Samsung Electronics (UK) Limited has teamed up with Eco-Bos to supply smart home technology to the West Carclaze Garden Village in Cornwall.
The development includes 1,500 homes, with 350 acres set aside as a country park.
All homes in West Carclaze are rated energy performance certificate (EPC) A, a top energy efficiency rating reached by just 0.3% of homes in the UK.
Each home comes with a Samsung heat pump, climate hub, solar PV and smart devices for handling cooking, laundry and dishwashing, all managed through the SmartThings app.
Residents can expect to save time and money, with each household able to generate a profit of up to £1,779, based on standard assessment procedure (SAP) calculations from the Elmhurst Energy Report.
For comparison, a typical UK family’s electricity and gas bill is about £1,719.45 per year, so savings could reach up to £3,498 a year.
The site also features a 7.5 MW solar farm to support renewable energy supply.
Through the SmartThings platform, residents can control heating, lighting, security and appliances from one app.
The system can connect with over 350 partner brands, including Amazon Alexa and Philips Hue.
SmartThings AI Energy Mode lets appliances like washing machines and fridges automatically reduce energy use.
Mark Seaman, head of the Samsung B2B integrated offering team, said: “We know that people want homes that are more affordable to run and easier to live in.
“By partnering with Eco-Bos, we’re making it possible for residents to enjoy real savings on their energy bills, and giving them the opportunity to gain time back for themselves through the convenience and benefits of connected living.
“For developers, this collaboration shows that building tech-enabled communities is achievable today, meeting both new regulations and the needs of modern homeowners.”
Seaman added: “We’re excited to help set a new standard for what home life can be, and we hope West Carclaze will inspire others to follow.”
Dorian Beresford, chief development officer at Eco-Bos, said: “Our collaboration with Samsung shows what’s possible when innovation and technology combine to serve people, not just performance.
“The future of housing must be cleaner, smarter, and more adaptable to people’s lives — with homes that work for people, not the other way around.
“This project brings that vision to life. Every home is designed to give back more than it takes — in energy, comfort, and quality of life.”
Beresford added: “It’s proof that carbon-positive living isn’t a dream for tomorrow; it’s happening today.”
