Focusing on intelligent building-services technology
The ‘Building’ segment is to be found in Halls 9, 11 and 12 of the western section of Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre and covers the spectrum from building automation, via electrical installation systems, to intelligent energy management and electric-charging infrastructure. Numerous key players are represented there with, for example, exhibitors such as ABB, Beckhoff, Busch-Jaeger, Dehn, Gira, Hager, Albrecht Jung, Mennekes, Niedax, OBO Bettermann, Phoenix Contact, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Wago, Warema and Wöhner showing their innovations. Additionally, organisations for building-automation standards, such as LON, BACnet, Enocean, Z-wave and KNX, are presenting their contributions to the development of tomorrow’s smart buildings.
The extensive programme of events revolving around the top themes of the building-services-technology industry are being concentrated for the first time at the ‘Building Plaza’ in Hall 9.0. Throughout the fair, this area will be the focal point for lectures, panel discussions and seminars spotlighting the latest developments in the fields of intelligent applications, networking and the climate-friendly use of buildings.
Connected safety and security technology: Intersec Building
From access restrictions and video surveillance to fire and data protection, the demands on integrated safety and security technology are set to climb in tomorrow’s buildings. Accordingly, connectivity and security constitute one of the top themes at the coming Light+Building Autumn Edition. The corresponding product segment can be found in the Intersec Building section in Hall 8 where leading exhibitors will be showing their latest products and solutions for safety and security in homes and buildings. They include Abus, Assa Abloy, Axis Communications, BKS / Gretsch-Unitas, Burg Guard, GEZE, Daitem, DOM, Hikvision, Lupus Electronics, Salto Systems and Siemens.

The international product spectrum ranges from design-oriented luminaires of all styles, technical lighting, outdoor and street lighting, emergency and security lighting to full-range suppliers.
