Panasonic to recognise best projects

UK: The Panasonic PRO Awards 2025, which recognise and highlight the best projects to have implemented Panasonic’s sustainable solutions, is now open for entries.

The Panasonic PRO Awards recognise outstanding achievements in the design, specification, installation, and commissioning of Panasonic heating and cooling solutions. 

Architects, consultants, distributors, installers and engineers throughout Europe are invited to submit their best projects in four categories: residential, hospitality, retail and commercial.

Panasonic says that the judges will be looking for innovative solutions, in particular those that have made a great difference and provide high quality and performance, on top of cost effective, aesthetic and efficient solutions.

In addition to the above entries, the judges will also select the most outstanding projects for four special recognition awards: best innovative project, best sustainable project, best natural refrigerant project and indoor air quality.

Winners will be invited on a trip to the Czech Republic for a special awards ceremony, plus have the chance to see first-hand the manufacturing process behind the company’s Aquarea heat pumps in its recently expanded factory.

To be eligible, projects must be based in Europe and have been completed between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2024. The deadline for submitting entries is 28 March 2025.
