Appointment of an energy manager
- Targeted recording of energy consumption
- Major investment in a recording system
- Instilling an energy-saving approach in Messe Friedrichshafen’s employees
- The above measures enable consistent, continuous energy optimisation

In recognition of its efforts, the Messe Friedrichshafen was given the German Energy Award by DENA in 2014

The new visualisation of all components of the building engineering systems now makes it possible to pinpoint unnecessary energy consumption quickly

For this achievement, Messe Friedrichshafen was presented with the German E-Planner Award 2016.

Avoidance of power spikes through the use of energy optimisation software, in places also in conjunction with power utility companies (e.g. Messe restaurant)
Special transformer system to avoid power losses
Generation of electricity using solar collectors installed on the roofs of all of Messe Friedrichshafen’s auxiliary buildings
Provision of charging points for electro-mobility
Hall concept that makes maximum use of daylight
E-charging stations for clients

Economical, sparing and green

Sparing and green:
- Targeted wastewater retention system (e.g. oil and grease separators)
- Use of ecologically-sound detergents
- Employee training
- Precipitation that collects on paved surfaces is channelled via pipes to nearby retention basins from where, after a few days going through a self-cleaning process, it is returned to the natural water cycle via a stream.

Through the installation of decentralised heating, cooling and ventilation units, needs-appropriate, targeted operation – based on individual hall occupancy – is possible without power losses
The hall personnel consistently keep on eye on the hall entrances and doors to ensure optimum operation
Sun protection thanks to installation of glare shielding and blackout option
State-of-the-art, ultra energy-efficient technology has been deployed in the halls (e.g. heat recovery and intelligent system control that regulates across all technical components).

Employee and service provider agreement on the avoidance of waste and encouraging the use of recyclable materials
Consistent separation of special waste, recyclables and paper. Up to 90% of waste is thus reusable
Appointment of in-house personnel to monitor waste separation
Professional and experienced service providers – contracts awarded with due consideration for waste separation
Avoidance of unnecessary logistical journeys: use of very large containers and needs-appropriate provision of same in the halls
Complete abolition of disposable tableware and cutlery by the end of 2017

Reduction of individual transport thanks to comprehensive shuttle bus service (hotels, airports, key city centres)
Offer of free use of bicycles for individual mobility
E-bikes as company bicycles

Use of regional products
“Bio am See” as one of the two Messe partners – inclusive of Messe restaurant
Health-conscious choices, inclusive of vegan and vegetarian
Water dispensers throughout the entire Messe grounds for use with individual’s own drinking vessel

Provision of bicycles, scooters and e-bikes for travelling around the grounds and the nearby local area
Promotional programme, such as bonuses for the purchase of bicycles and e-bikes
Free electrical charging for owners of e-cars during working hours
In-house technicians ensure efficient use of energy
Instruction and training for employees with regard to ways of saving energy
In-house advisory service on saving energy costs for the project teams
Networking of workplace appliances for better, more efficient use of equipment
Workplace design with daylight concept
