The VDMA Building Technology Forum warns against rushed GEG changes. Instead of hasty decisions, clear, reliable, and practical rules are needed to preserve proven standards and develop them sustainably - turning reform into an industry opportunity.
The building technology sector offers key solutions for the energy transition – yet it shrank by 4 percent in 2024. The issue isn’t a lack of innovative technology, but rather a lack of political reliability in increasingly uncertain timeson
Over 100 guests came together in Berlin on July 9, 2025 to discuss the GEG, EPBD and the role of mechanical engineering in the building and heating transition. The focus: technology-open, practical solutions for implementation in partnership.
A lack of new buildings, stalled refurbishment projects and rising costs are making the transformation of existing buildings towards climate neutrality more difficult. Viable concepts and a simplification of construction and approval practices are needed.
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.

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.
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.

EU Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) clears final hurdle. VDMA Automation Management for House Buildings: specialist planners should develop a holistic concept at an early stage
Even though the new Building Energy Act (GEG) is often reduced to a "heating law" for the residential sector and is the subject of controversial debate, the GEG also contains groundbreaking changes for non-residential buildings.
Building automation for a sustainable future - full support for the new building energy law
With the final report now completed and the integration of the I4.0 submodels into the buildingSmart Data Dictionary (bSDD), VDMA Pump Systems as well as Compressors Compressed Air and Vacuum Technology have completed the "Pump Digitization" project.
With the help of VDMA-DaTeR, VDMA member companies can quickly and easily access technical information from over 70 countries.
Currently published maintenance information of the AIG.
High demand for information calls for expert knowledge. Second information publication provides detailed information on the subject of ventilation and air-conditioning systems in the healthcare sector.
The maintenance of technical systems and equipment in buildings serves to maintain the target condition and availability. It is the basis for safe, hygienic and efficient system operation.
The inspection of technical systems and equipment in buildings primarily serves to record the actual condition and enables a comparison with the target condition. Weak points can be identified.
VDMA 24247-3 "Guidelines for improving energy efficiency in cold stores" provides practical assistance for improving the energy efficiency of cold stores and deep-freeze warehouses.
Unnoticed, numerous small and large pumps perform their daily service to make people's lives easier.
