Navien is proud to announce that its NWP500 Heat Pump Water Heater has been awarded the Silver Prize at the 2025 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA), one of the world’s most respected accolades for design innovation and excellence.
Built on Navien’s signature use of stainless steel for the tank design, the NWP500 impressed the IDEA judging panel with its structural harmony, robust simplicity, and innovative integration of form and function. Specifically designed to complement its premium stainless steel tank, the NWP500 offers an ideal balance of sleek aesthetics and high-performance engineering.
With refined lines, a durable matte finish, and an ergonomically positioned control panel, the NWP500 is engineered not just for performance, but for user-friendly operation and visual appeal. The intuitive interface considers user height and viewing angle, streamlining access to controls for homeowners and technicians alike.
Functionally, the NWP500 represents a leap forward in energy-efficient water heating. It delivers 3 to 4 times greater energy efficiency compared to conventional electric water heaters, while maintaining a low-noise operatio and an eco-friendly footprint. Wi-Fi integration is also built in, with a dedicated mobile app that allows users to monitor and control their hot water system from anywhere.
“The IDEA Silver Award is a testament to our commitment to merging high-performance engineering with elegant design,” said David Hoskyn, Director of Product Management at Navien. “The NWP500 is not only a technologically advanced product, but a reflection of how design can enhance functionality, installation, and user experience for both homeowners and plumbing professionals.”
This award further solidifies Navien’s position as a leader in next-generation water heating solutions for residential and commercial applications, and underscores the company’s ongoing mission to deliver products that are efficient, intelligent, and beautifully designed.
