In 2006, the Ministry of Industry and Trade launched the Energy Labeling Program for air conditioners, with the goal of reducing power consumption and limiting the impact of the greenhouse effect. As a result, air conditioner energy efficiency has improved by up to 35%. It is estimated that by 2030, the amount of electricity saved from energy-labeled products could reach 30%.

The program has helped Vietnamese consumers form the habit of choosing energy-saving air conditioners. This clearly reflects the trend of Vietnamese consumers always prioritizing energy saving in the context of rising living costs. In fact, air conditioner brands often focus on energy saving features while ignoring an important factor for the health of air conditioner users and the comfort of living space, but Daikin has a new direction.

Mr. Tuan Linh (30 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) shared: “When we first moved into our new house, my wife and I were only looking to buy an air conditioner at a reasonable price, and especially one that had an energy-saving feature. In addition, the weather in Ho Chi Minh City is hot and humid, so I almost always turn on the air conditioner when I get home. Unfortunately, turning it on too much makes it dry, and the whole family has sore throats and runny noses all the time. My wife and I decided to buy a humidifier. It turns out that we not only spend money on household appliances, but also spend more on monthly electricity bills.”

When only prioritizing energy saving, users easily ignore factors that directly affect health. Only when noticing signs on the body, users realize that the air conditioner is not meeting expectations and look to buy additional equipment to improve the living space. This proves that an air conditioner with integrated energy saving and health protection features is the optimal choice.

Humidity - An equally important factor when choosing an air conditioner

The story of Mr. Tuan Linh's family is not uncommon, because not many people pay attention to the humidity control factor when choosing to buy an air conditioner. Experts say that humidity plays an important role in determining the ideal atmosphere and human health.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from March to May 2025, erratic heat and rain will cause fluctuations in humidity, which can cause dampness or dryness, affecting health. Recognizing this change, Daikin Vietnam has developed air conditioning solutions that optimally control humidity.

With the philosophy of “ideal air”, Daikin Vietnam’s product lines focus on four main foundations: temperature, humidity, air, and airflow.

According to the survey and TCVN 5687:2024 standard, Daikin Vietnam has researched the parameters of ideal humidity with the perception of Vietnamese consumers and launched the Humi Comfort feature in the new product line of 2025. This feature helps maintain the ideal humidity at the target level of 65%, limiting respiratory diseases and dry skin in users.

Daikin is a global leader in humidity regulation in air conditioning. In Vietnam, in 2021, Daikin launched the FTKZ air conditioner line, equipped with Hybrid Cooling technology capable of simultaneously regulating both temperature and humidity. Continuing this spirit, in 2025 Daikin Vietnam continues to pioneer with the Humi Comfort feature - the first humidity control feature in the domestic wall-mounted air conditioner market.

Humi Comfort - A breakthrough in moisture balance technology

Humidity in the air can affect your health in a number of ways. For example, too much humidity can cause bacteria to grow, while too little humidity can lead to respiratory and skin problems. Humi Comfort’s ideal humidity level of 65% helps reduce the risk of lung and airway diseases, as well as symptoms such as dry, cracked, and flaky skin.

Humidity control not only helps stabilize emotions and improve concentration, especially in work or study environments, but also affects the appearance and longevity of household appliances. The Humi Comfort feature helps maintain ideal humidity in the living space, creating a healthy atmosphere, improving physical and mental health, while protecting items, keeping them durable and beautiful over time.

According to Daikin Vietnam representative, to maintain a healthy living space, the Humi Comfort feature is not only a "savior" for households that need to use air conditioning continuously and for a long time, but also a truly valuable sustainable investment for health. This demonstrates Daikin Vietnam's commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, towards a healthier and more comfortable living future for Vietnamese people.
