are also home to a dense network of offices and plants

2007 TGA congress at Kermi
The traditional TGA congress took place at Kermi for already the 11 th
time on May 7 and 8, 2007. Numerous participants from planning offices and
architects offices – who had travelled from all over Germany – were given the opportunity
over both days to learn as much as possible about current topics from
respected experts in the field. This was an opportunity to make new contacts,
have a discussion with the course instructor and speaker, and therefore to seek
out information on a one-on-one basis. The first day of the event was brought to
a relaxed close with a joint meal and an evening reception. The key topics of the
2007 Kermi TGA congress were comfort and energy efficiency, heat distribution
and the design of heat distribution systems, as well as the legal assessment of
non-functioning heating systems (liability). The speeches given by the speakers,
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Richter, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rainer Hirschberg and Dr. Frank
Eisenmann, can be found on the Internet at www.kermi.de. «
