An important recognition has been obtained once again by Beko U.S., that received the 2019 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award in the product brand owner category for a third consecutive year having demonstrated energy efficiency best practices and proved organization-wide energy savings. Beko also was recognized as ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award, the highest honor bestowed to partners that have won consecutive ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year awards.
The award was assigned to the company, thanks to key energy efficiency innovations introduced last year. Beko dishwasher models were transitioned to a new platform designed to meet ENERGY STAR’s Most Efficient criteria, a measure of total energy savings that products must meet to be recognized as the most efficient ENERGY STAR products. As a result, its dishwasher platform managed to increase the number of place settings while maintaining water and energy consumption. Some dishwashers were designed to decrease decibel noise levels by 1-2dBA, while others exceeded Most Efficient criteria by 67 percent through implementing a compact and modular hydraulic system with a brushless DC circulation pump motor that integrates with the heater.
Beko clothes washers met the 2018 Most Efficient criteria for 1.6 cubic feet capacities or more. In addition, the company introduced a series of redesigned models with additional wash cycles designed to improve cleaning performance by 10 percent. This new series of washers also added a new check valve, designed to reduce detergent loss in the wash cycle.
The brand four-door French freestanding refrigerator being introduced in 2019, instead, offers a multi-zone convertible compartment using a R600a refrigerant to reduce the environmental impact and improve the thermodynamic performance.
«Our products are not bound simply by design, but engineered to meet the most stringent energy efficiency requirements for a more sustainable future – said Sazi Bugay, product director, Beko U.S., Inc. -. With this strict level of commitment, we are able to offer smart eco-friendly solutions to preserve energy, water and time that enrich the lives of consumers who are conscious about their environmental impact.»
