Panasonic Aquarea units receive Passive House Component Certification
10/05/2021
Panasonic Heating & Cooling
Solutions has announced its highly efficient Aquarea All-in-One Compact and Bi-Bloc[1]
heat pumps, as well as its Heat Recovery Ventilation Unit, have all been
certified as a Passive House Component by the respected Passive House Institute
(PHI).
PHI is an independent research
institute that has played a crucial role in the development of the Passive
House concept, which is considered a building that is ‘truly energy efficient,
comfortable, and affordable at the same time’. It is the only internationally
recognised, performance-based energy standard in construction. Passive House
(German: Passivhaus) is a voluntary standard for energy efficiency in a building,
which reduces the building's ecological footprint. It results in ultra-low
energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling.
“It’s an honour to have units
from our advanced Aquarea range receive such an important certification,” said Jose
Alves, UK Country Manager for Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions, “We
strive to create energy efficient solutions to benefit all, whilst also
providing a high level of comfort. This Passive House Component certification is
one part in our aim to help create Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB).”
The air-to-water heat pump and
ventilation units from Panasonic have been certified thanks to its
high-performance capabilities, exceptional comfort, and low energy costs. The innovative
Aquarea technology converts heat energy in the air into household warmth,
reducing CO2 emissions and environmental impact compared
to conventional boilers and electric heaters. Panasonic is one of the very few manufacturers
to produce 3 kW heat pump models, which is what most Passive House buildings
use as it allows for energy savings and high efficiency.
Panasonic has long since been pioneers
for creating energy efficient heating and cooling units, and one of its key
motivators when developing latest innovations is its Environmental Vision 2050,
to ensure a positive contribution to society by reducing the amount of energy
used and utilising clean energy.
