The Honeywell Home DT4 thermostat from Resideo, a leading global provider of solutions for home comfort, energy management and security, has been recognised by an international jury for the outstanding quality and design of the product.
The Red Dot Design Award has been running for nearly 70 years and seeks to evaluate and recognise the best designs of the time. This year, the DT4 secured the prestigious Product Design 2024 award.
Luke Cairns, European Product Management Leader at Resideo, said: “Resideo is committed to providing professional installers across Europe with innovative solutions that help optimise energy efficiency and deliver comfortable indoor air quality. During the product development process for the DT4, we spent time with installers across Europe to ensure our offering would have a positive impact on their installation and application requirements – and it would address the energy efficiency challenges their customers are facing. To have the product’s design internationally recognized is a wonderful bonus.”
