TOUCH-FREE BATHROOM TREND

ISH, THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE FAIR FOR WATER AND ENERGY, WAS HELD DIGITALLY THIS YEAR, DUE TO COVID-19 LIMITATIONS. VISITORS WERE ABLE TO CONTACT THE 370-PLUS EXHIBITORS VIA CHAT FACILITIES AND ONLINE MEETINGS.

The Water section focused on drinkingwater hygiene and the growing trend for greater bathroom hygiene in hotels, public toilet facilities and household bathrooms. ISH says the sanitation industry is meeting demand through dirt and bacteria-resistant surfaces, touch-free operation and hygienic electronic bidets.

The European Green Deal was among the topics discussed, with exhibitors presenting heating systems that make a contribution to achieving the EU’s climate targets. The Technology and Energy Forum looked at the significance of ventilation and air-conditioning systems amid the Covid pandemic. By constantly filtering indoor air and purging it with large volumes of outdoor air, ventilation technology can help bring about a significant reduction in the risk of infection, said the organisers.

The next ISH will be held at the Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre, Germany, from 13 to 17 March 2023.
