The four Project Categories are open for eligible companies to submit entries.

Best Residential Project
This award will be presented to the individual, team, or organisation that, in the opinion of the Judges, has made the most outstanding contribution and commitment to achieving improved energy performance, combined with significant, measurable reduction of energy consumption and carbon emissions. Special attention will be given to the use of Panasonic systems, the design of the installation, and the suitability of the design to a residential project. 
Best Retail Project
The Best Retail Project will judge the application that perfectly fits the requirements and ensures a positive retail experience for both customers and staff. Projects must showcase sustainable design, efficiency, cost effectiveness, and aesthetics. Entries should be on behalf of an installer or developer who has installed the Panasonic heating and cooling systems in a retail outlet or chain of retail outlets. Includes shops, boutiques, supermarkets, shopping centres, malls and other retail outlets.

Best Commercial Project
Judges will seek the Best Commercial Project that puts forward solutions to provide outstanding performance year-round without a hitch and understanding the importance of connectivity to remotely control heating and cooling. Entries should be on behalf of an installer or developer who has installed the Panasonic systems in a commercial or industrial property. Includes offices, industrial, factories, banks, and finance institutions, schools, public buildings and other similar organisations – not shops or retail operations.
