The selection process for the Designplus Award by ISH took place in several phases. First, the nominees were determined before the jury chose the winners in a final meeting. The independent jury – consisting of renowned experts from the sanitation and heating industry, such as Elke Oechsner (Managing Director Heizungs-Journal Verlags GmbH), Prof. Amandus Samsøe Sattler (ensømble studio architektur, President DGNB e.V.), Matthias Thiel (Consultant Business Administration Data Management, Demographic Change at ZVSHK – Zentralverband Sanitär Heizung Klima), Jens Wischmann (Managing Director of VDS – Vereinigung Deutsche Sanitärwirtschaft e.V. & Managing Director of VdZ – Wirtschaftsvereinigung Gebäude und Energie e.V.) as well as Stylepark AG (Magazine for Architecture and Design) – evaluated the submissions according to the highest quality standards. Particular emphasis was placed on sustainability, degree of innovation, as well as functional and aesthetic aspects.
‘We have received a wide range of submissions from the plumbing, heating, energy, ventilation and software sectors,’ according to jury member Jens Wischmann. ’This is an impressive demonstration of how broadly based the HVAC industry is. It is particularly pleasing that we are seeing not only excellent design, but also highly innovative, solution-oriented products that represent a real improvement. This makes me optimistic for an exciting ISH 2025.’ The solution orientation is in line with this year's thematic focus of the ISH, which offers visitors a better orientation with eight solution areas.
The nominated products represent the industry's entire diversity and show the latest developments in the following categories:
- Water & Efficiency +
