Light + Building 2026
Be Electrified – Electrifying Places. Illuminating Spaces.
From March 8 to 13, 2026, Frankfurt am Main will once again become the international meeting place for the industry with the world’s leading trade fair for lighting and building technology. Exhibitors and innovators will demonstrate how technology and design go hand in hand to create sustainable, connected, and livable environments. Visit the Schneider Electric booth (D56) and experience how AI-supported FZI solutions are helping to make real estate and building management more efficient, transparent, and sustainable.
With its three focal points of “Sustainable Transformation,” “Smart Connectivity,” and “Living Light,” Light + Building 2026, with this year’s theme “Be Electrified – Electrifying Places. Illuminating Spaces,” sets thematic accents that address both current and future developments in the industry and highlight key topics from design, architecture, craftsmanship, and technology.
Future-proof software solutions for more efficient and sustainable building management
Visit the
Schneider Electric booth D56 in Hall 11.
We will present our work that is part of the BMWE-funded Hybrenergy project. This project combines research and industry expertise to create digital twins of buildings. These are used for energy simulations, TBE optimizations, and collaborative virtual reality visualizations. In addition to the FZI, the partners involved are Schneider Electric GmbH, responsible for project management, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and RWTH Aachen University.
The project goal: To sustainably reduce CO2 emissions in buildings—regardless of whether they are new or existing buildings in operation.
By combining Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) technologies, you benefit from a permanent digital database that saves time, costs, and resources in building management. With the existing know-how, even complex building data can be processed securely and in accordance with standards for the entire building life cycle.
The advantages:
- Rapid creation of 3D building models
- Model variants can be mapped and evaluated in terms of costs, ROI, and carbon footprint.
- Variant selection for transfer to the actual status (as-built)
- Thanks to BIM and DIN SPEC 91555, there is now a standardized basis for reliably transferring information to CAFM systems.
