Panasonic Eco Systems North America has announced the expansion of the WhisperFresh product line.
There are two new models: WhisperFresh (Standard) and WhisperFresh Plus, joining the established WhisperFresh Select.
The expanded three-tier platform now provides builders, contractors, and multifamily developers with essential performance and climate-adaptive options alongside the premium smart-home enabled WhisperFresh Select.
The expansion comes as builders across the US face increasing ventilation requirements driven by evolving energy codes, indoor air quality expectations, and stricter building standards.
The new WhisperFresh and WhisperFresh®Plus models extend Panasonic's fresh air portfolio to serve price-conscious builders and contractors, as well as those focused on climate-specific performance.
Each model features a built-in Fault Indicator Display (FID), flexible installation options, and DC motor technology meeting ENERGY STAR and HVI certifications.
The WhisperFresh Plus adds humidity and temperature sensing for hot, humid climates, while the WhisperFresh Select delivers full smart connectivity for premium, app-enabled integration within the Panasonic whole-home IAQ ecosystem.
"As energy codes tighten nationwide and homeowners demand healthier homes, builders and HVAC contractors are navigating increasingly complex ventilation requirements while facing relentless pressure to control costs and simplify installation," Leon Van Oostende, group sales manager at Panasonic Eco Systems North America explained.
"The expanded WhisperFresh platform was built for this moment. It provides a clear path to code-compliant fresh air ventilation across every project type, from entry-level homes to climate-sensitive applications, so contractors can meet the moment without compromise."
