EVENT PREVIEW – ISH 2019


ISH, one of the world’s leading trade fairs focusing on the responsible management of water and energy in buildings, takes place at Messe Frankfurt from 11 to 15 March 2019. The show, which sets trends for modern bathroom design, sustainable heang and aircondioning technology as well as intelligent home systems, will be held across 12 halls and include a new layout, product groups and themes


The trade fair is the sector’s international meeting place, with some 64 per cent of all exhibitors and 40 per cent of visitors coming from outside Germany the last time the event was held in 2017. At ISH 2019, the partner country is to be France. This will continue to foster an exchange of ideas and experiences at international level during the show.


O Latest technology


Digitalisation has, more than anything, impacted significantly on all areas at ISH. In the ISH Energy section, which has grown significantly in recent times, everything revolves around intelligent and efficient building services technology. Key topics include, amongst others, the strong coalescence of heating and renewable electricity, digital heating, and the increasing inclusion of IT in innovative heating technologies that goes with it. Topics such as Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) and hybrid heating systems are crucially important for this segment. Areas such as cooling, air-conditioning and ventilation technologies will be even more important in 2019. Here, under the heading of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), the focus is on modern ventilation systems, as well as centralised and decentralised solutions for both new builds and renovated properties alike.


ver 2,400 exhibitors, including market-leaders and technological pioneers from Germany and abroad, will be showcasing their products, many of them for the first time


in the world at ISH 2019.


Energy efficiency and a comfortable atmosphere in the room, the phasing out of F- gases and the resultant reduction in the availability of suitable refrigerants, as well as the development of alternatives, are all to be discussed, along with the many technical challenges facing the sector. The presentation, at ISH, of skills and competences that cross the lines between trades, closely linked with innovative building automation, will show how they make an important contribution to both planning and execution processes. In the wake of digitalisation and the Internet of Things (IoT), taken together with Building Information Modelling (BIM), also represents a constantly growing segment and a major building block in the creation of ‘smart buildings’.


Water management


The ISH Water section concentrates, first and foremost, on sustainable sanitation solutions and ultra-modern bathroom design. This area concerns, amongst other things, intelligent water-management systems and how best to make sure they are secure and safe and how best to regulate and monitor them. And clean drinking water, too, is a hugely important area, specifically against the background of increasing urbanisation.


Events programme


Alongside the extensive presentations offered by the manufacturers, the complementary events programme, will once again, provide an equally broad range of demonstrations and


presentations. To make them clearer and more accessible for visitors, the events are grouped into three ‘clusters’: ‘Selection@ISH’, ‘Skills@ISH’ and ‘Career@ISH’.


The ‘Selection’ section includes the presentation of awards, the Trend Forum ‘Pop up my Bathroom’ and a number of guided tours. Under the heading of ‘Skills’ are grouped all the specialist and technical forums on relevant issues in the sector. The ‘Career’ cluster is devoted entirely to encouraging and fostering the careers of the new and younger members of the profession.
