Source: Cision

Pompano Beach, FL – CISION April 25, 2013) Panasonic Eco Solutions North America will be featured on Designing Spaces™, the popular home improvement show on Lifetime TV as part of a “Think Green” series episode titled An Education on Ventilation for Today’s Homeowners airing nationwide on Friday, April 26th at 7:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Lifetime.

In the upcoming “Think Green” segment, Angy Steiner from Panasonic Eco Solutions Division will meet up with a homeowner in Atlanta, Georgia to walk her and the Designing Spaces audience through the importance of indoor air quality and ways to create a healthier living space with ventilation fans.

Inadequate ventilation often leads to increased moisture and the build-up of pollutants – such as mold, pollen and pet dander — in the air. Proper ventilation design can address poor indoor air quality while retaining energy efficiency. Steiner will explain how Panasonic’s WhisperGreen® LED Ventilation Fan achieves both continuous and intermittent ventilation for optimum indoor air quality.

“Ventilation is a critical element for maintaining indoor air quality, and a good mechanical ventilation system can help protect homes and their occupants. Appearing on Designing Spaces on Lifetime is a great opportunity to show how our innovative and energy-efficient vent fans can help improve the overall safety and quality of life in your living space,” said Patricia Monks, Product Manager.

I look forward to contributing to that critical work.”Ms. Kish is a director and co-founder of the Energy Venture Forum, the foundation which established and produces the European Energy Venture Fair in Zürich.
