Panasonic announced the start of an innovative CO2 saving energy solution for the smart city project'Future Living® Berlin' (Berlin, Germany, Jan. 20.07.01, XNUMX). living), which is realized as a smart energy solution that combines Panasonic's high-efficiency air to water heat pump, solar panel and storage battery with an intelligent and efficient energy management system.
* Heat pump system that heats water and circulates hot water using air as an endothermic source
For Panasonic, Future Living® Berlin is a fundamentally important experiment in building state-of-the-art energy solutions. Panasonic energy experts and software engineers at the European R&D center have developed energy management solutions that optimize energy use and connect electricity to the heating sector. The smart control unit combines the air heat pump with the efficient and environmental Panasonic technology such as solar panels. According to Ralf Becker, energy group project leader at Panasonic's European R&D Center, "This solution is the world's first solution developed in collaboration with major research institutes for distributed energy management." It has improved to 15%.”
At the heart of Future Living® Berlin's eco-friendliness and sustainability is Panasonic's air hydrothermal pump product line “Aquarea”. This highly energy-efficient technology can operate with little or no carbon when driven by the renewable energy provided by the 195 Panasonic HIT panels producing 600 kWp of electricity. Due to the patented silicon technology, Panasonic's solar system is 10% more efficient than conventional modules. The air water system can be used for cooling as well as heating and hot water using renewable energy. To improve performance, this heat pump includes a cloud-based connection called'Aquarea Service Cloud', which makes users more reliable. More efficient CO2 emissions can be saved by making maintenance visits more efficient and partially remote. Users can monitor power usage and manage temperature settings accordingly.
The digital and connected living of Future Living® Berlin begins with residential apartments. This started from the idea of having an apartment manager as the central hub and living a smart life connected to the overall Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure including Panasonic TV and smart speakers. Digital & connected solutions include smart building solutions, security, and even safety that improve the overall convenience of residents. Junichi Suzuki, Chairman and CEO of Panasonic Europe BV, said, “Future Living® Berlin is a way of life of the future that shows how to live tomorrow with a focus on sociality, digital and connectedness, greenness and sustainability.
