ISH 2015: Energy Efficiency in the Heating Market – ISH Energy Presents Entire Spectrum of Innovative Building Controls Technology

The heating and environmental controls market has a key role to play making the energy turnaround a success. Over 50 percent of the energy consumed by end users in Germany is for the generation of heat in single and multiple family dwellings and in the industrial sector. At the same time the German market is marked by the slow pace of modernisation. Of the approximately 20.5 million central heating units around 70 percent are significantly more than 20 years old and not as efficient as they need to be. Modernising the existing outdated heating systems could reduce the amount of energy consumed by end-users by around 13 percent. If the existing industrial systems were also modernised, it would even be possible to achieve savings of around 15 percent of end-user energy consumption in Germany.

Furthermore the use of modern air-conditioning and ventilation equipment can also bring considerable energy savings. The conclusion from a recently completed survey is that the air-conditioning units in non-residential buildings in Germany are on average around 25 years old. A large part of these do not consume energy efficiently. Huge savings of heat energy and electricity would be achievable through operational optimisation, fan replacement or the retrofitting of efficient heat recovery.

Increasing the pace of modernisation in the building sector would not simply benefit the climate and the environment, because the heating and environmental controls market is a significant part of the economy that promotes growth, employment and innovation.

The latest developments in the field of energy efficient heating technologies and environmentally-friendly air-conditioning, cooling and ventilation equipment will be on show at the ISH, the leading world trade fair, in Frankfurt am Main from 10 to 14 March 2015. Under the motto ‘Comfort meets Technology’, over 2,400 exhibitors, including all market and technology leaders from home and abroad, will present their latest innovations – a spectrum covering all aspects of future-oriented building solutions.

The ISH Energy section is located on the western side of the fairground. With focus on heating and air-conditioning technology combined with renewable energies, ISH Energy presents the complete spectrum of innovative building-systems technology. Cooling, air-conditioning and ventilation equipment is brought together under the name ‘Aircontec’. There, the spotlight is on sustainable and future-oriented solutions for air-conditioning and ventilation.
