Shaping the future at Interclima 2024
Interclima, the trade show for comfort and energy efficiency, returned from 30th September - 3rd October, at the Porte de Versailles, in Paris, France. Opening alongside Batimat (the international multi-specialist trade fair for the building and construction industry), Ideobain (the French trade show specialising in bathroom fittings and equipment) and Equipbaie-Métalexpo by Batimat (the French carpentry and metalwork industry trade show), Interclima had the aim of inspiring designers and installers to choose the innovative solutions for the buildings of today and tomorrow.
As a major event in the French calendar, Eurovent Certification, Eurovent Association, Eurovent Market Intelligence and ProdBIM fielded a full team of experts to tackle the trade show, holding a stand in Hall 3 at booth J078. Eurovent Certification’s France Partnership Manager, Sophie Bocquillon, took part in no less than three presentations, covering the topics of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), ventilation and heat pumps, and had the honour of presenting an award at the “Trophées de l’Ingénierie performante de CFP et ICO.”
