| ISH confirms its position as leading world trade fair for Energy and Water  ISH remains more successful than ever – the world's largest industrial exhibition for innovative bathroom design, energy-efficient heating and air-conditioning technology, as well as renewable energies, ended with increases in all key benchmark figures. From 12 to 16 March 2013, 2,434 exhibitors (2011: 2, 382) showcased their new products – many of them for the first time in the world – over an area of 258,000 square metres (2011: 255,900). During the five days of the fair, a total of around 190,000 visitors took stock of the innovations of the world's leading manufacturers. The late onset of winter in far-flung areas of Europe prevented an even greater response. Nevertheless, this year, too, a good third of the visitors came from outside Germany.With its focus on conservation of resources and sustainability, the world's largest trade fair of industrial achievements in the sanitation, heating and air-conditioning sector is at the cutting edge. The 27th ISH show was all about dealing efficiently with the two resources, energy and water. This central concern ran through all the products and trend topics of the two sections relating to energy and water respectively. Under the overall heading ISH Energy, manufacturers exhibited market-ready and future-proof solutions relating to home and building services technology. With modern, efficient air-conditioning, heating and ventilation products, up to 50 percent of the energy used in a house can be saved. Investments in new technologies thus not only make an important contribution to the new energy paradigm, but also soon pay for themselves. Alongside this, functionality, comfort, convenience and sense of well-being are also all enhanced. The section entitled 'ISH Water' demonstrated that design and solutions relevant to all generations are not mutually exclusive. The bathroom is increasingly gaining importance for users in terms of the contribution it makes to the overall comfort and convenience of the home. At the same time, because of the demographic changes, demand is growing for bathrooms to be usable across several generations. The exhibitors showcased numerous ways in which these demands on bathrooms can best be met with integrated solutions. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
