Stuttgart, 24.11.2022 – The Insulation Specialist Group met at the end of October for its 75th specialist group meeting in Erpfendorf, Austria, the location of Steinbacher Dämmstoff GmbH. The agenda of the hybrid meeting included technical topics such as the Building Energy Act GEG, the work of the DIN Standards Committee CEN/TC 228 NA 041 (NHRS), insulation in the drinking water sector. Reports were also given on the current status of the Division’s contact with the VDI on the basis of the VDI 6028 evaluation criteria. Another important item on the agenda was the future activities and orientation of the Division. The expansion of marketing channels such as the website and press releases had already been considered and should now be implemented. In addition, the section would like to recruit more strong members for the association’s work, as new elections for the spokespersons are also due next year and suitable candidates are desired for the office and the active steering of the group.
With Norbert Kehrer, nmc Deutschland GmbH, not only a deputy group spokesperson but also a long-standing and committed member is leaving the group. Daniel Graba, BBQS Engineering GmbH, would also like to hand over the chairmanship of the group next year to a young representative from the industry who will drive forward the new projects of the specialist group.
“In the past, Norbert Kehrer has always been actively involved in all projects of the specialist group and, among other things, has contributed significantly to changes in legal requirements. We thank him very much for his excellent cooperation and commitment to the group. At the meeting, the group also set itself ambitious goals for the future. We are counting on good cooperation between the members and are already looking forward to the next meeting in April,” says Daniel Graba, spokesman for the insulation materials group.
