United States. Panasonic Eco Solutions North America, a division of Panasonic Corporation of North America (Panasonic), has been named the 2017 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year. The achievements of Panasonic Eco Solution will be recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington on April 26.
ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year in 2010 and 2011, and winner of the Sustained Excellence Award every year since 2012, Panasonic Eco Solutions will again be honored in 2017 with EPA's most outstanding award for its long-term commitment to innovation and sustainability. With the highest efficiency (up to 18.6 CFM/Watt) of any ENERGY STAR-rated fan, Panasonic continues to exceed standards with virtually every product in its line, where guidelines exist.
"It's hard to overstate the value Panasonic places on our partnership with ENERGY STAR," said Patricia Monks, Product Manager of Panasonic Eco Solutions North America. "We are very proud to be recognized by the EPA for the eighth consecutive year. This award is emblematic of our shared vision of creating a healthier and more sustainable environment through our commitment to energy efficiency and innovation. We are dedicated to providing a complete line of high-performance, low-cost ventilation solutions that respect the environment and reduce costs for our customers."
In 2015, ENERGY STAR and its partners saved U.S. businesses and consumers $503 billion kilowatt hours and $34 billion in their energy bills, while achieving broad emissions reductions.
