Japan's electronics maker Panasonic has launched its latest energy-saving, eco-friendly airconditioners in Bangladesh, the company said in a statement yesterday.
The airconditioners are based on "intelligent inverter and eco-patrol" technology.
The energy saving benefit of eco-patrol, activated via remote control, is maximised when the unit is left switched on in a room that is used intermittently. The eco-patrol sensor intuits the level of human presence and activity in the room and if the room is empty for two hours, the air conditioner self-adjusts to raise the temperature by two degrees Celsius.
The new products were launched at the 'Air Conditioner Dealer Convention 2010' in Dhaka recently.
The company introduced different models at the programme, where the eco patrol-based airconditioners save electricity by up to 60 percent, compared to traditional peers.
Anisur Rahman, managing director of MK Electronics, Nicholas Chua, general manager of Panasonic Singapore, and Jeff Ser, senior executive (sales) of Panasonic Malaysia, were also present.
