Conference programme of the E2 Forum Frankfurt also scores in architecture

Elevators and escalators are moving into the focus of building planning, and, all the more as the trades in planning, construction and operation become more interconnected. The multitude of digital options enhances greater energy and resource efficiency, more climate neutrality and also cost reduction: These are the goals which architects and civil engineers have the relevant levers to achieve already today. The E2 Forum offers them two intense days of conference knowledge and personal encounters: the former brings further training points from the Federal German Architects’ Chambers – the latter promotes new impulses.

Passenger transport at trade shows: Escalator safety starts from the handrail

With a floorspace of 529,000 square metres, Messe Frankfurt operates one of the largest exhibition grounds in the world. Its visitors want to move quickly, reliably and safely from exhibition halls to conference centres and from one hall level to the next: More than 300 escalators and moving walkways as well as around 200 elevators are operated and further developed by the company's own facility management. Recently, the lift and escalator managers at Messe Frankfurt have been testing an innovation for hygiene on escalator handrails. It is based on ultraviolet UV-C light.

Interview with OLaf Kühl: Escalators in trade show operation: "Hands on" – passenger safety starts on the handrail

Support for the unsecured and the inexperienced? ... Wrong: that's what Olaf Kühl, Head of Facility Management at Messe Frankfurt, says.
