Experience technology and digitization: E-House
Hall B6 / Stand 1602
An important point of contact for architects, planners and building tradespeople as well as builders, property project developers and building owners is the 100 square metre walk-in E-House of the German Electrical and Information Technology Trades Association (ZVEH), which is focusing on the use of AI this year. State-of-the-art, intelligently connected functionalities that are suitable for upgrading existing buildings and for the construction of new buildings will be on display across all manufacturers.
Other topics include the grid-orientated control of heat pumps, charging facilities for electric vehicles or electricity storage and flexible electricity tariffs.
The E-House is a pioneering example of intelligently connected building technology. The E-House has now become well known not only among experts, but also among the general public.
The walk-in model house vividly demonstrates the possibilities of intelligently connected building technology. The functions shown are always based on the latest technology, are tried and tested in practice and are regularly updated. The E-House is supported by 61 partners from the electrical industry.
