ENERGY STAR Certified Kitchen and Laundry Innovations Empowering Customers with Sustainable Home Solutions

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics home appliances featured at the 2024 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show this week in Las Vegas demonstrate the company’s commitment to electrification through energy-saving innovations. LG’s 2024 sustainable home solutions are led by the groundbreaking 5.0-cubic-foot Mega Capacity Smart WashCombo™ (WM6998HBA) with LG’s Inverter HeatPump™ technology that uses 60 percent less energy usage than vented dryers,1 and 30- and 36-inch ENERGY STAR® certified Smart Induction Cooktops (models CBIH3013BE & CBIS3618BE) for more energy-efficient cooking than radiant electric cooktops.

All-in-One Energy Savings
The All-in-One WashCombo™ brings accessibility, energy efficiency, and convenience to improve customer’s lives at home. One appliance that does it all – runs a complete wash and dry cycle in under two hours, without having to transfer clothes.2 As the largest capacity combo model available, the All-in-One WashCombo™ accommodates larger loads, including king-size comforters, without requiring special electrical hookups.3 Fast and efficient, the All-in-One WashCombo™ saves time while using up to 60 percent less energy than a traditional vented model.1 LG’s Inverter HeatPump™ technology delivers quiet operation and the greatest energy efficiency of all washer/dryer combos.1

Customize your wash with LG’s intuitive LCD dial, streamlining controls to give you more of what you need with each turn of the dial, from setting descriptions and helpful prompts to status updates and remaining cycle time. Built-in intelligence takes the guesswork out of laundry – built-in sensors use AI technology to detect fabric texture, soil level, and load size, then automatically select the right wash/dry motions, temperatures and more for advanced fabric care.

In addition to providing energy efficiency, the space-saving 2-in-1 configuration, ventless design and standard 120v plug enable installation virtually anywhere, bringing the convenience of in-home laundry to all, from high-rise condos to smaller space. Compatible with multiple pedestals and riser options, users can further customize their laundry space, including the option for a secondary pedestal washer with the LG SideKick™ (WD300), to tackle two loads of laundry at the same time.4  Pair it with the storage pedestal (WDP6) that comes with a convenient pull-out basket or simply modify the height with a riser (WDPS2) that’s also ADA compliant.

Intelligent Home Cooking Technology
To date, seven LG induction products have been certified to the ENERGY STAR residential electric cooking products version 1.0 specification including the industry’s first-ever ENERGY STAR certified induction cooktops. The uniquely engineered LG induction cooktops offer exceptional power, precision, and responsiveness for fast, efficient heating and even cooking. Using electromagnetic energy to directly heat your cookware – and only your cookware – induction is about 5-10 percent more energy-efficient than radiant electric cooktops and about 3 times more efficient than gas6. In addition, the cooktop surface remains cool, making it safer to operate as well as easier to clean.

With a stylish, modern design, enjoy the professional look and feel of a ceramic induction cooktop featuring SmoothTouch® Glass Controls and smooth surface for easy cleaning, LG’s cooktop delivers seamless built-in style with premium functionality. Offering four induction cooktop elements of varying sizes and power levels, LG’s 30-inch induction cooktop provides tailored power and precision for all your cooking needs. Designed to work with a wide range of cookware, from cast iron to stainless steel7, it is equipped with an Energy Efficiency Indicator that helps you maximize the power and energy efficiency of each element by rating your cookware’s compatibility on a scale of 0 to 10. The higher the number, the better the compatibility of the cookware and the element8.

To further aid in energy and cost savings, the LG ThinQ Energy platform allows customers to take control of their home’s energy usage, offering control and convenience to help simplify life and enjoy the comforts of home. LG SmartThinQ™ Technology provides the ability to control your home appliance remotely or use voice commands with Google or Alexa voice assistants. Additional features include downloadable cycles, Smart Diagnosis, customer support, and more.5

Visitors attending KBIS 2024 can tour LG’s full lineup of home appliance products at booth #W2343 at the Las Vegas Convention Center from Feb. 27 – Feb. 29. For more information on all LG products, visit www.lg.com.

