The decisive impulse for this special exhibition was triggered by the very well-attended lecture event organized by the Schleswig-Holstein Regional sports association on the renovation of sports facilities at the last NordBau. The investment backlog at sports facilities is vast. Many buildings and facilities are outdated and need to be renovated. The Ministry of the Interior in Schleswig-Holstein, which is responsible for sports, and the regional sports association are ready to take up finding in the regions of hundreds of millions, in the coming years. On this occasion, we need to seize the opportunity during renovations and in new buildings, not only to produce the functionality for traditional sports offers, but rather to prepare facilities so that they correspond to the changing trends in sports. Modern, contemporary and future-oriented buildings and facilities for the young and old, for people in the countryside, as well as in the cities. Important topics such as inclusion, integration and simultaneous offers for children and parents must be considered. The point that sports facilities in open space and in clubs are important meeting places for social cohesion should be given greater attention in proposals and planning. Together with the Technical University of Lübeck, the Schleswig-Holstein States Sports Association and numerous other partners, a central point of contact sample modules, models and planning examples will be created in Hall 8, on an area of around 400 square meters. Andrea Schauließ, of the Department of Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Lübeck, said: "The special exhibition "Sports facilities for the future" in itself should already be an eye-catcher as an exhibition stand and give visitors and representatives of associations as well as municipal sponsors impulses and suggestions for the implementation of renovation measures, but also have visions for the future. We invite the visitors to stay and get informed at the joint stand. They will gain insights into sports facilities for the future, the renovation of new buildings and sports buildings, as well as information on sports fields with a realignment to the future needs and trends of the people.

Furthermore, in Hall 8, numerous exhibitors from the field of tiles and stoneware will complement the spectrum for the renovation of sports facilities.

Designing living spaces and SmartHome for the home

Due to the increasing digitization of home automation control, there are significant benefits for homeowners, property owners and housing associations: the control of heating and ventilation technology can reduce energy consumption, and with digitization burglary protection can be implemented in a versatile and preventative manner.

But digitization now also includes other areas such as special tiles or floor coverings. This allows sensors to ensure that older people, for example, can live safely and longer in their own home. NordBau offers a platform for visitors, manufacturers and clients to be able to exchange information on this important, future-oriented topic.
