Navien announced that its NWP500 Heat Pump Water Heater has been awarded the Silver Prize at the 2025 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA).

Built on Navien’s use of stainless steel for the tank design, Navien believes that the NWP500 impressed the IDEA judging panel with its structural harmony, simplicity, and integration of form and function. Specifically designed to complement its premium stainless steel tank, the NWP500 offers a balance of sleek aesthetics and engineering.

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.”
