There was also an experimental display of the Zero-Eco House,  a new concept for net-Zero Energy House (ZEH). There, visitors could learn about “solar panels + storage battery systems,” “thermal insulation for the entire home,” “ECONAVI equipped ventilation system, HEPA plus,” and the “Smart HEMS,” which all help realize eco performances that go above and beyond zero energy input/output.

Panasonic has also introduced the “ECONAVI,” which uses sensor technologies to enable home appliances to detect wasteful use of energy.

Home appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines that have been designed under the concept, “Fudan Premium (daily premium),” as well as TVs, dishwashers, and microwave ovens were showcased.

Advanced eco technologies 

This section introduced Panasonic's initiatives for realizing a hydrogen society. In addition to “ENE FARM,” the residential fuel cell that extracts hydrogen from city gas, a prototype of a hydrogen fuel cell (currently under development) that can efficiently create power directly from hydrogen was on display. Panasonic also introduced sensor devices that support a hydrogen society, as well as its vision of a carbon-free, comfortable, and safe hydrogen society.

Recycling resources
Panasonic has introduced its recycling activities that are being undertaken under the concept of “From Products to Products.” Panasonic accurately and simultaneously sorts three types of resin from the shredder dust generated at recycling plants for home appliances. The extracted resin is then reused to create new products. The technologies that make this possible were also on showcase.
