Light + Building
The networked building
Light + Building opens its doors in Frankfurt am Main from March 13 to 18. Around 2500 exhibitors will be presenting their innovations for lighting, electrical engineering and home and building automation.
The innovations at Light + Building, the "world's leading trade fair for lighting and building technology", range from LED technology, photovoltaics and electromobility to the intelligent use of electricity with smart metering and smart grids.
New this year is the special show "Digital Building". It picks up on the trade fair's motto "Where modern spaces come to life: digital - individual - networked" and uses various technologies to bring digitalization in buildings to life. The focus is on the networking of trades and the technical interaction of components. The focus of the special show is on functional buildings. As part of the special show, various subsystems will be networked with each other to demonstrate the interoperability of the technologies in live operation. The special feature is standardized Ethernet/BACnet/TCP-IP solutions. The various bus technologies available on the building market are to be used as far as possible through a physically common field/automation bus network as the central transmission medium, such as Ethernet - after conversion to the BACnet IP protocol.
Overall, the focus of this year's Light + Building with its extensive supporting program of lectures, special shows and competitions is on safety technology, Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital building and trends in the lighting market. The organizer is expecting over 210,000 visitors from Germany and abroad.
