Panasonic's Innovations at IBS 2026
The 2026 NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS), taking place in Orlando, Florida, will feature Panasonic Eco Systems North America as a key exhibitor, showcasing their latest advancements in indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions. These innovations aim to enhance home comfort and build quality through sustainable technology. Their booth (#W3913) will prominently display new products, including the Intelli-Balance® Elite and Elite Plus+ Series of energy recovery ventilators (ERVs), WhisperGreen® Select ventilation fans, and the OASYS™ Whole Home Air Quality Management Solution.
The Future of Home Ventilation
Central to Panasonic's presentation will be their advanced ERV technology, specifically designed for high-performance homes. The Intelli-Balance® Elite+ Series is engineered to efficiently exchange heat even in extreme cold temperatures, with a remarkable sensible recovery efficiency (SRE) rating of 90%. This ensures minimal cubic feet per minute (CFM) loss at static pressure, making these ventilators effective year-round.
Moreover, these ERVs, alongside the WhisperGreen® Select fans, integrate seamlessly into modern smart homes, ensuring that indoor environments maintain optimal humidity and air quality. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with these solutions and learn from industry experts about maximizing their benefits in contemporary housing.
Educational Sessions for Builders and HVAC Professionals
Panasonic will also enhance the experience for attendees through a series of informative sessions led by industry professionals. On February 17, renowned building science expert Matt Risinger will address the crucial role of ventilation in meeting new energy codes and homeowner expectations. In the afternoon, Curtis Lawson, a prominent builder associated with the Panasonic OASYS Concept Home, will demonstrate how this innovative product integrates sustainable energy performance with ease of installation.
The following day, Gord Cooke, an award-winning engineer, will delve into how ERVs can elevate comfort and durability in modern homes. These sessions will provide valuable insights into the evolving construction landscape and help professionals navigate contemporary demands.
The OASYS™ Whole Home Air Quality Management Solution
The OASYS™ system is recognized as a pioneering approach to whole-home HVAC and IAQ, merging heating, cooling, and ventilation into a single integrated network. This innovative design not only simplifies installation but also promotes greater energy efficiency, offering builders a clear pathway toward net-zero readiness. The collaboration between mini-split ductless heat pumps, ERVs, and duct distribution ensures optimal air quality and temperature control throughout homes, fulfilling the increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions.
Awards and Recognition
Panasonic's commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed in the industry. The company recently received multiple accolades, including Green Builder Media's 2025 Sustainable Brand Leader award in the ventilation category and a consistent ranking in the Qualified Remodeler's 100 Most Requested Products list. Their proactive approach to sustainable living solutions, particularly through the BalancedHome® Elite+ ERV Series and WhisperGreen® Select fans, highlights Panasonic's leadership in the indoor air quality sector.
