Panasonic Environmental Vision
To achieve “a better life” and “a sustainable global environment,” Panasonic will work towards creation and more efficient utilisation of energy which exceeds the amount of energy used, aiming for a society with clean energy and a more comfortable lifestyle.
If we change now, we can help save the future
What kind of world will our children—and their children—inherit? Along with a growing global population coupled with rapid economic development, CO2 emissions continue to increase year after year. At the current rate, it is estimated that the average global surface temperature will rise by 4°C over the next 100 years.
To help prevent this, we have been engaged in a variety of initiatives over the past several decades. One of our solutions is an indoor heating and cooling system that leverages our heat pump technology. Protecting the world of today means protecting the children of tomorrow. That’s why we are committed to offering solutions that provide comfort and help us fulfil our responsibility to the environment.

Advantages of Air to Water Heat Pump
As much as 79% of the energy consumption of European homes comes from heating and producing DHW. That’s why, compared to conventional boilers and electric heaters, highly efficient Panasonic Air to Water Heat Pump technology can make a significant difference. Moreover, by converting heat energy in the air into household warmth, this technology helps reduce CO2 emissions and environmental impact. Compared to an electric heater, the Air to Water Heat Pump offers five times the output in kilowatts per every input in kilowatts. Leveraging the power of this technology can revolutionise the efficiency of heating, cooling and supplying hot water while cutting CO2. It’s the right solution for the new era of environmental consciousness.
