breathing well.
Panasonic's new WhisperAir Repair™
20,000. That's the average number of breaths
human take each day. The quality of the air we
take into our lungs not only affects our physical
health but also our overall sense of well-being. It is
estimated that air pollution causes 7 million deaths
per year and surprisingly, the majority of these
deaths can be attributed to poor indoor air quality
where pollutants can be two to five times more
concentrated than outdoors.
The ongoing quest to make homes more energy
efficient has led to tighter building envelopes
which, while great for preventing heat loss, carries
its own set of unintended consequences: trapped
moisture and airborne toxins-chemicals from
cleaning products, volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) from furniture and carpet, mold and
mildew, carbon monoxide and other pollutants-
have no means of escape. And since we spend up
to 90% of our time indoors, the importance of
expelling unhealthy indoor air and replacing it with
fresh, clean air has become more critical than ever.
Enter Breathe Well from Panasonic-a healthy
indoor air initiative geared towards ensuring
homes, schools, workplaces and businesses have
the freshest, cleanest air possible. As one of the
world's premier IAQ solutions provider, Panasonic
is uniquely positioned with a comprehensive
portfolio of ventilation, air purification and HVAC

Panasonic describes
WhisperAir Repair as an ideal valueadded
solution for kitchen and bath professionals
when replacing existing ventilation in the course of
remodeling or new construction projects.
As the smart home automation movement
continues to expand, Panasonic has partnered
with smart control device manufacturer, Swidget
Corp., to create an end-to-end smart home
ventilation solution. The Swidget product lineup
includes outlets, switches and dimmers that can be
customized with a variety of Wi-Fi-enabled inserts
including motion, temperature/humidity and IAQ
sensors. When suboptimal conditions are detected,
Swidget automatically activates Panasonic
ventilation devices which remove unhealthy air
from the home. So, if you forget to turn on the fan
before getting in the shower, the Swidget humidity
sensor will automatically turn the fan on keeping
bathroom moisture under control and therefore
inhibiting damage-causing mold and mildew.
Swidget devices are compatible with Panasonic
