Focusing on the mission of the Beijing Olympic Games -- "Green Olympics,
High-tech Olympics, People's Olympics" -- and using its experience as
provider of air-conditioners to the Athens 2004 Olympic stadium, Haier has
designed a complete line of green products for the Beijing Games. 31
categories of Haier products have been installed in all Olympic venues in
Beijing and the co-host cities. The Olympic products are also on sale
throughout China to meet the consumers' need.
Haier has supplied all venues with 13,236 refrigerators, all CFC-free,
with 5,353 using carbon dioxide as a natural refrigerant.
1,500 green washing machines have been installed in 18 laundries
established by Haier in the Olympic Village and the Media Village to provide
quick and efficient laundry services for all athletes, officials and
journalists. This includes 530 detergent-free washing machines and over 700
double-driven washing machines. The International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) has chosen the technologies used in these washing machines to become an
international standard.
Haier also installed 2,864 square meters of solar power panels for
air-conditioners and water heaters in the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center, the
Beijing Olympic Green Tennis Court and the Olympic Village Restaurant.
According to Haier's calculation, this energy-effective system will reduce
CO2 emissions by approximately 2,140 tons per year.
Olympic venues are cooled using the Haier 08 Olympic wind
air-conditioner, which is the only air-conditioner providing "Grade A" fresh
air. It incorporates a self-cleaning function to keep the air filter clean
and unobstructed, ensuring cleaner air, while also saving energy.
"We are very grateful for the energy-efficient and non-polluting
appliances that Haier has provided to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. These
state of the art products are installed in all venues and will ease the daily
life of all athletes, journalists, visitors and staff participating in the
Games, allowing them to focus on their important work," said Mr. Chen Feng,
Marketing Department Deputy Director, Beijing Organizing Committee for the
Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG).
"We are proud to support the Beijing Olympic Games. The Olympics is the
most exciting sports event in the world. As the world's 4th largest white
goods manufacturer, Haier is glad to provide the best products and services
to the leading athletes from all over the world," said Haier Group SVP Mr.
ZHOU Yunjie.
