Fields of action
The working group has defined three fields of action. In each case, the focus is on existing buildings - i.e. adding storeys, redensification and reuse.
- Generally recognized rules of technology (German: allgemeine Regeln der Technik, aRdT)
The goal is to develop recommendations for appropriate building standards to make construction simpler and, above all, more cost-effective. This could include allowing not only expensive comfort standards but also more affordable, adequate minimum standards—such as in sound insulation. - Modulare and serial building
Obstacles under building regulations should be removed, but acceptance problems also need to be addressed and reduced. In this context, the legal framework for reusing building components should also be regulated. - Adding storeys, redensification, reuse - setting incentives, promoting acceptance
The aim is to develop recommendations to strengthen investment in existing buildings and for more storeys, redensification and reuse. Topics being discussed: possible incentivisation of the provision of space by private individuals/co-operatives or cooperatives, instruments for local authorities to simplify building in existing buildings and climate policy approaches to increase incentives for existing buildings.
