Trade fairs for the craft industry - Theme specials
February 2022
Finally, in-person exchanges are back! After the pandemic-related break, the IFH/Intherm, the trade fair for sanitation, home and building technology, will be the meeting place for the industry from April 26-29, 2022, in Nuremberg.
In terms of content three major topics in focus: Heating technologies of the future, smart building automation and hygiene.
On the subject of hygiene Ventilation systems and Air Conditioning In the center. On the other hand, the topic plays a role in the area Sanitary both in the Water treatment as well as in the Generational pool continues to play a crucial role.
It is not only since the pandemic that the Indoor air quality and the associated impact on the health and well-being is becoming increasingly important in building planning. Indoor air quality has certainly become more important due to Corona, but also the worsening Efficiency requirements for residential and non-residential buildings contribute to this. On the IFH/Intherm present over 40 companies present their products and solutions to air conditioning and residential ventilation systems that can be directly compared with each other.
Some air conditioning manufacturers have responded to the Covid-19 pandemic and are offering Mobile air purification solutions The filtering process in mobile air purifiers is often divided into stages. Pre-filters hold Coarse materials off to the downstream fine filter not to be loaded unnecessarily. The installation of central ventilation systems could often not be implemented quickly enough in the current situation. This is precisely why it is important to define new building technology standards and establish a system that makes technical air pollution control mandatory, at least in public buildings, during new construction and renovation. Depending on the situation, this can be a mix of mobile and permanently installed solutions.

A second driver for the increasing importance of air conditioning technology is tightened efficiency requirements for residential and non-residential buildingsThe new traffic light coalition government intends to gradually adapt the standards for significant expansions, conversions, and extensions of existing buildings in the Building Energy Act (GEG) so that the parts to be replaced comply with EH 70. As of January 01, 2025 should also New building standard KfW-EH 40 be valid.
Buildings are becoming increasingly airtight, but people’s need for ventilation remains – not only to to exchange used air, but also, for example, To remove humidity, odors or pollutants from the room airThis creates a new efficiency problem, because if 50 percent of a building's heat loss is already due to manual ventilation today, this percentage will increase even further in the future. Therefore, residential ventilation systems are becoming standard in new buildings and major renovations.
The NürnbergMesse has in its halls and conference rooms powerful ventilation systems. These ensure up to 100 percent fresh outside air every ten minutes for complete air exchange. The exhaust air escapes through the hall roofs and does not flow back onto the grounds or into the halls. Based on current knowledge, transmission of coronaviruses via ventilation or air conditioning systems can be virtually ruled out in this operating mode.
This ensures the best possible conditions for the safety of all trade fair participants. Furthermore, IFH/Intherm will take place in compliance with the COVID-19 regulations in effect during the event period.
