OFFERING GENUINE SOLUTIONS FOR THE ENERGY REVOLUTION
The EU Green Deal , life-giving air or the hygiene trend in the bathroom – the first digital edition of ISH put the spotlight on themes of social , political and economic importance .
With a total of 373 companies presenting their innovative products at the digital event , the importance of the top themes chosen was evident from the start of week-long event . Peter Altmaier , Germany ’ s Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy , discussed the foremost challenges of climate policy and emphasised in particular the great significance of one of them , the European Green Deal .
Volker Bouffier , Minister President of the State of Hesse , and Markus Frank , Head of the Economic Affairs Department of the City of Frankfurt am Main , also underscored the importance of sustainable solutions and technologies .
The Green Deal , which has been covered in the RACA Journal in past issues , was one of the important future-oriented themes in the energy section of ISH this year with presentations of heating solutions and systems that make a decisive contribution to achieving climate targets .
The current political framework in the heating market was discussed in detail in the ISH Technology and Energy
Forum . Another important topic was the vital contribution of ventilation and air-conditioning systems against the background of the on-going corona pandemic . These subjects were also covered in the Air Conditioning Forum . Great interest was also shown in the Building Forum , which offered upto-the-minute information about funding programmes and building regulations .
All participants – visitors , exhibitors and speakers – gave ISH digital 2021 a positive rating . Wolfgang Marzin , President and Chief Executive Officer of Messe Frankfurt , said he was extremely pleased with ISH digital : “ Naturally , a digital event cannot offer the strength of a physical ISH . However , we never intended that ISH digital should do so . We wanted to launch a high-grade networking platform and depict the sector ’ s most important themes in a concentrated way . I think we succeeded in this and Messe Frankfurt has been able to set a benchmark for Germany and Europe with the first digital edition of ISH ”.
