Upcoming Trade Shows Frankfurt am Main, Germany for Heating

ISH (International Sanitary, Heating, and Air-Conditioning) comes around every two years in the city of Frankfurt to breathe new energy into its heating industry. After a four-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the fair made its glorious return in 2023 to great attendance (153,734 visitors from 154 countries). Against the backdrop of intense networking, innovation exploration, and business advancement, attendees seized the opportunity to delve into the present and future landscape of the heating transition in the building sector. The heating industry is having quite the moment as it must answer the call towards a sustainable future. Around 60% of energy consumption in Germany goes to heating and the government is on a mission to reduce emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. Thus heating technologies are finding their way towards efficiency and renewable energies. Exhibitors showcased an array of innovations encompassing heat-pump technologies, pellet-heating systems, energy management and storage solutions, intelligent automation systems, and advancements in hydrogen and combined heat and power generation. The Wood Energy Forum emphasized the pivotal role of wood as a resource for climate protection and supply security. Organized by the Federation of German Heating Industry (BDH) and The German Sanitation, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Association (ZVSHK), this forum hosted manufacturers of wood-fired central heating systems, individual fireplaces, flue gas technology systems and related industry exhibitors. The Technology and Energy Forum, organized by the BDH and other partners, doubled down on the duty towards diversifying energy sources and reducing emissions in the heating sector. Together, these forums presented a cohesive narrative of industry trends, policy frameworks and solutions that offer attendees a roadmap for navigating the evolving landscape of heating technologies. ISH has not only marked its return but has laid the foundation for a future where innovation and sustainability converge to shape the heating industry.
