The top themes: the future in sight

Solutions for a sustainable future is the motto of ISH 2023 where everything will revolve around innovations that contribute to achieving climate-protection targets and a responsible and efficient use of resources. Buildings, which account for around 40 percent of energy consumption, can play an important role in this. In the ISH Energy section, the focus is on the expansion of renewable energies, decarbonization, greater energy efficiency, heat-pump technology and the use of hydrogen. This is reflected by the top themes, Solutions for Heat Transition and Climate Protection and Energy Efficiency & Sustainability. An integral part of ISH, the subject of air, also makes an important contribution to the superordinate goal of CO2 reduction and energy saving and will be given due prominence in 2023 by the top theme of Indoor Air Quality. In the ISH Water section, the spotlight with Resource Water is on the sustainable use and supply-side security of drinking water. The second top theme, the Sustainable Bathroom puts the emphasis on ecological factors in the bathroom.
