The demands placed on buildings continue to grow. Energy efficiency, digitalisation, comfort and the conservation of resources can only be achieved if heating, ventilation, plumbing and digital systems work together. From 15 to 19 March 2027 in Frankfurt am Main, ISH will demonstrate how this can lead to concepts for planning, installation, operation and production. According to Messe Frankfurt, more than 2,000 exhibitors are expected at ISH 2027.
ISH is aimed at system planners, architects, skilled trades, industry, building operators and the housing sector. “The high level of industry participation is a strong vote of confidence. The fact that the market-leading companies will be represented at ISH underlines the importance of the world’s leading trade fair as an international platform. This is where the relevant market players come together, new business relationships are formed and current developments can be experienced first-hand,” says Stefan Seitz, Director Brand Management ISH.
ISH 2027 structures its offering into nine solution fields: “Bathrooms”, “Pools & Spas”, “Water-bearing Systems”, “Installation”, “Heat Generation”, “Indoor Air”, “Intelligent Building Management”, “Software Solutions” and “Sanitary & HVAC Production”. They are based on specific applications and cover the entire building lifecycle.
Companies that have already confirmed their participation include Belimo Automation, Bosch, Buderus, BWT Wassertechnik, Caleffi, Dendrit, Duravit, ebm-papst, Geberit, Giacomini, Grohe, Grundfos, Hansgrohe, Hottgenroth, Ideal Standard, Kampmann, Laufen, Reflex Winkelmann, REMS, Roca, Rothenberger, Siemens, Swegon, Toto, Trimble, Trox, Uponor, Vaillant, Viega, Viessmann, Villeroy & Boch, Wago, Weishaupt, Wilo, Wolf and Würth.
Planning and operation
Today, specialist planners for building services engineering (TGA), engineering firms, architects and project developers coordinate far more than just individual trades. Energy supply, drinking water, ventilation, cooling, building automation and digital planning are interconnected from an early stage. Data centres, healthcare buildings and mixed-use developments add further requirements. “Heat Generation” in Halls 9.1, 10.1, 11.0, 12.0 and 12.1 ranges from heat pumps and hybrid systems to biomass, as well as local and district heating. “Indoor Air” in Halls 8.0 and 10.1 covers ventilation, air-conditioning and cooling solutions for different types of buildings. In Hall 11.1, “Intelligent Building Management” focuses on building automation, energy management and smart-building applications, while “Software Solutions” in Hall 8.0 brings together digital tools for planning, simulation, BIM and facility management. “Water-bearing Systems” in Halls 4.0, 4.2, 5.0, 9.0 and 9.1 present solutions for drinking-water installations and hygiene, drainage, process and rainwater use and heating circuits.
Installation and bathrooms
Time and cost pressures, new heating technologies and increasing requirements for drinking-water hygiene and energy efficiency are shaping the day-to-day work of the skilled trades and specialist wholesalers. In the “Installation” solution field in Hall 5.1, the focus is on tools, fastening systems, industrial prefabrication and solutions for storage, logistics and transport. The “Bathrooms” solution field in Halls 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.1, 4.2 and Forum presents bathroom concepts for private, public and commercial applications. The focus is on design, accessibility, hygiene and spatial concepts. The “Pools & Spas” solution field in Hall 3.0 extends the range to applications for private homes, hotels, wellness facilities, municipal swimming pools, healthcare facilities and other leisure facilities.
Sanitary & HVAC Production
Manufacturers, OEMs, suppliers, wholesalers, and procurement and development departments are facing increasing demands in terms of quality, sustainability, resource efficiency and resilient supply chains. The “Sanitary & HVAC Production” solution field in Halls 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 8.0, 9.0, 9.1, 10.1, 11.0 and 11.1 covers components, materials, production processes, engineering services and OEM solutions for sanitary, heating, air-conditioning and ventilation technology. One focus is the “Drinking Water Compliance Forum” in Hall 4.1. Organised in cooperation with figawa, the German association for companies in the gas and water sector, it provides manufacturers, suppliers and OEMs with guidance on requirements for materials and products in contact with drinking water, testing procedures, certification and market access, and brings companies together with testing bodies, laboratories, certification organisations and consultants.
Conference programme
ISH 2027 offers a professional programme – in addition to the exhibition – featuring special zones, presentations, panel discussions and guided tours. These include the “Green Roofs & Facades” area, a new special show featuring bathroom trends, the Energy Consultants’ Day, the inaugural “Skilled Trades Meet Care” congress, the Hospitality Day and the Chimney Sweeps’ Day.