1 Up to 60% less energy compared to similarly-sized vented LG dryers. The industry’s most energy efficient combo based on http://EnergyStar.gov (November 2023)
2 Based on independent testing in Wash+Dry cycle with Dryer on Energy Saver mode, 10 lb. load (October 2023).
3 Based on manufacturers’ published specs of front load washer/dryer combos with a width of 27 inches or less (September 2023).
4  LG SideKick™ sold separately.
5 Available on select LG smart appliances. Features may vary by model.
6 The CBIH3013BE 30″ Induction Cooktop features a sleek and smooth built-in surface that elevates the look of your kitchen countertops. The electromagnetic heating and faster cooling on the 4 cooking zones of this induction cooktop make the surface easier to wipe clean than traditional gas or electric stovetops. The LG UltraHeat 4.3kW element powerfully boils water faster than a flame. LG induction cooking appliances like the CBIH3013BE are designed with an intuitive front SmoothTouch control panel for easy access to power levels across each of the 4 electromagnetic burners with the touch of your finger.
7 Experience the 30″ induction cooktop that heats cookware without heating the surrounding black ceramic cooktop surface. The LG 30″ Induction Cooktop (CBIH3013BE) features 4 elements of varying sizes for a variety of induction-compatible cooking vessels, from cast iron to stainless steel. Cook with efficiency and precision on this 4 burner induction cooktop that heats cookware directly.
8 The 30″ LG Induction Cooktop is different from gas stoves or electric coil stoves because once a cooking vessel is placed on any of the 4 induction heating elements, it heats only the pan for precise cooking and boiling results. No need for a flame when you have electromagnetic power settings. In addition, the 30″ 4 burner induction cooktop features the built-in Cookware Efficiency Indicator to show how compatible the cooking zones are with your pots and pans. The ThinQ app adds even more hands-free options to upgrade your cooking. The ThinQ app allows you to sync the CBIH3013BE 30″ Induction cooktop to other compatible smart LG cooking appliances, like hoods and over-the-range microwaves, in your kitchen wirelessly, as well as access remote monitoring controls, and more.

Cabana Partners with VA in Pilot to Expand Anonymous, Drop-In Support for Veterans Through Local Community Partners

Published

on

By

Pilot unites VA’s Mission Daybreak and SSG Fox Grant programs to deliver private, flexible support outside traditional healthcare settings.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded Cabana an initial one-year pilot contract—with the opportunity for a second year—to lead a community-based suicide prevention initiative in partnership with Upstate Warrior Solution and Veterans Bridge Home in North and South Carolina.

The pilot brings together two major VA investments to connect tech and peer support with trusted community outreach.

The pilot brings together two major VA investments—Cabana’s selection as a Mission Daybreak awardee and UWS/VBH’s roles as inaugural SSG Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program grantees—to connect technology-enabled peer support with trusted community-based outreach.

“This is a first-of-its-kind effort to bridge VA’s innovation and community-based suicide prevention priorities,” said Dr. Nick Armstrong, Cabana’s Head of Public Sector. “We’re testing how to reach Veterans earlier, through trusted local partners and supportive peer connection.”

Referred Veterans will access Cabana’s anonymous, moderated support groups designed to reduce barriers and preserve privacy. All participants are cameras off, use aliases, and may enable voice masking features.

The pilot’s day-to-day implementation is managed by Chris Morris, a retired U.S. Army Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel and Cabana’s Program Manager.

“You don’t always know who’s struggling—and sometimes, it’s the smallest conversations that open the door to bigger steps. I’m honored to continue to serve fellow Veterans, especially those who may not even know what kind of help they’re ready for. Cabana can be that first step.”

The initiative launches this month in Upstate South Carolina and Greater Charlotte, NC. Pending progress, it will expand in year-two to three (3) additional SSG Fox grantee communities.

Orange 142 Releases Best Practices for Foot Traffic Attribution as Real-World Visits Rebound

New guide reveals how today’s smartest marketers are turning digital ads into real-world results with next-gen attribution strategies

AUSTIN, Texas, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Orange 142, a division of Direct Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: DRCT) and a leader in digital marketing for mid-market brands, today released a guide demystifying foot traffic attribution, a fast-evolving capability that helps marketers connect digital ad exposure to real-world store visits.

With foot traffic rebounding across categories like grocery and retail, understanding how marketing drives in-store behavior has become more critical than ever. An April report highlights a surge in consumer footfall, with Albertsons’ recent 6% increase in visits demonstrating the renewed value of physical retail spaces in a post-pandemic landscape.

“In an environment where every dollar of ad spend is scrutinized, foot traffic attribution gives marketers the confidence to link digital engagement to offline results,” said Lindsey Wilkes, SVP, Business Development at Orange 142. “This guide is designed to help brands future-proof their strategies by mastering both the challenges and opportunities of foot traffic measurement.”

