Panasonic has come a long way since launching air-conditioners 60 years ago. Today's climate control solutions are connected, and smarter than ever. At Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) Asia, a regional HVAC-R*,
water and energy exhibition, the company demonstrated:
The Panasonic Comfort Cloud mobile app covers comfort, energy savings, and fleet control. The app allows users to monitor temperatures, compare and estimate energy usage, receive alerts when an error has occurred, and control up to 200 air-conditioner units, as may be needed for environments like boutique hotels or small office/home offices (SOHOs).

Panasonic also showed that its air-conditioners can be compatible with Google Home. Voice commands can be used to switch the air-conditioning on or off, while complaining of being too cold would lead to the adjustment of the temperature.

| An energy management system for rooms makes use of various IoT sensors. |
An Internet of Things (IoT) solution for hotels keeps air quality high while offer energy management in conjunction with Schneider technology.
The solution can activate or deactivate the ventilation, lighting and blinds intelligently with the help of sensors supporting the Zigbee standard. The sensors monitor room temperature, humidity and CO2, can tell whether doors are opened or closed, and detect if there are people inside.
For example, Panasonic technology minimises odours and inhibits viruses, while door sensors will ensure that the air-conditioning is switched off if the door to the balcony has been opened. Motion and CO2 sensors can work together to determine if there are people in a room, and then switch off the lights if the room is empty.
Panasonic's energy management systems customers include Patra Jasa Hotels in Indonesia, the Travelodge Hobart in Australia, and the Gapurna Group in Malaysia.
