Mr. Manish Sharma – Managing Director- Consumer Product Division, Panasonic India
said, “We are thankful to the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Government
of India, to have recognized our green innovation efforts which indeed
have resulted in higher energy
efficiency of our products. One of the ways in which we have integrated
our contributions to the environment with business growth is by
creating our ‘eco ideas’ mark to help our customers quickly and clearly

Business Innovation.” Winning this award is extremely reassuring that we

Air
Conditioner is a product that a consumer would associate with high
electricity consumption in turn leading to high electricity bills. That
is why the consumers in the low to middle income group treat an air
conditioner as a high involvement purchase decision product. Having a
power consumption of 1530 W Panasonic TC 1.5 ton 5 star Jade series
gives you more energy savings over a non star rated
air conditioner in the long run. The energy conservation depends on the
input power, the running hours and the cost of per unit electricity. If
we compare Panasonic 1.5 ton Jade series having a power input of 1530W
with a 1.5 ton non star rated air conditioner
having a power input of 2510W, with 80% compressor being functional we
can easily say that the consumers will save up to 39.04 percent on their
electricity bill.
Panasonic’s
CS-TC18NKY/CU-TC18NKY, a 5 Star air conditioner is the winning product
in the consumer goods category. Several unique features in the
air conditioner make it highly efficient in energy conservation. The
Econavi mono sensor in the air conditioner can detect wasted energy and
automatically select optimum energy saving operation which leads savings
up to 20 percent. The High activity detection
feature automatically increases cooling power to improve comfort when
needed. The Anti Bacterial Filter which combines three effects in one:
anti allergen, antivirus & anti bacteria protection to provide 99
percent clean air for a healthy lifestyle. The Soft
Dry Mode starts with cooling to dehumidify and provides continuous
breeze at a low frequency to keep a room dry without much change to the
temperature. The anti-rust coating on the condenser and the super
tropical compressor make the product highly efficient
and help it perform well under high load conditions.
Panasonic
has long focused its efforts in India on developing the best products
possible for its Indian customers and employees. As a testimony
to that the company has recently inaugurated its first environment
friendly model factory in India in the town of Jhajjar, Haryana. It is
the largest manufacturing facility for Panasonic’s global operations yet
the factory will create almost zero waste. The
introduction of a number of eco-features in the Techno Park Jhajjar
factory, make it one of the greenest facilities Panasonic operates
globally.
