NEWARK, N.J. – April 9, 2019 – Panasonic is proud to announce that it received the 2019 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award for continued leadership and superior contributions to ENERGY STAR. Panasonic’s accomplishments will be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. on April 11, 2019.

Panasonic, an ENERGY STAR® partner since 2010, will be honored with the EPA’s most prominent award for its long-term commitment to energy efficiency, as well as for its critical role supporting future improvements to ENERGY STAR® ventilation fans. With the highest efficacy of any ENERGY STAR rated ventilation fan, Panasonic continues to exceed industry standards.

 

“Panasonic is honored to receive this prestigious award,” said Naoki Kamo, President, of Panasonic Life Solutions Company of America. “This award underscores our dedication to the research, development and design of energy-efficient indoor air quality solutions. By manufacturing solutions with sustainability in mind, we are creating healthier, more comfortable living spaces for our customers while respecting the environment and reducing costs at the same time.”

“I applaud the 2019 ENERGY STAR Award Winners,” said EPA Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation Bill Wehrum. “Their innovation and leadership enhance America’s economic competitiveness. Reducing costly energy waste improves air quality and public health while protecting the environment.”

The highest honor among ENERGY STAR Awards is the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year—Sustained Excellence Award.
