h electricity which is equivalent to more than Tk 377 crore in price.
Speaking on the occasion, SM Mahbubul Alam said, “Walton is producing the most energy-efficient products with constant research from our strong R&I team consisting of skilled and talented engineers from home and abroad. Walton AC is breaking its records in energy efficiency thanks to its R&I team’s regular research and technological advances.
