Intelligently Balances Energy Savings And Comfort

Air conditioners have become an essential appliance in every home. In warmer regions especially, they can be one of the appliances that consume high amounts of energy in a household. This means that energy efficiency is becoming a concern but energy savings should never come at the cost of indoor air quality or the occupants’ comfort.

Incorporating Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) into air conditioners can bring about improvements in both energy efficiency and comfort levels. With A.I., it is possible to optimize variables such as input power and temperature control – to provide a good balance between cooling comfort and energy savings.

About Conventional Energy Savings Mode

The energy savings feature has always been a common deciding factor for homeowners when purchasing an air conditioner. An energy saving air conditioner is always a good investment for the long run. It optimises the usage of energy so less power is consumed while still providing the same cooling comfort indoors.

About Conventional Energy Savings Mode

A normal cooling mode merely operates at optimal capacity to cool a room until it reaches the set temperature.

In contrast, the energy savings mode reduces the air conditioner’s energy usage by using less power - either by automatically adjusting the compressor to run at minimal speed or operate the air conditioner at a few degrees above set temperature.

While this mode provides significant energy savings, user comfort is often compromised. Air conditioners on energy saving mode lower room temperature gradually to prevent spikes in energy usage, therefore takes longer to cool a room down. Low comfort levels can impact a person’s well being and quality of life. Therefore, it is imperative to maintain a comfortable indoor environment while saving energy.

Panasonic ECO mode with A.I. Control - For Optimised Energy Savings And Home Comfort

In order to balance energy savings with user comfort, Panasonic incorporates artificial intelligence (A.I.) into its air conditioning systems. Panasonic ECO mode with A.I. optimizes both variables; input power consumption and temperature shift control, to determine the optimal combination for increased overall energy efficiency and comfort. While comfort levels differ from person to person, this feature determines its user’s optimum comfort level based on current indoor condition and the unit’s operation time, to reach the set temperature.

Feeling Comfortable

 

ECO mode with A.I. works around the ever changing temperature in the room. So whatever the indoor condition may be, you will remain comfortable while conserving energy.

Feeling Comfortable

Feeling Less Comfortable

 

Conventional ECO mode operates at preset settings to save energy without reacting to changes in the condition of the room. This often result in discomfort for the occupants.

Feeling Less Comfortable

A.I. Continuously Gathers Information on Changing Indoor Environment

Each room condition is different from one another and vary through the course of a day. Room size and heat source such as sun light, home appliances as well as body heat with occupants in the room greatly affect condition of a room. The ECO mode with A.I. feature progressively learns the room condition each time this mode is activated based on intake air temperature and operation time until the set temperature is reached. For example, in the morning it can interpret a room is in cool condition when the intake temperature is low and short time is taken to reach the set temperature. By using A.I. to regulate the information of indoor condition, the occupant comfort can be address more efficiently.

During Warm Day

When Air Conditioner and ECO mode is switched on – Maximise Cooling Comfort

 

A big warm room with sunlight and multiple appliances require a longer time to reach set temperature and cooling comfort. In this case, ECO mode with A.I. prompts the air conditioner to provide comfort quickly, in the most energy efficient manner.

After Reach Set Temperature – Consistent Comfort and Saves Energy

 

Upon reaching set temperature, this feature continuously gathers information from the fluctuations in the room's environment while the air conditioner is running. It automatically regulates the room’s temperature to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature more efficiently.

After Reach Set Temperature – Consistent Comfort and Saves Energy

During Cool Night

When Air Conditioner and ECO mode is
switched on – Maximise Energy Saving

 

When the room is cooler at night and with lesser human activity, a shorter time and less input power is needed to reach the set temperature. ECO mode with A.I. constantly adjusts power consumption to minimise energy usage while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment, all through the night.

Benefits of Panasonic ECO mode with A.I. Control

Incorporating the ECO mode with A.I. feature into air conditioners allow for optimal energy efficiency without affecting user comfort. It progressively analyses the room’s condition and reacts accordingly so that the air conditioning unit operates at a perfect balance between providing both comfort and energy savings.

Minimising your energy consumption

 

ECO mode with A.I. control prioritises user comfort as it delivers maximum cooling, efficiently. This mode is beneficial for individuals working full time from home, as extra cooling is required in the afternoons while less is required during other parts of the day. This helps their working day to be more effective - by providing a comfortable indoor environment while keeping energy bills low.

Minimizing your energy consumption

Autonomous adjustments for energy savings

 

Temperatures are typically lower when the sun is down, so the home feels much cooler. Therefore, gradual cooling can be afforded. ECO mode with A.I. is ideal for use at night, when energy consuming full blasts of cool air is unnecessary. This reduces the power consumption to maximise energy savings.

Reacts to indoor environment for your comfort

 

The environment at home varies throughout the day, depending on indoor activities. ECO mode with A.I. is useful in living spaces where constant changes in the amount of activities occur. When a rise in temperature is detected due to higher levels of human activity, this feature quickly lowers the room temperature to a comfortable level without consuming large amounts of energy.
