Light + Building 2016: A Mix of Lighting and Networked Building-Services

L+B 2016 is the world’s biggest trade fair for lighting and building-services technology and presents solutions that cut the energy consumption of a building at the same time as increasing the level of comfort. At the fair, everything is represented, from LED technology, via photovoltaic and electro-mobility, to intelligent electricity usages with smart metering and smart grids. Thanks to the combination of lighting and networked building-services technology, the companies can present an integrated spectrum of products and services that make a decisive contribution to exploiting the energy-saving potential of buildings to the full.

We will follow-up this event update later with a more detailed show preview. If you are interested, you can read the Light + Building 2014 Review.
