“ISH China & CIHE is an excellent promotional platform. Participating in the show will enhance our corporate image and aid us in acquiring quality business leads,” said Jo Dai, marketing manager and China’s branch representative for FRANKISCHE from the German Pavilion.

Dai added, “This year, we will introduce our new profi-air intelligent domestic ventilation system. With this product, we hope to showcase our company’s technological advancements to the prospects at the show.”

The congress organizers have further enhanced discussion topics by collaborating with both Chinese and international industry associations to better reflect the industry’s most current issues and breakthroughs.

The congress has been divided into five sessions, focusing on the areas of central heating, individual heating, heat pump technology, international floor-heating and international air-conditioning.

Additionally, the organiser has partnered with China District Heating Association (CDHA), Federal Industrial Association of Germany House, Energy and Environmental Technology (BDH) and Association of Air Conditioning and Ventilation in Buildings (FGK) to launch three innovative HVAC technology display zones. These display zones will showcase Europe’s latest HVAC technologies, as well as key HVAC energy-saving projects in Northern China.

Due to the popularity and anticipation for the newly-established Building Water Supply and Drainage section at the 2014 show, Messe Frankfurt has also teamed up with the Architectural Society of  China Water Supply and Wastewater Association to organise the first-ever International Building Plumbing Congress at ISH China & CIHE.

The theme of the Congress will be “An analysis on the development and market trends of the building plumbing industry in China, as well as the exchange of international cutting-edge plumbing technology and products”.
