Sustainable climate and building technology: Smart system integration from GEZE at the ISH trade fair in Frankfurt/Main

A total of 2,532 exhibitors from 57 countries and around 190,000 visitors: ISH in Frankfurt/Main is considered the world’s leading trade fair for future-oriented building technology and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning). The focus for 2019 is clear: responsible and resource-conserving use of water and energy in buildings.

That is small wonder, because climate protection and the conservation of our natural resources are everyone’s concern – and have also played an increasingly important role in building technology since the EU’s climate goals were established. Making buildings more energy efficient and optimising energy consumption is essential for architects, planners, operators and end-users alike.

But design, comfort and safety must not be neglected in building technology either. And that is where smart solutions come in: GEZE is one of the world’s leading providers of system solutions and service for doors and windows. Innovative solutions combine functionality, safety, comfort and design – helping to make buildings more energy efficient, conserving natural resources and reducing CO₂ emissions.

Smart building technology has a distinct advantage over manual operation of windows, doors, heaters and air conditioning systems – unlike humans, smart systems respond reliably to different programmable scenarios. For example, GEZE Cockpit makes it possible to regulate the opening width of a door in order to provide accessibility or greater ease of access. In addition, smart sensor technology increases energy efficiency, for example by automatically adjusting the opening and closing of windows and doors to variations in the outside temperature and weather. In this way, energy costs can be saved and natural resources conserved – in times of climate change and the EU Climate Agreement this is more important than ever.
