People spend more than 80 percent of their time in closed rooms – at home, in the workplace, fitness studio, cinema, restaurant or other institutions. In all these places, good quality air is important for health and well-being. What, however, makes indoor air quality good? What does it depend on? And how can it be guaranteed?
Increases in turnover and employment figures are what, according to the latest study by the ifo Institute, have continued to characterise the development of the home and building services technology sector again in 2018. The data was collected at the request of ISH, the world’s leading trade fair for HVAC + Water, in conjunction of the German Sanitary Industry Association (Vereinigung Deutsche Sanitärwirtschaft – VDS), the Federation of the German Heating Industry (Bundesverband der Deutschen Heizungsindustrie – BDH) and the German Association for Energy Efficiency in Building Services (Forum für Energieeffizienz in der Gebäudetechnik / Spitzenverband der Gebäudetechnik – VdZ).
Lifestyle is still the dominant notion behind the trends for the bathroom – and ISH 2019 will be exhibiting more shades of colour than ever before. This is how planners and industry alike are responding to the desire for individually designed, ultra-modern bathrooms, with an ever increasing variety of finishes and surprising effects. And the demand for variety is equally in evidence when it comes to materials, too: along with wood, it is marble and new kinds of metallic finishes that now play the major role. This trend applies equally to taps and mixers, furniture, surfaces and accessories.
France is the Partner Country of ISH 2019. With this commitment, the world’s leading trade fair for HVAC + Water is responding to urgent international challenges with innovative building-services technology at the same time as underscoring the importance of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
Ambitious targets for the protection of natural resources and climate in Europe and Germany are pivotal for the discussions that have been held on energy and economic policy over the past few years. A major key to achieving these targets lies in the largest sector of energy use in Europe and Germany, the heating market. This offers the greatest potential of all for saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions.
Innovative products and systems for one. Specific information, further professional development and networking opportunities for another. Every two years, ISH concentrates the major factors for success at the world’s leading trade fair for HVAC + Water. A particular feature is, once again in 2019, the multi-layered complementary programme. Industry experts with widely differing backgrounds and experiences can deepen their knowledge of specific practical topics and make contact with other professionals. The content of the ISH complementary programme aims to cover both current challenges and pioneering developments in the sector.
At ISH in Frankfurt, the leading world trade fair in its field, the experimental showroom ‘Pop up my Bathroom’ is all set, with its ‘Trend Colour Selection’, to provide an insight into the future of colour in bathroom design. Bathroom creations, equipment, furniture and photo-scenarios will all be showcased with social developments, current design trends and technological innovation firmly in mind.
In 2019, it is to reinvent itself both in terms of layout and in terms of visual impact and will, as a result, be setting new standards for the future. The inclusion of the newly built Hall 12 requires a fundamental rethink of the layout of all the halls. The new grouping for the various product groups and themes creates a clearer overview and greater transparency for visitors and achieves all kinds of synergies for the exhibitors. Alongside the new concept for the exhibition layout, ISH is also changing the sequence of days on which it is held. For the first time, the show will begin on Monday and end on Friday. This is to accommodate the wishes of the exhibitors and provides the possibility of an additional working day on which trade visitors can attend. At the same time, the new sequence of days makes it easier for international visitors to travel to and from the event.
ISH grows in domestic and international terms
