SIG CARES FOR AIR S


IG Air Handling took the opportunity at ISH to promote its own product label CAIROX and at the same time the company’s supported vision:


´Improving air because we care´. Along with the presentation of the various services that SIG Air Handling offers as a total solutions partner, the scale model of a parking garage ventilation system drew big crowds. The model was used to demonstrate live just how an underground parking fire develops, and how the ventilation system can contribute to implementing a safe evacuation. It proved to be a must-see for visitors. For the occasion, artist Jean-Luc Moerman decorated the SIG Air Handling products with unique tattoo-like designs, which generated plenty of positive feedback for the company. An evening event attracted over 250 customers, partners, business relations and suppliers. “This HVAC trade fair with a global impact has international visitors who have an interesting profile and who implement real construction projects over the short and long terms.


“SIG Air Handling is very happy about the way the ISH fair was organised, and we will certainly be confirming our participation in 2019 shortly", says Bert Van Buggenhout, marketing manager at SIG Air Handling.


he Viessmann Group entered its one hundredth anniversary year at the ISH Energy trade fair (Frankfurt, March 14th-18th) with the launch of a new motto: “Into a new century.” The leading international manufacturer of heating, industrial and refrigeration systems illustrated its path towards a new digital and carbon-neutral century and demonstrated how it will support its partners and customers to align their companies with the requirements of the future. The Viessmann Group experienced positive sales growth in a declining market in 2016; 2017 will see examples of recent investments come to fruition. Speaking in Frankfurt, the president of the company’s executive board,


100 years for Viessmann T


• Creating a forward-looking and


entrepreneurial culture and digitalising all key internal processes. • Developing digital products and business models that are close to the core business. An example of this is “Digital Energy Solution,” a joint venture with BMW that offers digital solutions for increasingly flexible energy markets. • Diversification by investing in new business segments, particularly in the area known as Deep Tech – including the venture capital fund Vito Ventures (vito.vc) and the company Builder WATTx (wattx.io).


Energy transition


Professor Martin Viessmann, emphasised: “In this, our anniversary year, the task before us once again is to see the major challenges that face us as opportunities. We see the energy transition on one hand and digitalisation on the other.” “Digitalisation is the single greatest structural change our industry has been


faced with. It offers our market partners completely new possibilities to create an even better customer experience, while gaining them time, reducing complexity and increasing their business success, for example through predictive maintenance and the control of heating systems using mobile devices,” said Maximilian Viessmann, the fourth generation to be responsible for the company and the group’s chief digital officer. Viessmann’s main focus will be on digital services, which are key to the future


of professional contracting – from quick, online tender preparation to support during the installation phase through to ongoing operations and, finally, modernisation. The company is pushing forward its comprehensive digital transformation on three levels:

As part of a transition to using energy from carbon-neutral, sustainably-generated electricity as a key fuel source, Viessmann presented a new energy management system (EMS) at ISH. The EMS optimises the generation and consumption of electrical energy in a building and controls current-based components for sector coupling such as photovoltaic systems, heat pumps and battery storage systems. The most innovative form of combined heat and power generation is fuel cell


heating. Viessmann successfully introduced the device to the market as a world first, and is already working on the next generation of this pioneering technology. In addition, Viessmann demonstrated innovative technologies with a high


degree of energy efficiency for all fuel sources and areas of application. These included highly efficient condensing boilers in combination with solar heat, biomass heating systems, heat pumps, also as hybrid systems. On its ISH stand, Viessmann illustrated its path towards a new digital and


carbon-neutral century and demonstrated how it will support its partners and customers to align their companies with the requirements of the future.