Tackling Attribution Challenges Head-On
Despite its promise, foot traffic attribution is not without complexity. The guide explores key challenges, including fragmented device data, evolving privacy regulations like CCPA and GDPR, and the technical limitations of geofencing accuracy in busy retail zones such as malls or shared shopping centers.

Orange 142 emphasizes best practices in user consent, data minimization, anonymization, and cross-device transparency to ensure data collection remains compliant and customer-friendly. For example, rather than tracking individuals, marketers are encouraged to analyze aggregated trends that provide actionable insights without compromising privacy.

The Rise of AI, Wearables, and Smart Devices
Emerging technologies are unlocking new layers of insight. Orange 142’s guide explores how AI-powered models, connected cars, wearables, and smart home devices transform attribution accuracy. These tools go beyond smartphone-based tracking, offering richer, multi-touch insights into the modern consumer journey, from a smart speaker voice command to an eventual store visit.

In-store kiosks and Bluetooth beacons close the loop, capturing post-visit behaviors like product lookups, QR scans, or loyalty signups, turning store visits into measurable, optimizable conversion events.

Best Practices for Brands Ready to Act
The guide concludes with a detailed best practices section, offering actionable tips for SMBs and regional advertisers looking to implement foot traffic attribution effectively. Marketers are encouraged to:

Focus on localized campaigns with geofencing or DOOH adsUse time-sensitive offers to create clear attribution windowsChoose interactive ad formats like voice-activated prompts or mobile location-based adsEducate consumers about the value exchange of shared dataAvoid the “creepy factor” by prioritizing transparency, subtlety, and context.

Cecilian Partners Launches XO KISS, Expanding Its Residential OS™ Platform to Meet Developers at Every Stage

Published

By

XO KISS is purpose-built for developers who need powerful tools and simple workflows.

NEW HOPE, Pa., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cecilian Partners, a leader in proptech innovation, today announced the launch of XO KISS—a property development platform purpose-built for growing community developers. Part of Cecilian’s Residential OS™, XO KISS delivers streamlined inventory management, real-time reporting, and a faster digital map experience.

“Our customers asked for something faster, simpler, and just as reliable. XO KISS is our answer.”

XO KISS joins Cecilian’s award-winning suite of products, including The XO®, the industry’s definitive operating platform for larger master-planned communities. Together, XO KISS and The XO meet developers wherever they are on their growth journey, offering the right level of functionality, insight, and support for every stage.

“Our philosophy has always been simple: listen to our customers,” said Philip Worland, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Cecilian Partners. “We heard that while The XO is a powerful workflow engine, not every developer needs the full depth of functionality—especially those not dealing with anti-monotony. Our customers asked for something faster, simpler, and just as reliable. XO KISS is our answer.”

Data-Driven by Design

Drawing on years of collaboration with homebuilders and developers, Cecilian Partners has a deep understanding of how teams use, share, and manipulate critical data. XO KISS addresses common pain points by eliminating reliance on spreadsheets, closing collaboration gaps, and providing teams with 24/7 access to real-time reporting and insights.

XO KISS redefines the developer toolkit with:

Next-gen inventory management: no more spreadsheets, just smart, scalable controlReal-time intelligence: automated reports and live dashboards for faster decisionsPlug-and-play builder connectivity: seamless integration with builder systemsA lightning-fast, mobile-first Homefinder experience: built to engage today’s buyer

Built with the same enterprise-grade security and architectural rigor as The XO, XO KISS ensures even the simplest operations have a future-ready foundation. As needs grow, XO KISS customers can easily scale into the full capabilities of The XO and other Residential OS solutions without switching vendors, retraining teams, or compromising data integrity.

Meeting a Critical Market Need

While some proptech companies offer stripped-down solutions, XO KISS stands apart by combining simplicity with true scalability, data security, and best-in-class customer support.

“There’s a significant segment of developers who don’t need all the complexity of larger platforms…yet,” Worland added. “We built XO KISS to meet them where they are, while giving them the confidence that as their communities, business models, and needs evolve, our platform—and our partnership—will be right there with them.”

XO KISS will be available to select new and existing clients beginning June 30, 2025.

About Cecilian Partners

The company’s Residential OS™ suite offers end-to-end digital solutions for homebuilders and developers, including the industry’s first lot banking platform, interactive 3D maps, patented property development software, digital marketing tools, and an all-in-one app for community management and resident engagement.
