Collaboration
The forum focuses on raising political visibility and awareness of the importance of investing in efficient building technologies that both improve quality of life and reduce operating costs. As a link between industry and political decision-makers, it is committed to sustainable building infrastructures and the promotion of innovations in building technology.
As an important interface between the building technology sector and politics, the Building Technology Forum is actively involved in promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly building solutions. It uses its political dialogue to draw attention to the importance of efficient and sustainable use of resources in building design. In doing so, the Forum focuses on balanced communication in order to both sensitise politicians to relevant industry concerns and to promote innovative measures and standards.
This was the motto of the VDMA Energy Networking Day held in Frankfurt on May 7 and 8. Around 80 members from several trade associations came together to discuss strategically relevant issues relating to energy and climate policy.
With its new position paper, VDMA Building Technology appeals to politicians to set the right course for a sustainable and competitive turnaround in construction and modernization.
The amendment to the German Federal Emission Protection Ordinance (4th BImSchV) by the German legislator brings clarity and relief both for the placing on the market of smaller electrolysers below 5 MW and for large-scale plants.
At the general meeting of the VDMA Air Handling Technology Association, the association's board was newly elected. A central task for the coming years will be the fight against the flood of bureaucracy.
With the introduction of the new Ecodesign Regulation and the creation of a Digital Product Passport (DPP), the EU Commission has implemented key elements of the EU Green Deal.

Manufacturers expect order situation to improve in 2025; ISH showcases pump trends in the water, heating and air sector
Building automation is the key to climate neutrality. Smart systems optimize heating, cooling, lighting, reduce energy consumption, lower CO2 emissions, and enhance comfort and cost-efficiency – a win for both the environment and people.
Energy efficiency measures in refrigeration technology help to achieve climate protection and economic efficiency targets. The Fachverband Allgemeine Lufttechnik therefore called together experts on the subject.
The HVAC world will meet in Frankfurt: ISH Frankfurt 2025 will kick off under the motto "Solutions for a sustainable future".
The revised manufacturer and supplier directories of the Air Conditioning and Ventilation Technology specialist department list around 60 member companies of the specialist department in the current editions. The new editions will be published in time for ISH 2025.
A new VDMA publication and the symposium on fire protection and smoke extraction provide comprehensive knowledge about smoke extraction and smoke control so that action can be taken quickly in the event of a fire.
The aim of the VDMA 24001 standard sheet is to be recognized in future as a technical rule and to be taken into account in the model administrative regulation for technical building regulations (MVV TB).
Germany is at a crossroads. The construction and renovation crisis, coupled with the ambitious goals of the heating transition, calls for comprehensive measures and clear political strategies.
The new steering committee of the VDMA Building Technology Forum aims to play a more active role in the transformation of the building sector through innovative solutions and close cooperation between politics, industry and associations.
