Since April 2013, Messe Stuttgart has installed several charging stations for electric
vehicles on the fairgrounds. The company itself has an electric Smart in its fleet.
start,” says Glawa describing the
ecological solution. “Our own sewage
system collects surface water from the
fairgrounds and routes it to the basins.
There, ecologically friendly processes
are used to remove suspended and
floating materials from the water so
that treated water can flow back to the
natural water cycle.” The prize-winning
climate control concept of Messe
Stuttgart also met current standard
sustainability criteria right from
the start. It works on the principle
of layered ventilation, a technique
that is so far unique in trade fair
construction. Instead of circulating
and replacing the entire hall air, only
the lower layer up to a room height of
five metres is regulated draught-free.
“We adjust supply air temperature
as a function of the number of
visitors, interior heat loads, solar
radiation and outside temperatures,”
says Glawa, explaining the principle.
For visitors and exhibitors this means
maximum convenience. Compared
to other modern exhibition centres
Messe Stuttgart achieves savings of
1,000,000 m 3 /h of air volume treated
using this concept.
The innovative layered ventilation system in the exhibition halls
creates draught-free air conditioning and also saves energy.
Messe Stuttgart relies on energy-saving LED luminaries for
coloured effect lighting – here at an information counter.
